Someone here posted a link to a legitimate site that sold russian cd keys for cheap. Anyone know the link?
 
Are they not the ones who used stolen credit cards to buy tons of guild wars 2 keys to resell, then got in tons of trouble when everyone wanted refunds after both the keys were for the wrong region and banned by the devs?

But also the ones that sell perfectly fine games for cheap :)

slander ??
They got hit by a dodgy supplier but they refunded everyone fast. They dumped the supplier so they shouldn't have that problem ever again. They buy from proper companies in bulk

If the statement wasn't true, then wouldn't that be libel rather than slander? However, as the statement is true, i.e. they did sell keys that had been purchased with stolen credit cards, then it's neither. Personally I'd steer well clear of them, they appear to be a very dodgy outfit indeed and I'd rather be safe than sorry.

The statement most likely isn't true. I very much doubt CJ's used stolen credit cards. That's not to say their supplier didn't, but I doubt CJ's themselves did.
 
Even if they themselves didn't directly use stolen credit cards, they didn't care enough to check out their supplier before purchasing the keys to sell on.

With the large range of complaints on OcUK alone about them: http://forums.overclockers.co.uk/showthread.php?t=18405235 http://forums.overclockers.co.uk/showthread.php?t=18407263
I would never do business with them, 1 or 2 complaints against a lot of success stories I may be willing to trust a company with a small purchase, but with so many complaints just on this forum, and if I search google I could most likely find hundreds more people complaining I would suggest that people should look elsewhere for cd keys, even if it means paying a little more.
 
When more of these sites first started appearing a few years ago they offered some genuinely good deals, like half UK retail price, nowadays they are much closer and probably not worth the risk.

Well not really risk as such because you can always get your money back if things go wrong, more hassle I suppose, but a couple of pound cheaper than the cheapest retail price just for an emailed scanned pic of a key? Considering how much less their overheads are it's not really great value any more. It's certainly worth having a look to include them when you compare prices of games, if you buy games at release, but with the frequency of Steam sales for example, it may just be worth waiting for 'real' offers.
