CJS CD KEYS

Just been ripped off by CJS so would advise people stay clear. I have a case with Barclaycard against them as paypal does not cover non physical goods.
 
I used them once and never again. They key I purchased for cod waw was already tied to another user's account. After a Paypal dispute I got my money back, but I'll stick to gmg, gamefly from now on.
 
I just had my paypal dispute refused as they do not cover non physical goods.

I was sold a deluxe version of Assassins creed 3 which was only a standard edition. Cjs openly lied on a paypal dispute about what was included even though it was clearly stated on their website.

Barclaycard cover non physical goods and will refund if an item is not as stated which it is clearly not.
 
No problems buying steam keys from him before, instant response when I asked him questions pre-purchase and happy with that.

Its just another option for me, either CJs, GMG, Steam, MM etc whoever is cheapest and quickest to get me a game I want, will get my cash.
 
Avoid CJS like the plague, I've posted why in the other threads.

After all, they are grey market keys, with the potential to be banned, but what topped it to me was their false advertising, lies on the website, incorrect stock counts, misleading claims and not fulfilling orders, among the fact they have the worst customer service I've ever experience.

That is all.

Personally, when I order stuff online and look at reviews, it's common to say the odd bit of late delivery, or sometimes bad customer service. But selling keys that were obtained through CC fraud is simply unacceptable for any store in my opinion, add to that the bad customer service of outright saying that the customer is not telling the truth just to try and get a free key and a refund is just not on.

Sure, the person may not have known that the place he got the keys from were from CC fraud, but if he wants to run a legit company he has to verify the source of his products. No physical retail store would get away with selling stolen goods and just saying 'I didn't know the supplier was a thief'. Even if the keys were legit, they were all US CD keys, but not advertised as such, so wouldn't be that great for most EU customers.

Is the store legit? it's probably trying to be, but the store is either incompetent and clueless when it comes to obtaining cd keys from suppliers, or it is knowingly selling stolen goods. Neither of which sound like a company I want to do business with, and I would steer people clear of them.


I think selling CD keys like this should be a valid method of purchasing games, and more companies should offer this, I just don't think this is the right company for that.

You summed it up for me as well!

There was another key thread where a few alternatives were discussed, I had a horrific time with this company recently (same story as majnu - they sent me an already used key) and will never ever use them again. I got a refund through paypal as they wouldn't reply to tickets, i had everything screenshotted so i could prove i asked for a refund through legitimate means before turning to a dispute etc... and he refunded before it went to arbitration.
 
Just had an email from paypal stating that as of the 10/12 they will no longer cover "Non physical goods" on the paypal buyer protection scheme and this is why my case was closed. They recomended I contacted the seller to resolve or local authorities if I feel it is a criminal matter.

I imagine paypal are fed up refunding from CJS..... :D
 
never had a problem with them either, have bought a few games from them, guild wars 2 fifa 13 BF3 tera, not had a problem thus far. Though i have to admit, when i first looked at there site it looked dodgy as hell, and still does :p
 
I have only bought twice from them (both times quick and hassle free) but tbh from all the things I've heard about them I won't be using them again I don't wanna play the lottery of "when will it happen to me untill then I'm good" and have to deal with the hassle.

Anyway you wanna spin it a supposed legitamate company selling stolen goods is not a good base model of BUISNESS let alone refusing refunds and accusing customers of theft.

Cjs need to keep there head down and start with a great customer service and good legitamate deals and hope this pulls them out of the negative views people have of them.

This is what CJS replied to me asking about my Deluxe content and season pass which should be included with the Deluxe edition as per their own website page.

Hi sir, our belief is that you only activate once. #when you activate, it activates the whole deluxe items. The only thing that's not included is the season pass. The 'second step' of activation is only for activating the season pass, which we dont include

CJS are happy to lie to their customers and to paypal under dispute conditions. Not really what you would expect in customer service.
 
There are not any websites which sell keys on their own which are legit. All your buying is time to play the game when/if the publisher catches up it will get banned & you may well lose your account which means any legit games will also be unplayable (depending on DRM scheme used but Steam & GFWL will most certainly block your account forever).

Stay well clear of anyone who just sells you the key your not buying the right to play the game just the right to play it for a certain period of time. Sooner or later you may find the game gets disabled online.

Most of these illegal companies either use keygens or find a dodgy source for the actual keys none appear to be authorised by the publisher. The website layout & lack of info is another huge clue as to the legality of it all :rolleyes:

Thats your big clue as to how legit these are if they were legal why would the publisher not just sell them directly ;)
 
Guy who runs this company doesnt give a damn, im sure he's on his way to making his first half million by now. If not more. Maybe he can afford some clearosil

But yes, does sound fraudulent, reminds me of shop.to
 
I hope there's a reason why EA and other companies haven't shut this CDkey site down, is it because its run by this one guy? or that his turnover isnt enough to bother with?
 
The website looks like complete ass, don't know why people would buy from this place in the first place
