Dear visitor,
thanks for visit. For sure you are here to find out why someone dedicated entire webpage to say this to the world. Well, there is a good reason for it. We as a team, we hate scams, and boy, this one is on a large scale. Whatever is published here will be supported by the proofs, because no one is guilty until proven otherwise. If your question is - is buygames.ps safe , is buygames.ps legit , give me buygames.ps review and similar questions, you are on the right place. So, lets start.
1. Who is behind this website?
Well, thats the tricky one. But with help of our friends we figured that out. Their whois tells that owner is some lady from Russia called Liudmila Stryapshina , which of course is fake, but with proper digging from our team we found out that owner is Alexandru Mihalache from Romania who stated on their website that company is opened in - Registrant Street: C calle vela no 2 Registrant City: Estepona Registrant State/Province: Madrid Registrant Postal Code: 29680, and of course thats not the case. They can as well on chat tell you that they are based in Wyoming, US and so on, basically changing address as per what IP you are using.
As we have friends all over the world our friends went there and even with help of Spain Tax departement there is no company which is registered on this name or is on this address. If you ask them where is company located answer will be -
As you are probably aware as per law , and as per EU law, as thet are stating that company is in EU teritory its a must that company details are revealed somwhere on the website, here its not a case. If you push asking your questions will remain unanswered and you will be banned from chat. Company must answer to those questions right away as per law.
But if you are lucky eventually someone will reply on email -
So is it Indonesia, Wyoming or Spain? Hehe, as we said its Romania and someone from there, if they can advertise there at all , should visit this address and see what is there , if anything at all -
Established in 2020 only, but terms are from 2017. on a website. And no revenue at all. Zero Romanian Leu shown. Some huge tax evasion for someone claiming to work from 2015. Anyway, lets move on.
How we conducted this test? We asked them that we are interested in wholesale because prices are right, and they said that it would be great and of course we can do it. So we started buying games for us, not even reselling them, just keepin them on email -
Funny part is how they are presenting username and password of PSN account as cdkey, as we are sure that this is not a form of a cdkey -
But than we created a script which will log in to every account every day, and than problem started, because they are not working that way, which we will explain later how this theft is taking place, in details. Once they started to deactivate our playstation accounts we send message on Mihalache whatsapp number. We told him that we bought games worth 10.000 EUR and that he scammed us, which he did, but of course not for that ammount, ant just check answer from the scammer, and if you want to call a scammer do it on +34.642057752 as its buygames.ps phone number, they tried to hide it, but no way they can hide it from us -
And now the fun starts. As you can see in 4th picture he stated that they cut all wholesale buyers even tho we agreed to do this. Instantly on the same day they changed TOS stating this -
Also when contacting they live chat message was -
As per EU Law its illegal to apply TOS to already bought items, and its apsurd in the first place. TOS is affecting only new items bought after the date stated as date when TOS was changed. Plus they admitted that they way of selling accounts can not be legal, otherwise Sony would not ban those accounts in the first place. Be aware that in some cases Sony can ban your entire console in this way!
So despite the fact that we bought games before this change of TOS, they still refused to return games back, which is ultimately not allowed, because as per EU law change of TOS after the date of accepting them is not legal. So if you buy something which claims to have one year warranty, after you buy that, seller can not say - oh now its warranty is 15 days. Funny thing is they are stating EU law when they are in favor of it , just check this -
So reselling is fine as per them when they are doing it, but if you want to sell or gift to someone than it breaks their TOS, which again is break of the Playstation TOS anyway as sharing and reselling of playstation accounts is illegal anyway. Lets skip to part 2 of the scheme.
2. How are they doing it?
Fo someone who wants cheaper games than usual, which even here is not the case, because Playstation Store has way better prices when there is a discount on them than those scammers, you just need to wait some time, this website can look like good opportunity. But is it? No, its not. There is not way your game will last as per they statement of - lifetime warranty. They just do simple statistics trick, and yes, this is pure math and statistics. Lets begin -
Phase one - create master PSN adult account
Phase two - create up to 5 subaccounts attached to master account
Phase three - buy a game for full price, for example, fifa when launched is 59$ and they will sell game to you from primary account for lets say 40$ and you think that its a good deal, you get a cheaper game, and plus its on main account which is awesome. Well, its not.
Phase four - Now the fun begins from their side. As master account can see when exactly someone played a game from subaccount, they will see when there is inactivity for account they sold to you and will deactivate you, and again sell that same account to someone else, but first to change a password. And boy they are smart, even if you change sign in id, they still can recover it from master account. If you want to give them a headache, and for some reason still buy a game there, activate 2 step, but be aware that still they can revert back changed after contacting PSN support as first owners. Of course they will took your game away sooner or later.
Phase five - I lost my game. They will point you to the chat and will give you replacement of the same region, as than you can just continue your game from your main account giving some lame excuse why this happened. They took it, that happened. You will think than - what a great support that is, but no, this is just a part of the scam.
Conclusion - Its statistics game as we told. They just resell games over and over again based on you inactivity. So for 60$ they paid, they make a huge profit based on the fact that you will not play your game forever. If everyone starts to play their games every single day, they are doomed. It would be at least 70% of the owners who lost games already.
3. Dealing with brother scammers
And they cooped with another famous scammer, which in this case is PayOp. Its payment processor which no one till date can track where the hell and how they came from and got licences for they work. Trustpilot is full of negative claims from their users but as its normal for trustpilot, just give me money and I will remove all wrong which is said about you. They are really another level scammers.
If website at least doesnt support PayPal or bank payment processor itself with official bank logo which represents it, you should be worried about 3rd party processors. PayOp was based in UK, on fake address, than moved to HK, on another offshore fake address, and owned by Ukraine dude which was charged for a fraud. We tested them also and maybe will brief about that also, was fun story to tell. And payouts are made from a company, on your PayPal account, which sells playstation accounts??? I mean, what an actual f*ck! Support in non existent and they scammed people already for huge ammounts of money, so no PayPal protection for 6 months, no chargebacks as they will probably fail, your money is lost the moment you bought something from buygames.ps .
4. Trustpilot for a even greater rate of scam
As you are probably aware trustpilot is a website where you can review companies, but there is one small issue with that. To make bread for a families which are working there they need a money. Money is taken from companies which are willing to use trustpilot on some pro level, which is not pro at all, but gives you advantage over scamming your customers more easily and protecting you as a scammer. Huge ammount of legit reviews will be deleted as scammers tend to report everything and proving that you never dealt with them and you just mistakenly accusing them for something they did not do, but buygames.ps is one good example of that. Just look at this -
This statement is funny on so many levels that we dont know from where to start. First, your website doesnt have any about page as per EU law, you are stating that you had great success selling on Ebay??? What? Thats about page? And asking for a customers to seek legal info via email? How is that legit as per EU law? Maybe someone should read actuall EU law regarding website informations again from this scam website. Almost every negative review was legit, and we encountered similar siutations on our tests. By which law you can give someone 15 days warranty? I am curious because law says something else -
And regarding legal info on the website -
Buygames.ps failed miserably and we are giving 100% on our scam test. Congrats.
