AnimeBallZ.com is a ripoff...

**Samurai02008** · 09-13-2008, 07:04 PM

Hey everyone. Just wanted to give you all a heads up. Recently I found an anime dvd ordering site called AnimeBallZ.com. It was sponsoring the complete Gundam 0079 series on dvd. So I ordered it. That was nearly 4 weeks ago. Today no more than 10-15 min. ago I tried to call the company up to find out what was taking my order so long. It turned out to be an out of service Verison Wirless disposible cell phone. I am more than likely to either not receive anything or a bootleg. Plus to top it all off I lost over $40 dollars because of my stupidity. I am writing this to let you all know. Should any of you happen to run across an advertisement for this site or the site its self. DO NOT...I REPEAT, DO NOT BUY ANYTHING FROM THIS SITE. Also while your at it. If you are able to. see if you can find some way to flag the site and get it shut down. I would do this my self but I am not computer illiterate enough to know how to do that. Most of you guys are far more computer savy than me. So if you guys run across this site, do your fellow anime brother or sister a favor and warn them or do whatever you have to do to stop them from making the same mistake I did. I hope that you all find this and use the info wisely. If anyone has comments or questions post here please. If this is the wrong forum for this topic my apologies. I wasnt sure if it was or not. A very ticked off Samurai02008 bids you all a good day and a safe internet life from cons like this bull for brains I was just talking about before.

Well I understand that it was pretty stupid on my part to get snagged into that trap so easily. But I just wanted to give you all a heads up just incase you have a friend or know someone who is as trusting as I am so that you can warn them. So keep your friends safe guys. It is indeed a dark day when people have to prey on anime fans to get their kicks and laughs and make money without being totally legitamate about it.

Rule number 1 of the internet: Do NOT press any internet ads. <w< They are made of fail and will try to rip you off/give you malware.

:/ I am sorry to hear you fell in such a trap. But what done is done. It can't be changed.
Unless you sue them. >D

that's a ripoff ya don't click on internet ads their mostly stupid....see those "u got a free ipod nano" ones yet?

**Samurai02008** · 09-13-2008, 10:31 PM

yeah. I stay away from those. Only because of the fact that nothing is free or won online. I guess the only reason that I thought this would be different was because the order form was set up just like an order form for ordering stuff from walmart or bestbuy or something.

**Shanasha1234** · 09-13-2008, 10:33 PM

Yes lol those can be decieving.....I mean, I once clicked on one of those things, just for fun, and there was this order form in front of me. The only thing giving the "wrongness" away was this voice shouting "free (something i forget)" in my ear...

Well that certainly sucks. If you haven't payed your credit card bill yet though you can call your credit card company and dispute the charge.

**Samurai02008** · 09-13-2008, 10:44 PM

No its to late. He took the money out the next day after I had placed the order. but I am resolving it so that my current card is discontinued and I get a new one. I just gotta go through some red tape up at work in order to get the new one. Does anyone know how to flag this guys site? Because he deserves it so bad. He's swindled several other anime fans some recieved their stuff others did not. This guy is a stinking plague as far as I am concerned and needs to be stomped out.

**AnimeJunky** · 09-13-2008, 11:15 PM

Hmm, That sucks. I've ordered from animeballz 3 or 4 times & haven't had a problem. Have you tried emailing them?
