i placed a gold order with these thieves last week , i was confronted by an in game delivery char of wowmines who requested a trade , typed a 1000g in the trade window , took a screenshot of it and then cancelled the trade , i contacted live help and they told me they delivered the Gold , i contacted their escalation department and was told they had delivered the gold to me and not to bother with them again . They are a complete RIPOFF and i urge any one thinking of using them not to . I am compiling a list of people that have been conned by this company that i will forward to paypal in order to have them banned any one wishing to add their name to this list please e-mail me at *******@hotmail.co.uk (*******@hotmail.co.uk)
I too ,have been conned by these thieves.
What can be done about it ???

Giving out e-mail adresses can get you banned (ingame) m8, so use the PM system if you want to communicate. As for what can be done about it... Basically what he already said, contest the charges, but make sure you dont make a false claim m8 cause that will technically be fraud... and that WILL get you in trouble, even on digital merchandise that is still greyish on legality.
yeah these guys are some serious scam artists, after I paid for my order the live chat operator spammed me with this canned directions list on how to log into my paypal account and screenshot my BANK ACCOUNT INFO and CREDIT CARD info, when I refused they told me it was to make sure my money was safe lol... on a verified account right... so then they told me thats ok just screenshot my wow account login page LOL!!! Yeah thats going to show my moneys safe... I swear, I dont understand how these scammers stay in business.

I used them and things went ok - delivery time was a few days longer than promised, but they pulled through and delivered without any issues.
I got lucky? I would use them again if I had to - unless someone had another REALLY great source!
So - who would YOU recommend?!?!
Cheers!

Well i haven't had anyproblems with their gold service but the powerleveling is terrible. They got my acount banned in 8 days and i had to make a new one. They are a bad company!

At LEAST they smartly warn you to start a new account for powerleveling services, not to use an already established one. I was smart enough to do that anyway even without them telling me. Sure enough after less than a week there was a "final warning" and a three day suspension and then account closure. I tell them Bliz closed the account, and they go, "Well, do this and this and this, 90% of our customers get their account re-opened this way. If you're in the unlucky 10% contact us and we'll see about recompense." So I do this, and this, and this, and Bliz says no, the account stays closed. So I tell WoWmine this, and they go, "Well, do this and this and this, 90% of our customers get their account re-opened this way. If you're in the unlucky 10% contact us and we'll see about recompense." So I do this, and this, and this, and Bliz says no, the account stays closed. I tell WoWmine this, and they go, "Well, do this and this and this, 90% of our customers get their account re-opened this way. If you're in the unlucky 10% contact us and we'll see about recompense." So I do this, and this, and this, and Bliz says no, now we KNOW we were right to close the account because of the pattern of your cries of unfair, so the account stays closed. I tell WoWmine this and ask them, "What part of Bliz said NO don't you understand?" And they answer, "Well if you don't follow all our instructions then we cannot help you further."
At least they got that last part right.
Want my advice? Get level 70 and your gold the old-fashioned way... EARN them. The entire pre-BC original game has been nerfed to high heaven anyway and BC will follow suit shortly after WOTLK comes out... so getting 20+ alts to level 70 in full Karazhan purples and an epic flying mount is not the bitter, frustrating struggle it used to be.

Hehe I was in the middle of talking to the wowmine people about them not giving me the gold when i saw a link to this exact page come up, so i thought for a minute and clicked it, and realised that i was probably getting scammed, me being young wasnt sure exactly what to do, but then i had a great idea, i decided to say i was a lawyer and say i would take legal actions unless they gave me a full refund ON THE SPOT, the first time they said 15 hours, then i started to say i was videotaping all of the conversation, and what do you know 2 minutes later my email got 45$ from Paypal:D

lol wow, well i have got like 3 transactions of gold from them of 300 gold over span of 4 months and not once had problems. Before the last one I ordered 100 and it didnt' come in and i was worried. i checked my email and it had a letter on their from paypal saying wowmine gold sale expired and my money was refunded to my account...so from what i've seen they are on top of things. but after reading this im a little more cautious

WOWmine is just a bitch to use, same as mmoinn.com

meh I think ye just had bad luck or something personally i had a great experience on what is my first order i'll admit, but having waited a week for another safe site but neverthless annoyingly slow and needed a quick bit so ordered a low amount, anyhow I like the wowmine showing you much gold's instock... and .... they don't do from what I can see in-char trades? only mail only, anyhow within 5 minutes of my order they said they sent it, (didnt even bother to verify me possibly as im located in the uk and provided a uk mobile no for them to phone hehe + payal premier verified account )
Any right on que an hour a later my mail arrived with my money, my advise to ye wait for the mail, I had no issues, unfortunately as for powerlevelling well, frankly ever since these services appeared i've avoided them, the only ones that wont get your account banned cost a fortune, and the rest get treated well a bit to obviously not to spot, after all if your char goes from say 1 hour a day average to 80 in a week on a day's notice it's gonna show up as suspect.
Well ye get my drift, not to mention they may share ip's etc which are suspect.
Also bear in mind who knows who's making this post given most of the posters are novices(inc me i spotted this via the chat thing) could be someone working for a rival company etc, so frankly stick to your experience, but be cautious with everybody.
But as for gold order's wowmine's fine by me providing you do it by mail, hell damn fine, 5 minutes delivery + no need to contact them to see instock money on a server is the kinda service i expect but have seldom received,just wish they all did!
If you had bad luck didnt receive your money just reclaim your money through paypal, providing the same details you did on the post screenshotting you didnt get it yourself would have been useful for manual trades, a before and after screenshot with say icq time up in another window or something, I've got my money back from such services which turned out to be scammers before, you have 45 days to open an incident or whatever they call it forgot exactly then you have 20 days after that to escalate it to a claim whereby the claim lasts like 10 days ish.
Try to do all your communicating via paypal. don't escalate to a claim immediately ask for one via paypal and say what you think happened. you want to build a chain of evidence which show's whoever finally decides if they dont provide a refund before it gets to that, that your acting sensibly, in an adult fashion and suitably polite manner, and show they been poorly communicating and so on which helps your case. essentially you want to look like a saint and hope they show themselves up to be rather less, if your a long-term paypal user it will be easier as theres a body of evidence your a good trader.

i dont have a prob with WoWmine, they just take 12hrs to deliver the goods, which is annoying when they say on their site 5 mins delivery, mmoinn.com took 24hrs which is a bitch! so im gonna find someone else, if all else fails, i'll earn it the old fashsion way!

Please discuss this topic here.
Kind regards.
Just thought I would update my post, its been a while but I think people should know just what happened.
I never did get my refund from these people after they asked me to screenshot my bank account / wow account info to "verify" myself. So I had to file a complaint with my bank to have a chargeback done. All I can say is steer clear of this company what a joke and a waste of time.
wow, I've went through them 4 times now, all went off without a hitch. The last one they managed to catch me in game, did the trade and 5 minutes later someone else pm's me saying "soandso" just delivered your gold, please type yes or no if the transactions was succesful.
Now the site I actually go through is wowspa (https://www.wowspa.com/buywowgold.php), but the paypal payments/email are wowmine. After 4 succesful sales I'm not leary anymore. It would be nice to hear where some of you who have had problems buy from if you found someplace else.

Before your read please keep in mind I DO NOT ENDORSE WoWMine!!!
A friend of mine has just ordered 10.000g from them.
Eventough they claimed they had over 35.000g on my server, they still didnt have everything on file.
Needless to say tough, they delivered on the full amount over three days.
He has no complaints there. This may be an isolated case, but he had a good experience with them.

I agree, I would NOT recommend wowmines, I ordered 300 gold on the ninth and didn't get it. I chatted daily with the live support, telling me to wait 24-48 hours. I'd come home from practice, and talk to them about it. Today I finally got tired, plus I read everyone's reviews on it, and I was getting mad.
This is how the conversation went.

Due to a sharp increase of our business, we are currently handling a significantly high volume of chat requests. As a result, waiting time may be longer than usual.The rolling banner on the right is sponsored by MMOMaven.com. Feel free to check it out while you're waiting for the next available agent. Thank you for holding.
Chat InformationYou are now chatting with support agent 'Sarah'
Chat InformationYour Issue ID for this chat is *************
Sarah: Hi! ___. Welcome to the LiveChat Service!
Let me know how I can be of help while I'm pulling up your order details (if you have filled the pre-chat survey).
Sarah: I am actually handling many customers at the same time for a prolong period. Response time is slower than usual. Just bear with me here. I will use Canned Responses (CR) to increase chat efficiency. Feel free to ask me to elaborate if you find the CR unfitting.
ME: Hello
Sarah: I'm going to get some more info about your order. Please bear with me a few minutes.
ME: OKay
Sarah: US ******** A Aurelen 315
ME: Yes
Sarah: One moment please, I will check for you.
ME: Okay
Sarah: I am sorry to have kept you waiting for so long. Your server's gold is in great demand. We have some difficulty gathering enough gold to deliver as Blizzard relentlessly bans our farming accounts. It is our sincere wish to retain you as our customers. We would be delighted if you may stay put and wait for a few more days allowing us to gather your gold, maybe send out to you in batches.
Our another offer is we can change your gold order to a powerleveling order, using the undelivered gold to pay for the PL order. Let me know if you are interested in it or not.
ME: I am NOT interested in getting a Power leveling.
ME: I demand a full refund of my money for the gold order.
Sarah: Ohh
Sarah: We are terribly sorry for keeping you waiting so long, but we are now working hard on it to make sure you can get it ASAP. Could you please wait some time for it, by any chance?
Sarah: We will use more farmers on your realm and we will hurry for the gold
ME: Are you working harder because I demand a refund?! I've waited five days! I understand if it takes up to 3, but almost a week?
Sarah: I can see from your order that you have been waiting for a long time , But the gold on the realm is in great demand so it causes the delay
ME: On the website, it shows how much gold is in stocked! Could that number be wrong?
ME: I ordered for 300 gold, not 10,000.
Sarah: Due to our immense number of orders, stock fluctuate greatly. The stock amount you see on our site is updated on hourly basic.
ME: 48958 gold is on that server.
ME: So it says on the website.
ME: I ordered 300 of that 48958
Sarah: Although the screen showed we have lots of gold in your realm, due to the account got banned, there is no so much gold available yet
ME: Oh, so now the account is banned? So then how are you suppling me with my orders? Or the other customers?
Sarah: We are buying new account now
Sarah: Once we are ready, we will mail the gold to you immediately
ME: That is an important piece of information you were not telling. Don't you think we, as the costumers, should know about that.
Sarah: I am terrible sorry for the delay
ME: Well. O
ME: I've heard enough of sorrys!
ME: I either A. Want a full refund or B. My gold, now.
ME: But since the account is banned, I don't think B is going to work
Sarah: If you cannot bear more time, we will cancel it
ME: Then cancel it.
Sarah: Cancelling
ME: I will get a full refund of my money, correct?
Sarah: Yeah
ME: When will I receive it?
Sarah: I have just submitted the refund notice to our accounting department. You will recieve a confirmation email from PayPal later.
Note: if you paid by PayPal account, you can see the money back to your PayPal account in a short while. However, delay may occur due to handling error in our accounting department. Please check back with us 2 hours later if you still cannot see the refund or the cancellation of order.
ME: Okay Thankyou. If there is a problem, I shall contact you once again.
Sarah: You are welcome
Sarah: Goodnight

Jeez, even after what I read, and what they've done, they had the guys to ask for a PL. I rather just work for that Damn gold.
This is strange, I have used wowmine at least 4 times in the past and each time I was happy with the outcome. Sure, it's never 5 mins delivery but I've never heard of a site that actually delivers in 5 mins.
After buying gold from wowgoldlive once it's made me really like wowmine because I know I will get my gold.
below is a copy of the chat i just had with wowmine- after nearly a week of emails and online chats.:mad:
