I just found this forum via google and I joined just to tell everyone, yes it is a SCAM! At least in my experience.
I joined maybe 2 months ago and was very excited at the prospect of a simulation/economy game like marketglory. However, my problem began when I invested $10 Euros, which equals about $14 USD.... they never deposited my money into my game account...so I guess they thought it was a friendly gift. Yeah right.
There are so many "shady" things I have found on that website - I would recommend staying far far away!
After I invested, I was patient for a couple of days. After about a week, I emailed them and they said that the deposit takes anywhere from 2-5 business days to take affect. So I was patient again. About 2 weeks after not seeing the money I invested I contacted them again. Their reply was to ask me what game/website I was trying to deposit money into, my real name, email, etc - they acted like they had no idea of what I was talking about. Keep in mind that upon first contact I sent them all of the paypal transaction proof, my name, username on the game, as well as my email.
I responded with the information they requested and have never heard back from them. I have repeatedly tried contacting them and..nothing.
That on top of many other problems in the 'game' is why this is a scam in my opinion.
Another example is their 'Partners Fund' where you can buy a 'share' for .80 Euro. When the 'Pool' reaches 10,000 the shares are distributed evenly among shareholders. Sounds awesome right? Well, as soon as it gets around 9 thousand, it will suddenly drop to 82 or some crazy number. The reason why is that they just opened a sister game called Goal Tycoon and they admit taking money from the Partners Fund and funding this other game.
This is just the tip of the iceberg folks! I could go on and on, but I thought I would share my experience to warn you and others that are trying to make legitimate money online. I think it is a disgrace, unethical and gives the entire online money making industry a horrible name. Plus, it makes good people vulnerable to these sites that suck our time and money.
