For those of you out there looking for cheap CD Keys, I have run across countless pieces of information indicating the DIRECTGAMEKEYS.com is a fraudulent website.

What first tipped me off was a few of our clan members purchased keys there and they immediately had the same issues with the key not working.

Looking a little further, I noticed that their website's images are hosted at imageshack.us (no reputable website would host their banner images at a free hosting site). I also found that he was trying to sell the BETA keys for $8.00US, even though the BETA was provided FREE OF CHARGE! He also blocks all comments / reviews that are negative (which would be all of the legitimate ones... if he was really doing the sales he claims, he'd have tons of positive reviews, but the only one's he has are the one's he himself created.

Also, the language on their website was very poor, obviously written by someone foreign that doesn't know English well, with a multitude of grammatical and spelling mistakes.

To top it all off, digging around in Google, every piece of information I found was about other users getting keys that just don't work. Over and Over and Over this was the case. Also, he used to use PayPal for payments, but after enough complaints PayPal must have shut him off. Now he's using Google Checkout instead. I am on my way to filing a Fraud report with Google now. The first cases I've found of this site even existing are less than 4 months old, yet he claims to have sold millions of license keys.

There is not a single LEGITIMATE positive review for this website (the ones you find out there are OBVIOUSLY written by the same scammer that built the website... same sort of grammatical errors and such, and when he goes to websites (like ours) that have negative comments, all he can say is "no, that's not true" with no real explanation or information to prove he's legit.

In a nutshell, avoid this place like the plague!!
