Thread: Gift Box Scam

  1. #1

    Default Gift Box Scam

    I recently spent money on this game hoping I would receive the medium and senior medal box's under the gift icon. After contacting the through the contact us icon I received an auto reply that didn't list steps to resolve my issue. I then replied further explaining my issue with having met the requirements of the Box's and yet no access to them. Here are screen shots of the requirements.

    This is for the medium box

    This is for Senior box

    As you can see there is no "date" do by date listed as there is in the Junior box which states a play must login by 6th may. see below:

    so even though the only requirement is that you spend X number dollars this was a response i finally received from them:

    Hi,

    Thanks for your letter. We are sorry to inform you that the medal box gift is awarded to

    those who made theire payment before May 5th. We apologize for not being clearly stated in

    our testimony.

    Best Regards.
    Evony Customer Service

    To which my response was this:

    The only Box that list any date requirement is the Junior Medal Box stating that a player must login before 6th may. To not clearly state the terms of the requirements I was falsely mislead to believe I would receive something I would not. This could constitute False Advertisement as I would not have spent nearly that amount of money otherwise. Hope to hear back. Thank you for you time and hopefully for your understanding.

    Sincerely,
    Raymond Gentzel

    Sorry for being long winded, but I guess I want to know if i am wrong here? There is concern that they may not like my approach and decide to ban me for it so I wanted to make everyone aware prior to that possibly happening. Thank you all in advance for your assistance.

    they claim may 6th, which is why I took the screen shots of all three package in question. They state in the junior package that you had to login by may 6th. But the other two packages have no dates listed as requirements which is why I spent the money with the expectation that I would receive them.

    Pretty sure before May 6 it said this (no need to afterwards)
    If something seems too good to be true, you're supposed to shoot it just in case.

    They sent out a promotional mail like they are doing now and explain how to claim them. Why are they still up there I do not know

    If the package is still shown as possible to receive then it needs to have requirement date or state that it has expired. It doe not do either of those things. Therefore misleading people to believe they can still get them for the listed requirement.

    False advertising or deceptive advertising is the use of false or misleading statements in advertising. As advertising has the potential to persuade people into commercial transactions that they might otherwise avoid

    that is the definition of false advertising if you want to know =)

    by leaving the date out that is a form of false advertising

    There actually was a date limit on those boxes up until a week or so ago. I'm not sure why they took the date part out, but left the box offer up, though I have a pretty strong suspicion.
