I then Googled Farmer100.com and found out that they are a scam site.
What they do is accept payments through PayPal and deliver nothing. When the customers put in a PayPal dispute, Farmer100.com then emails the customer and says they'll deliver the account as soon as the dispute is withdrawn.
So then the customers withdraw the dispute and they still receive nothing. And with PayPal, once a dispute is closed it cannot be reopened, no matter what.
And Farmer100.com seem to know this all too well and use PayPal disputes to scam people.
When I read all these customer complaints I got straight onto PayPal and put in a dispute so that the payment wouldn't go through.
Sure enough I received 8 emails over the next few days from Farmer100.com asking me to cancel the dispute so that they could deliver the product.
Each time I emailed back and said no.
Below is a copy of the content of the first email:
Dear Rachel [surname removed],

The emails came from two different email addresses. One address was [email protected] and the other was [email protected]
Below is a copy of another email I received from them:

(the emails are addressed in my daughter's name)
I telephoned PayPal after a few days and said the company was hounding me and asked how long I had to wait. They said that they had emailed Farmer100.com to tell them there was a dispute but they hadn't responded. If they didn't respond within 10 days I could have my money refunded. The refund came through.
Yet still emails kept arriving from Farmer100.com asking me to stop the dispute so that they could deliver the product.
The problem is that Farmer100.com is owned by someone called Wang who lives in China. So they cannot be found (although their address and phone number is available through a WHOIS lookup).
What is obvious to me is that Wang is nothing but a con man and he uses the PayPal dispute system to con people. He knows that most of his customers will be kids who don't realize what a scam site Farmer100.com is until it's too late.
PayPal is a trusted website and the owner of Farmer100.com uses this trust that PayPal have built up to scam people out of money. Without PayPal helping him, he wouldn't get away with it.
But just to help you find out how bad Farmer100.com is, you can read hundreds of complaints about them at the following URLs (and these are just a small sample of what's out there):

http://www.sitejabber.com/reviews/www.farmer100.com
http://www.complaintsboard.com/complaints/farmer100com-c425457.html
There is also an emerging class action lawsuit against this website which you can read at http://www.sueeasy.com/class_action_detail.php?case_id=445.
I think that if this guy has his PayPal account closed, he won't be able to scam people the way he is doing at the moment – and he's been doing it for a long time.
People trust Paypal and feel safe making payments through the website. But Wang, Farmer100.com is abusing this trust and tricking people.
He has nothing to sell and is using the trust people have in PayPal to steal money. He needs to be stopped. He is simply using PayPal to commit fraud.

Not only did they rip my little brother off, the "representative" that I spoke with, needs a f*****g English book, and bi-lingual classes. Nothing but a bunch of tribal mud campers ripping off children for their money.
I have a claim in with Paypal, and I will take it to the fullest extent. And that's only the beginning.
Word of the wise. If you want to keep your money, and DON'T want illiterate tribal monkeys to put their dank ass fingers all over it, DO NOT buy from farmer100.

The website, Farmer100.com is on TRUSTe and I trusted it, but turned out to be a fraud. I bought a gaming account there, and was guaranteed to get it safe and cheap. It's also a 24/7 customer service but I didn't get any customer service within 24 hours. This site should be close down so many other people won't loose their money

I purchased a runescape account from them about 2 weeks ago for $169.00 I got the account 2 days later because they got my email information wrong. Eventually I was able to login and I was happy. Problem came in is when I realized the email was still registered,this is a bad sign because the player could than recover his account.
I tried contacting them through email but they didn't reply,and their chat is rarely ever online. 4 days later their chat is infact up they say they will contact the user "REQUESTING" he confirms the email change. REQUESTING ASKING ARE THE WORDS THEY USED NO BUENO. Day five day six day 7 8 and 9 I checked to see if the chat was online everyday in the afternoon and really early in the morning like 2 am and they're not online.
Since I could not get the registration changed to me of course I didn't play with the account.
Day 15 I try to sign into the account and what happened? The unpredictable the user did infact steal the account back and what do you know the emails no longer work the phone numbers are fake and the chat room is still offline.
Would give 2 stars just because the prices are so good,but who cares when you will just end up losing the account?why does the price matter when you're not buying anything?
DO NOT PURCHASE FROM HERE FIND SOMEONE ELSE WHO AT LEAST HAS
A WORKING CHATLINE.

The farmer100 live chat is very friendly. At first, I buy a 85 level account. However, I could not log in to the game for the password is wrong. Then I told this to Farmer100 live chat. To my surprise, he gave me a 90 level Runescape account which was more expensive than the first one but he didn't charge me for the money. This is rocks! So, I think Farmer100 is a good farmer providing good service.

Please do not review if you are affiliated or have a conflict of interest with this website.well my first order took a few days and i got it from a guy by the name of momer. He provided the username, password, and the bank pin. the site isn't up kept well, but they do deliver. (slowly but surely) They provided me with everything I needed. I am still using this account to date. (I'm actually using it right now heh) There are a lot of bad reviews out there mainly because they don't check the site and/or email very often. (weekly, every 2 weeks, every other week, etc.) DON'T file a complaint on PAYPAL against them too quickly though or you will never get it. Wait till the middle of next week and you might get it. maybe 2 weeks max? I'm not in any rush. it would be better to train a guy right now, stock up the bank, get good armor and wepons and such, then sell it for some profit! (Go to a different site to sell. I wouldn't sell on there. People say its a scam, but they just need patience. I know someone who has bought $1000+ of stuff from there. He says it is very slow delivery but it i cheap and good quality stuff. well I hope this helped everybody a little bit. I will report back when I get the account!
