want to cancel
I signed up for a 6 month subscription and it has been much longer than that, although the charges are still showing up on my card. I want it cancelled and credited ASAP.

key registration
I bought a game, text twist, 6 or 7 yrs ago, and was trying to put my registration key in, on a new computer, which didn't work. I copied and pasted the exact information they gave me 5 yrs ago and still didn't work I have contacted Oberon several times and they keep saying they can't help me, they have no listing of my purchase...even when I sent proof of...

For everyone that has been taken by Oberon. I am in the process of filing a complaint with the New York City Department of Consumer Affairs against Oberon Media, Inc. I too have been ripped off by this company for over $47.00 and I just want my money back.
I will gather all of these complaints from this site and from others for evidence and if anyone would like to add something else such as the amount stolen, etc., please just let me know.
The information for Oberon Media, Inc is: Oberon Media, Inc. (Corporate Office) New York, One World Financial Center, 27th Floor, New York, NY 10281

If you call, you will probably get a recording, if you do, dial zero for the operator and demand to speak to someone in charge, i.e. the president, vice president, etc.. Don't let them send you to customer service because that is who your problem is with.
If they refuse to help, let them know that a complaint will be filed with the NYC Department of Consumer Affairs and then do it.
Even though these dollar amounts are not big, it is the principle and we the people need to start sending a message to these big companies. If the Department of Consumer Affairs receive enough complaints, then this company could be shut down. If we tie up the companies phone lines with complaints, maybe they will respond in kind.

I keep being charged monthly6.95 US, very difficult to cancel, it's robbery, I want my money back, how do I go about it

Same complaint as others. Not only can't I download free games "Processing error", they charge for games not ordered or received. When the class action lawsuit gets started I want in. If anyone knows how to harass MSN for backing this scam, I'd appreciate the information.
I also have been ripped off by this company. $41.94 so far. They tell me to purchase a game at full price, then they will refund my $6.95 monthly fees. Well, I did that, now they refuse to refund. So I have been now charged $41.94 monthly fees (still occuring) and $19.99 for a game download. Something needs done about this company!
i have been having problems with this companys wedsite for the past 6 months they will not let me cancel my account.. i am fed up with them i also just want my money back.. please let me know how i can help or how an if you can help me
I am in the same boat as everyone else they charge for games and either dont let you unlock them or download them either. I just want a refund.
Not only have they been taking 9.95 out of my account AND by the way, I did this through Yahoo, someone there used my password and got into my Paypal account through Ebay.
The only 2 places I have used the same password. (Yahoo and Paypal) It is a GBP conversion in regards to money.
I never signed up for a membership and can't get them to stop since they "don't recognize" me.
I called yahoo and I believe that they are a part of Oberon due to the fact that the cust service guy told me that I have to deal with them even though he knew the whole story.
now I do not trust Yahoo as well.
Doesn't work
I recieved my CD with Super Text Twist with the Product key on the front of the CD. I installed it on my computer and when it ask for the product key I input the code just as it was on the CD. It rejected the product key! I paid my money and got nothing for it. Thanks alot Oberon!

Scam
I recently purchased a game online through this company . I was billed but the registration code given to activate the game doesn't work. I was confirmed by email that I was billed for the purchase.Ive tried to replying to the company, they responded saying basically nothing just give it 24 hours . I did this still nothing. I dont even have a number to call to try to discuss this situation. Ive read online that Im not along in this, many others are having the same problem and say its a rip off and a scam.

Unable to cancel
I am being charged for a memebership to a game site. I thought I cancelled this months ago. When I go onto their website, it says I have to sign into my account - but I have to account info (never did) and there is no link. Where is my credit card number stored? I can't even access the payment info to change it.

Having problems cancelling your Oberon/Yahoo game subscription because they are all eager to take your money but don't allow you any easy way to cancel? I emailed Yahoo and was told it was an Oberon issue. I emailed Oberon through their contact sites 4 times with not one response. Finally after being billed in excess of what I agree to do and about 2 weeks of searching, I found out how to do this. I am so pissed at the company, I am sharing it. I understand that this info has been posted on other web sites and then removed by Yahoo. Who cares, here it is:
I also had problems here is how to cancel..
Once you are logged in:
1. Go to Yahoo! Games
2. Click on the "More Info/Buy now" link of any downloadable game
3. Click on the "Buy Full Version" link
4. Please click on the Y! Games subscription FAQ to access the cancel link.
The complaint has been investigated and resolved to the customer’s satisfaction.
Thank you SO much for posting the cancellation steps. I've been looking for about an hour now on the yahoo site for a way to cancel my membership and I was just furious that I couldn't find anything in yahoo help. I did a search and I found a couple of postings on yahoo from people asking how to cancel their membership, but when I followed the link all of those posts were deleted. Sketchy!
It is time YAHOO stopped its association wtih Oberon.
It is time Yahoo sets up a
1. Games Purchase Complaints Board In Yahoo Games Page .
2. Recieve all complaints
3. Resolve them immediately
4. Write to all those who bought a game in the last one year and seek if there are any complaints. Resolve them too.
FINALLY dissociate from Oberon
I can not beleive that they do business like this. I wish i would of came across your comments sooner. I was just trying to cancel membership and you were the only one with the helpful answer. They still took $80. from my credit card. I emailed them because i get an error message from cancelling membership link. They just make it as hard as possible just so that they can run with your money. DO NOT DO BUSINESS WITH THESE PEOPLE!
Thank you so much for posting this! I had the same problem. I can't believe Yahoo would associate themselves with such sketchy practices. Also, for those of you who don't know, you'll get charged an international point of sale fee by your bank for using Oberon, as the transaction is placed in Cyprus. SKETCHY!
Cancelling Membership
I paid for a membership to MSN games thru Oberon-Media so that I could purchase games for $9.95. My agreement was for 2 months after which time I could cancel. I have purchased my 2 games and have sent a cancellation notice for 3 months with no response from the company. I have been charged for 3 months worth of games that I have never downloaded and my credit card company has removed the charges because I am contesting the charges. If I can ever get this issue resolved I will tell everyone I know never to purchase any games from this company. I sure do not know why MSN would ever be working with Oberon-Media. If anyone has an address or phone# or any ideas as to how to get in contact with these people, please let me know.
The complaint has been investigated and resolved to the customer’s satisfaction.
I have just realized my 2 month subscription to this oberon mob have been going on for 2 1/2 years & I'm not happy Jan! & I cannot get to them to cancel it.
I too have had great difficulty trying to download my free games that charges on my credit card show. I signed up for 6 months @$6.95 and they still keep charging me every month. Emails from Oberon Media say I can download my free game by going to MSN downloads. No luck with that either. Some games I have already purchased have issues that have not been resolved by them. ie. the games do not work after a certain point has been reached. There is no solution to this problem even after contacting them. Leslie Leeds, Collingwood On.
I also ended up with a subscription that I DID NOT SIGN UP FOR and got charged for. This is the most fraudulant company I have ever done business with and does need investigating. they are targeting children with this fraud. The thing that worked for me was to contact my bank and have the charges reversed and let the bank know that this was a fraudulant charge. If enough people complain to their banks the word will get out that this company is stealing from their customers. good luck and don't do business with this horrible, slimey company.
I have also tried to cancel my membership but every time I go to login or contact us the page says navigation cancelled or it asks me to refresh the page. This company is corrupt and needs investigating!
I would also like to cancell my membership but Oberon doen not inform you what you need to do to cancell or to whom you should contact.
Cancellation problems
I was on Best BUY web site and was offered a chance to buy reduced games. I started to enroll and I changed my mind before ordering the game. I called BEST BUY and they told me they didn't have an order for me and I would not be charged for the membership. Then I got my credit card bill I had charges from this company Gamesaver Subscription (MSN/Oberon). Best buy said they didn't have anything to do with the charge and could not help me. They gave me another number to call and it was Game stop. They said it wasn't them. I called my credit card to stop charges and they said I had to cancel, before they could help. If you try to get help from Gamesaver they have not phone number or anyway to contact them.

report them to the credit card company or report your card stolen and they will give you a new one. These people are thieves straight out. Jackie
I have also been scamed my bank account being charged monthly my reccommendation is that those affected close that account and open new account with different number remmember to reset any direct debits you may have had with reputible businesses ie: power, rent.
Ya people. I have the same problem.. so how did u actually get rith of it? Dont wanna pay to something i dont get
I found out how to do it! Unfortuntely after i went to my credit card company and had them file a dispute and change my account number, but hopefully someone else will see this!
Go to a yahoo game and click the 'buy-now' button. Don't worry, you wont actually buy the game. Sign in using your yahoo ID and then instead of clicking 'redeem free' click on 'my account' at the bottom is a cancellation link!
Unfortunately you only have 4 days to cancel the subscription before they start charging and if you signed up for the 12 month subscription then you either have to buy out or let them keep charging for the full 12 months.
Tried that link didn't work. So I just cancelled my credit card, that should fix them. I did everything else to try to stop the subscription and couldn't do it. So I recommend to anyone else just cancel your card and get a new one, that was the advice from the rep I talked to at the credit card company. Takes about a week to get a new card, but it worth it. She also said to lodge a complaint with the BBB which I'm doing next. Good luck to anyone else that has this problem.

I would like to know how can I reimburse? Who is responsible for this transaction? I need for this to stop coming out of my account every month, because I don't even know who order this, because I didn't.

Unfortunately I registered with Incredigames which also uses Oberon Media, so I get charged twice a month as I also bought games from Big Fish Games and WildGames. Big Fish and Wild charge for credits or whatever to buy the game, and then I notice that I also get money taken out again for the game itself. I tried sending an e-mail to Wild Games, and got a reply saying that it was only an automated e-mail address and was not monitored. I have no idea how to contact either Wild or Big Fish. I have cancelled my subscription with Incredigames as I was continually unable to sign-in. It seems all these game sites are full of idiots who cannot answer enquiries or complaints. If anyone can give me an address or site to go to to remedy the situation I would be most grateful, and I will most certainly be telling other people not to buy any games.
Holy ###, what have I let myself in for? I seem to get charged twice for games through this service, once to buy the credits, and then once to buy the game. This month I have been charged over $30 instead of the usual $7 or so. Has anyone been able to find a way out?
bogus registration keys
During Pogo.com's downloadable game weekend sale, I purchased 2 Oberon-media games but when I received the registration keys they did not work. Submitted inquiry to oberon-media support but have not received a reply other than an automated statement saying my inquiry was received and I would be contacted within 48 hours. 48 hours are up, no response. I guess I will have to contact my bank and have payments denied.
Read full review of Oberon Media and 29 commentsUnauthorized/Unannounced Fees
I purchased a 12-month subscription at $6.95/mo, so with tax the total was $7.30. I noticed along with this am0unt on my statement, there was a $0.06 charge for International Transfer Fee. I wrote them about it and they said that the fee was because their payment center is in Cyprus. They did not tell me about this or that there would be an additional fee. Also, I paid in US dollars, so there should be no fee. Oberon should be responsible for this fee since they opted to ship jobs overseas. I have filed a complaint with the FTC as well.

This is funny, filing a complaint about the scamers with the scamers
rip off
oberon media would be the most ignorant and in efficient company that I have ever dealt with. I have been trying for weeks to get the issue of a double billing resolved. One minute there is no record of it the next is pick a new game and we will send you the reg no for another game. I have done that so many times back and forth I am sick of it. They can keep the bloody money if they are that desperate. I went to cancel my game saver ans suddenly I don't exist in there records even though I have bought a lot of games from them. Looks like I have to cancel my credit card. Bunch of crooks. My advice DO NOT DEAL WITH THEM. Get spintop games. redgypysy
The complaint has been investigated and resolved to the customer’s satisfaction.
Please lodge a complaint with the Federal Trade Comission @ www.FTC.Gov. This is a huge agency but the more complaints they receive, the faster they will make an effort to stop this. I have been to site after site of people having the same issue we are and it just isn't fair. You may also want to contact your local TV consumer reporters. They love this kind of story especially when the economy is as screwy as it is and they can usually get results quickly. Good luck and don't give up. That is what they are hoping for. Why make millionares out of scam artists.
How annoying, I have only just realised that this company have been deducting money from my account for months now. I don't even remember using this game site and cannot log in to their site, and they conveniently have no good way to contact them or log a complaint on thei website. How can they get away with this?
I too have a big problem. I ordered Scrabble Blast but the registration number they gave me to access the game was wrong and have not been able to contact anyone. I tried the [protected] but it's not in service. The 646 area code number gave me some options. Will try that before I call the BBB.
Here are numbers ive got searching for them. I hope this will help. Im here cause im also having issues with a game i brought lastnite. No Key was sent to my email

Can someone, anyone, tell me how to cancel games through Oberon? What a nightmare. Does anyone know where they are located? E-mailed them, no response. DON't use this company.
I had downloaded a free trial of Dream Day first home and decided I liked it and ordered the cd. When I ordered the game they let me download the full version untill the cd was mailed. Anyway by the time the cd was delivered, I beat the game and did not mess with the cd. Well a year later I had deleted the game from my computer and wanted to reinstall and play. Well everytime I try to install the game the stupid thing tries to give me a trojan Win 32 virus! It does not make any sense to me. I think that the cd is defective! After I delete the virus I still can't play the game because it is missing some shortcut! I will never by another game from them!
I was mislead to believe I was purchasing a CD game which I never received! Now not only did I discover that Oberon has been charging my credit card a monthly $6.95 charge for the last six months, but they are refusing to discontinue the charges! This is not over Oberon! BlueLady
Yes, I am going through the same thing. Their so-called Membership is a scam and I have just finally received a reply that along with my $7.95 monthly game purchase, I am also charged an additional $7.95 monthly membership fee which they have been scamming me every month. They are hoping that people do not check their credit card statements for such a low amount but I do. Now I am owed 2 games and I can no longer get into my account. I have also noticed that most games eventually end up being Oberon. I'm going to write the headquarters in NYC. IT'S AN ABSOLUTE RIP-OFF!
I have been trying for 2 days to find a way of cancelling games subscriptions (I have fulfilled my original commitments) which I subscribed through Yahoo Games and MSN Games. There is absolutely no information on how to unsubscribe. It is disgusting and is a bad indictment on the reputations of both MSN and Yahoo, not to mention Oberon Media (disguised as GameSaver Subscription Internet CYP). I have resorted to lodging a dispute with my Credit Card provider. Don't get sucked in to these special deals unless you want to pay forever!
cannot get games bought
I purchased 2 games from Oberon Media when I lived in another state. After moving, I had to get another computer, my email also changed. I was not able to download the games to my new computer, using the key code previously received.
When I contacted the company through email with the exact specifics, I only got the reply your email address does not match our records. They never read the entire email with my confirmation codes and purchase receipt attached.
If you ever purchase from them, get the disk, the download only may leave you as me; paid for games, but no games to play!
I will never purchase from them again as their customer service is non existent.
The complaint has been investigated and resolved to the customer’s satisfaction.
I GOT PI NY AND I CAN'T PLAY I NAVE THAT BIG BROWN BOX WITH WORD LOADING AND I CAN'T DUE NOTHING ABOUT LAST WEEK I ASK FOR HELP AND NOTHING, FIX MY GAME THAT I PAY FOR IT OR GIVE ME BACK MY $$$$$ MONIKA
I purchased Agatha Christie Mystery pack and had computer trouble at the time, a few days later, I'm trying to download it and they tell me I already downloaded...try to reach them to get my game, no luck! Now after reading all this complaints I'm wondering if I ever going to get my game...how about the next month...
I have been trying to get my two free games for almost six weeks. Dead end after dead end. I have emailed Oberon Media; I have emailed MSN. No help. They tell you that you must contact them by email. They will not provide a telephone number. So I am stuck with a monthly charge and no games. DO NOT SIGN UP FOR THE MONTHLY GAMES ON MSN GAMES PAGE.
game registration
I recently tried to purchase the game Text Twist online with my credit card. I recieved an error that I needed approval. I e-mailed asking what the problem was and several weeks later, recieved the response that I should try again using a different credit card - although the one I used was perfectly ok. It seems that their payment provider is in Cyprus and some of our banks won't do business with them? Is this a red flag or what. I informed them that I will forgo Text Twist, which I really love, until they get a payment provider here in the US and help out the economy and provide some jobs rather then outsourcing to Cyprus. Til then I am boycotting Oberon and think others should too.
The complaint has been investigated and resolved to the customer’s satisfaction.

i purched game fabulous finds in january and have not been able to play it i tryed to reinstall still no luck it appears to be locked can someone help me
Charged for CD but not delivered
Apparently I'm not alone based on the complaints I found on the Internet. It's very simple, on May 20, 2008, I purchased a CD of the Oberon Media game called "Big City Adventure-San Francisco. I was charged but it has never been delivered. I have emailed their customer service many times, with responses of all false promises such as "we're having problems with our CDs..." or someone will get back to you within 12 days. They don't even respond to my emails anymore.
Thanks for listening.
Vicki
I PURCHASED 2 DIFFERENT GAMES FROM 2 DIFFERENT STORES ONE GAME IS DREAM DAY DUO WITH DREAM DAY WEDDING AND DREAM DAY HONEYMOON. THE OTHER GAME IS WOMEN'S MURDER CLUB. THEY BOTH DO THE SAME THING AFTER I INSTALL THEM AND CLICK FINISH IT GOES TO THE WORD PAD AND THAT'S ALL I CAN GET. I HAVE SENT SEVERAL E-MAILS TO THEIR SUPPORT ADDRESS AND SOMETIMES I GET A RESPONSE AND SOMETIMES I DON'T . THEY ASK FOR THE SAME INFORMATION THAT I HAVE SENT THEM SEVERAL TIMES. NOW THEY WANT ME TO MAIL THE GAME S TO THEM SO THEY CAN SEND ME THE KEY #. I'M NOT REALLY SURE IF I SHOULD DO THIS, BECAUSE THEY WILL HAVE MY GAMES AND I'LL END UP WITH NOTHING.
purchasing games issues
I attempted to purchase a game from the MSN site (which is handled by Oberon-Media) and received an error page as soon as my credit card info was entered that advised me not to reorder as same error would appear and that I needed to contact support to complete the order and a link was provided to support. The link did not work. I tried 3 times and nothing...
Read full review of Oberon Media and 19 commentsBilling
I purchased 6 games from MSN games online who apparently has paired with Oberon Media. I was billed incorrectly and overcharged on 5 of the games. The only way to contact these people is through their online support email which of course conveniently avoids billing issues. I have emailed repeatedly and only get responses telling me how to install and play the games. I called MSN and they gave me a phone number which I called. It's of course a recording telling me to email if there is a problem. I have no other way of contacting Oberon and in the meantime I still have these overcharges that I need credited. What can I do?
Purchased online game that will not down load on my computer and have been unable to contact company to obtain refund on my american express card
Hi, I'm in the UK and finding it impossible to cancel my MSN Games discount subscription as the routes Oberon, Iplay and MSN offer are either not actually there at all or simply lead to a 404 error message. Messages and emails produce no response or cannot be delivered. I feel I must go to UK Trading Standards (Government Department for consumer protection) as these businesses appear to be operating in a very devious and unprincipled manner.
I purchased ONE Online game from Oberon Media and was billed THREE times. I CLEARLY requested that the company refund the cost of the two additional charges, but they responded that I could pick out two more games. This is clearly a scam.
When you go to cancel your membership, their website claims that they are going to automatically bill the difference that you owe for your 12 month contract. You have no recourse and are unable to get out of this scam without being billed each month.
After reading the complaints board, it's clear that Oberon Media is scamming a lot of people and should be shut down.
I signed up for 6 games in 6 months for a game of my choice, & when I tried to get my second game it gave me a completely different game. This company sucks.
I have been billed for over a year for an account that I can not access to either discontinue or download from. The phone number associated with the account on my bank bill does not reply to calls. I've contacted msn repeatedly and never received even an acknowledgement of the contact. They want my account information and since they deleted the account without my knowledge, yet still bill me every month, I can not give them it. Now I'm complaining about oberon since that is apparently partnered with msn. I am at the point where I may start tweeting and blogging about it to warn people not to ever buy the msn game accounts 'deals'. And all of this started because my father died and I took a break from internet games so my account was inactive for a while. How is it ok to delete an account that someone is paying for? Ever? Even if they do not use it.
Why does Oberon Game Manager stop in the middle of downloading the free 1 hour game trail on a Windows 7 Professional?
I hope these peaple are exposed to the better business bureau, the department for consumer affairs,

Please cancel my subscription!
I sent 7 emails to Oberon in order to ask about an installation problem. All I get are computer generated emails telling me I will hear from them in 48 hours. It has now been 10 days! I sent an email to cancel my account due to LACK OF SERVICE. i got an email saying my account is cancelled.. I WILL NOT TAKE CHANCES! I have contacted my bank and they will DENY any further charges from this DISHONEST, LACK OF SERVICE WASTE OF MONEY COMPANY.. As Clark Howard says, They are experts at CUSTOMER NO-SERVICE!
I
have 5 charges for games i did not order. if you people charge my bank for one more game i will have a lawyer contact you. i tried to buy one game and it did not work. i let you no what was going on and you still charge, i am very upset that you people do these things when everyone has to pinch every penny. i want to cancel may account as of right now and i expect a refund for the money you took and was not suppose too. if you take any more i will find away to get my refund. same on you if anyone ask me about you i will tell them how bad you are and how you rip people off.this is nothing but a scam and there are conquences for doing that.
Bad service
After the sale service. I have e-mailed 2 times and called once, as of this date i have received nothing but a computer generated message that my e-mail has been received. I would be careful of any game purchase from oberon.
The complaint has been investigated and resolved to the customer’s satisfaction.
My monthly fee is $9.99. I was just charged $14.99. Please either correct or explain this for me.
Thank you,
Allan Blizzard
I TOO BOUGHT A GAME FROM POGO AND IT WONT LET ME PLAY IT SAYS I NEED FLASHPLAYER 8 OR HIGHER, I HAVE FLASHPLAYER 10! AFTER 4 EMAILS FROM OBERON WITH NO HELP AND IGNORING MY REQUESTS FOR A PHONE #, I HAVE CALLED AND STILL WAITING. IVE ASKED THAT THEY EITHER SEND ME A CD OF THE GAME OR CREDIT MY CARD, BUT THEY IGNORE THIS AND WONT EVEN RESPOND ANYMORE. THIS IS POOR CUS. SUPPORT. IVE BEEN A MEMBER OF POGO ABOUT 3 YEARS BUT I WILL BE CANCELING MY MEMBERSHIP. THIS IS THE 2ND TIME THIS HAS HAPPENED TO ME WITH THIS COMPANY, THEY DID SEND ME A CD FOR THE FIRST GAME 2 YEARS AGO.
I HAD THE SAME PROBLEM. I TRIED TO DOWNLOAD A GAME FROM THEM AND INSTEAD OF THE DOWN LOAD, AFTER GIVING ALL THE INFORMATION INCLUDING MY CREDIT CARD #, ALL I GOT WAS AN ERROR MESSAGE THAT READ, 'THERE WAS AN ERROR. PLEASE TRY
AGAIN.' SO I DID, AND GOT THE SAME ERROR MESSAGE.
A FEW DAYS LATER I SAW (2)TWO CHARGES OF $19.99 ON MY STATEMENT. AFTER TRYING TO CONTACT THEM AND YAHOO GAMES SEVERAL TIMES WITH NO RESPONSE, I DISPUTED THE TWO CHARGES WITH MY CREDIT CARD COMPANY. THEY SAID THEY WOULD DISPUTE IT WITH WHATEVER BANK OBERON MEDIA USES AND THE CHARGES WERE REFUNDED BACK TO MY ACCOUNT.
NEEDLESS TO SAY, I WON'T BE DOING BUSINESS WITH THIS COMPANY EVER AGAIN.
NO GO WITH THE PHONE NUMBER. YOU WILL GET NO WHERE WITH THE COMPANY. THE ONLY WAY I WAS ABLE TO GET MY CORRECT REGISTRATION KEY WAS TO SEND A COMPLAINT TO POGO THEMSELVES. THAT WORKED. I BASICALLY TOLD THEM WHAT WAS GOING ON AND THAT THEY NEEDED TO TAKE A CLOSER LOOK AT WHO THEY LET RUN THEIR DOWNLOADS SITE. IT TOOK ABOUT 4 DAYS BUT THEY FINALLY SENT ME AN EMAIL WITH THE CORRECT REGISTRATION KEY IN IT. I WILL NEVER BUY ANOTHER GAME FROM OBERON MEDIA AGAIN. THEY ARE A RIP OFF AND WILL STEAL YOUR MONEY AND THEN GIVE YOU THE RUN AROUND WHEN YOU TRY TO GET WHAT YOU PAID FOR. I WOULD TELL EVERYONE NOT TO BUY FROM THEM AS WELL. IT'S JUST NOT WORTH THE HASSLE.
I AM HAVING THE SAME PROBLEM WITH A GAME THAT I BOUGHT FROM POGO ON THE 17TH. AFTER MANY PHONE CALLS...I MANAGED TO GET WHAT THEY TELL ME IS THE DIRECT NUMBER TO THE CUSTOMER SUPPORT MANAGER. HER NAME IS REBECCA. SHE LEAVES HER OFFICE AT 5 PM...SO IF YOU WANT TO GET IN TOUCH WITH HER..DO IT BEFORE THEN...HERE IS THE NUMBER...[protected]. I HAVE TRIED THE NUMBER AFTER 5 AND GOT HER VOICE MAIL, SO IT SEEMS TO BE LEGIT. I WILL BE TRYING IT AS SOON AS THEY ARE OPEN TOMORROW. KEEPING MY FINGERS CROSSED THAT I ACTUALLY GET MY REGISTRATION KEY. GOOD LUCK TO YOU ALL..HOPE THIS HELPS!
I agree Im going though the same B.S. I order the hells kitchen game lasTnite and the key wasnt sent to my email. I always have a habit of copying and pasting so ive done that on a note pad befor i closed out and downloaded the game. And guess what. Yup It doesnt ...WORK. Says email or Key Reg is WRONG. Im soo upset as many as u are and ive been sending emails and calling. This is the first for me. I have alot of pogo games ive brought and wasnt no problems at all.
I ran into a few more people from pogo site that order games cause they on sale and they are having the same issues. This is so CRAZY.
I am so in the same boat with all the rest of you... I just purchased a game from Oberon and I to do not have a registration key number. I tried the phone number and all I got was voice mail. I'm so upset - I have sent two emails to them and still no responce. If I had of wanted to wait and play the game tomorrow - next week - a year from now thats when I would have bought it...
Its the same story here, purchased the game and couldn't get the registration key to work. There is no one to contact, if your willing to try the phone number be prepared to dedicate some time.
AGREED! BUT I HAVE A SOLUTION FOR YOU ALL ! THIS IS WHAT I DID... I CALLED [protected] AND THEN PRESSED *2 FOR COMPANY DIRECTORY. THEN PRESSED 1 FOR FIRST NAME DIRECTORY AND I ENTERED THE FIRST NAME AS 5646# (JOHN). TRICKY HUH? LOL.. ANYWAY YOU ARE THEN GIVEN 4 NAMES THAT ARE ALL JOHNS. I PUSHED 1AND GOT A VOICEMAIL. I THEN HUNG UP REDIALED AND FOLLOWED THE SAME DIRECTIONS AND I MENTIONED ABOVE AND DID THE SAME THING UNTIL I FINALLY GOT A REAL PERSON TO ANSWER AND NOT A VOICE MAIL. AFTER SPEAKING TO THAT PERSON HE THEN SENT ME TO THE CUSTOMER SUPPORT DIRECTOR AND SHE ANSWERED RIGHT AWAY AND IMMEDIATELY (WHILE I WAS ON THE PHONE WITH HER) SENT ME A REGISTRATION KEY. I HOPE THIS HELPS.
I purchased a game as a gift for my mother, which we did 4 games this weekend, but with this 1 game, I got the confirmation of payment they took my money, but never sent my mother the registration key, I emailed them multiple times, no response, then another email i got a response saying they have no records of my purchase, I emailed them all the information, stated how upset i was, they wrote back saying to pick a game any game, don't purchase it just e-mail them which game and they would send me the registration key, i e-mailed them, and once again i got the same e-mail that they have no records of my purchase! I emailed again every piece of info and again the same email having no records after saying they would send the code.
There service is horrible i have ordered about 10-15 games since 2008 from them for my mother as she has no credit card, and they have the worst costumer service,
i will never use them again and hope others will find a new place to purchase games, don't get robbed like we did!

bought games from Oberon and Iplay cancelled my subscription because I was having problems downloading. fast forward got a new computer tried to download my games and say's I have to buy again, I have about 50 games that I can't download, when I signed up it said the games were mine forever, I went to iplay web site went to my games I have purchased and it only should 7 games, I have all the emails I got from them with activation instruction and keys and when I I click on the download link it takes me from site to site. to site and finally wind up on the oberon Media games and then I have to sign in and can not just download the games I own, so what is up with this, Have emailed them several times and either I don't get a response or just the run around. I think that I am entitled to a refund.
