Gamepal.com advertises that they are solely based in the USA. This is untrue. As a former employee of the company, I was asked to help oversee customer service in their office in the Philippines. I agreed on the condition a contract be written up and some other normal oversea travel details be taken care of.
After my arrival, I was never paid on time (sometimes up to a month late.) The Filipino employees were treated like dirt and after a miscalculation in profit margins, over half of them were simply fired illegally by the COO and CFO, Eric Smith.
During my stay, I never received the promised contract, and when the CFO finally fled the country because the Filipino workers were filing a labor suit, I was left stranded. The company had been paying my rent as part of our deal, and they bounced two months on me without notice, which I was required to pay back. They refused to fly me home, and when I finally had the opportunity to return, I was almost thrown in Filipino prison.
Why? Well, it turns out the CFO had kept me there on a tourist visa, even though I was told time and again that I was legal. So I had to pay back taxes to the PI government before I could fly home. The CEO, AJ Robey, promised to reimburse me, and I have never heard from any of them again.
As a side note, all those major mmorpg service sites like ige.com, gamepal.com, gamerking.com, etc. Are affiliated with each other. Gamepal's customer service was bought by IGE and remains in Manila.
