Hi guys I was wondering what I should do?  I recieved The Legend of Zelda the Minish Cap in the mail that I requested and the cartridge is labled white not red.  Also, I noticed that the model number on it is 003 NOT 002 like my other games....the last thing that confirmed it was looking into the actual cartridge on the bottom, there is some sort of gap AND there is no number engraved on the sticker....what should I do/how should I report this?  Will Goozex reinburse me because I got a fake game? Thanks for the help

Contact feedback@goozex.com and help@goozex.com . They will be able to help you if it is indeed pirated. I'm sure someone here on the forums can also advise on how exactly to identify pirated games, as well.

Obviously, do as instructed by taintedzodiac...but I'd be interested in looking at some pics/scans.  Care to post.

You would need to upload them to a site such as imageshack or photobucket. After that, click on the insert picture icon to the left of the yellow smiley face. And you should be able to copy and paste the url into appropriate box. Hope the mods can help you sort out your gba game situation.

Ok here are some pics I took with my phone:

The label should be red, this is the fakeone I got from the other goozex user:

 

 Here's the real version I found online:

 

 Here's what the real authentic cartridge looks like inside:

 

 Here's the version I recieved.  Notice how there's a gap in the middle... 

 

 

Also, as I said earlier, there's no official imprinted number on the front of the cartridge that's on all real carts.  Unfortunately my phone can't take a good pic.

Good spot! I did a little digging and found this page:

Fake Copies of Minish Cap circulating on eBay

Make sure to notify Goozex via email and reference this thread. I wouldn't be leaving any feedback until you get an official response from Goozex. This kind of "high quality" pirated copy is not always known to be a fake by the seller. It may not have been his intention to scam you.

 Yeah, I havn't left feedback yet and I think it is possible that the seller doesn't know it's fake.  Hopefully goozex will be able to resolve this and thanks for the link to that website.  The game does indeed look authentic and I can see how the other person might have not noticed...I'll wait for a response from goozex help and thanks all of you for your help.

Yea, pirated GBA games suck. I think I had that happened to me before, but I was able to get a refund from the seller on eBay. Good luck with your situation.

.....Well that has to suck. Question- Did you get a refund or do you still have it???

Yeah I contacted Goozex a while back and they told me to send the game back to them to "investigate".  Goozex was really cool about the situation though.  I think they immediately refunded me back my points, and I ended up getting a legit copy of the game from another user =).
