I was invited to this site through an email invitation and given a few bids to try out the site. After winning a bid for a restaurant.com $50 gift card for the amount of 2.99, I was taken to a payment screen to pay for the win. After the transaction, the final screen had removed $82.00 from my credit card without my acknowledgement. I then waited over one month for the gift card, and did not receive it. After more than 3 attempts with chat people, calling customer service, and writing to them personally, I was lied to about them sending the gift card via email and then they said they sent it out via regular US postal service. I was even disconnected on the telephone while speaking with CS.
I contacted the BBB and they tried to resolve this complaint. After 5 BBB contacts over a period of time, the company stated they had refunded my funds, although this was a big lie.
I am now in the process of a taking legal action against this company as well as making the general public aware of this scam site through television news to keep other people from getting ripped off.
