I was redirected within Craigslist but with additional issues.
I went to their website reviewed it but made the mistake on not researching in advance.
I allowed me to put in my email address, nothing more up front and click continue.
The continue button was also an agreement to the terms and conditions.
Their terms and conditions was also an agreement to purchase a group of bids totaling $99 which was on anther page in hidden fine print which no one reads.
The next screen asked for the mailing address and credit card information so you could bid.
I was wanting to bid on an item so I went ahead and inputted my info, then I decided to research the company. That's when I found out that the company already charged me the money.
I had an email notifying me I had to click on a link to activate the bidding account.
I immediately contacted them and requested a refund because I had not activated the account. They gave me a lot of difficulty, tried offering many things instead of a refund. I simply kept repeating that if they refused to provide the refund and provide a confirmation number that I would simply report them to my bank as fraud because they charged me for an account that was never activated. After three trips back to his supervisor he finally gave me a full refund with a confirmation number.
