I finally found a site that lists multiple complaints of fraud against XBids.com for stealing money.
This is one of the many letters sent to them explaining the fraud:
To: xBids.com
Sent: Monday, January 3 1:31 AM
Subject: Att. ADMINISTRATION - URGENT
To Whom it May Concern: I was informed by a reputable tv news cast that if I entered a promo code at your web site that I could try out your auction site free of charge & receive 20 free bids.
I entered the code along with my name and on the next page I was instructed to scroll down to the bottom and fill out my address and debit card. I left the debit info blank but it would not proceed & stated that the info was "mandatory & only used for purchasing future wins ". Then underneath it said - Push this button to proceed to the auction page with promo bids. To my horror another page appeared instead and said, "CONGRATULATIONS" You have just purchased 75 points and your total cost is $75.00 dollars. I panicked because that was all the money we had for Dec. For everything. I tried over & over to cancel it including e-mailing but you never responded.
I called my bank and the money was gone in 5 minutes! I called the investigation unit of my bank
and they said that their new policy dictated that I had to deal directly with XBids.
On Christmas morning we woke to no tree, no gifts, & no dinner. You stole our humble XMas.
It is people like you that make it difficult to convince my child to forgive & that a wrong can be righted by communicating clearly. I don't know how you sleep at night.
