I was sent to the GrabSwag.com website after responding to a Craigslist add that advertised a $125.00 Nike E-Gift Card. The seller apologized for not returning my e-mail earlier and provided a link GrabSwag.com saying "I just sold mine but I got it from here, here's a tip. Bid 4 seconds before the auction ends" After clicking the link I ended up at GrabSwag.com and was offered 10 free bids - I backed out and was then offered 25 free bids if I signed up. FREE - It asked for name, account name, password than CC info Absolutely NO readme or disclosures so it seemed as if the website would need to charge me per bid after the 25 free ones that were given. After clicking "Next" I received a CHARGE!"CONGRATULATIONS! 25 Free Bids 136 BID STARTER PACKAGE $99.00 CHARGED!" Incredibly deceptive. Being sued by the FTC and different AG's around the country. STAY AWAY FROM GRABSWAG.com IT IS A SCAM!!!
I can only imagine what they would have charged had I accepted their additional "FREE" offer of the "auction advisor" I see others were charged over 300.00 so that may have been the difference.
I found a company who has collected info on them and is putting together a class action - e-mail: [email protected] for details.
This is the e-mail that was received linking me to their site after the seller claimed they did not have their Nike gift card anymore but did buy it here:

Hey,
Sorry for replying so late. I just met someone up and sold it
If your still trying to find one at a discount, i found mine at This Site
They still have the 4th of july promo for 10 free bids and i just signed up and won.
Trick i found was to bid only when counter hits 4 seconds.
Hope i was able to help
Regards,
Lisa
