After finding this bid Co and realising you can bid free for the first few days, I decided to purchase 175 bids for the cost of £27.50.
The very first bid I made was for £100 which I supposedly won.
I contacted them on the site and asked why I could not transfer the money, they stated that the won money can only be used for bidding, which in turn was created an amounted to approximately 300 bids on my account.
I bided up to approximately 60 bids left, at which time, although won a couple of bids, at the 1 second left, which took up to 3 seconds when another bid beat mine, I realised that there must be automated Admin bids, to enable the item not to be sold, that’s if the item actually exists in the first place (fraud perhaps) as each item must make thousands of £’s, by not allowing the winning bid to win?
On the 23rd I checked my online banking and saw that £1. £1, and then £58.98 was taken out of my account by ziinga.
I immediately contacted my bank to cancel my card, but could do nothing else until Monday.
On Monday 26th after speaking with my bank, they in turn spoke to someone at this scamming Co, who stated that on this occasion they would reimburse the monies, but they would not discuss anything with the bank as its between them and those who signed up to bid.
I spoke with them and they said as I finished my contract with them early, they will charge even more monies.
Yes you have heard it right, once you register with them to bid, you are on a contract for at least 3 months???
I will also point out I was only with them, for 5 days and then, de registered with them.
Apparently they have NO record of myself coming off their register within the free one week?
OK so you cancel your bank card for a new one, will that stop them from trying to draw money from your account?
NO they have ways of finding your new bank card, and they can still get monies from your account.
Right you can put into place a ”permanent facility” which monitors your account, and if such monies are taken by them (or IMO ‘a Company or criminals within the law bunch of twats’) at least the bank will refund you.
Now; the best way would obviously be to open a new bank account with a different bank, even in a different town.
If then they try, they could be committing a criminal offence. Job Done;
On another note, how many people on a worldwide scale have been taken in, and are still being taken in, by these scammers?
