I recieved a text from www.apple.ca (5053598235) telling my I just won an Apple product, which is odd because I work for Research In Motion so am totally against Apple products so I dont know how they got my number to text. So I decided to check it out and see what I won. I was redirected and instructed to sign up with Ziinga.com to claim my new Apple prize. I then won 250 free bids (which cost me $7) half way through my bidding I realized some of the usernames bidding me up were very weird. For example, 6 different users named pageuser_ (followed by random numbers) and username hashmark_ (random numbers). I know thats not common so I investigated further and discovered these werent real people but auto bidding bots. Ziinga canceled my account (still with $250 remaining credit won there) and emailed me saying I will be billed $90 a month for the next three months. I reported it to my bank, changed my account number and cc number so they were not able to bill me. This site is making MILLIONS of dollars off innocent people everyday and still getting away with it. We are not able to share this info quick enough to stop the unsuspecting, this site needs to be shut down. It is a scam when you are bidding against system automation.
