I heard about this site on the news and thought I would check it out. They were offering 100 free bids for a short time. Not having been to the site, thought this would give me a chance to try it before I had to buy more bids.
When I signed up, I put in the code for the free bids and then had to give credit card information, which I understood because if you win a bid, they want to know you will pay.
Unfortunately, I never got a chance to do anything else as I saw an email from the company stating: Welcome! We have charged your credit card for $149.75! I was outraged. Under no circumstances would I have ever joined this site if I had understood this.
I instantly replied back and told them that I could not afford that and in no way agreed to this charge. They emailed me back within 24 hours as promised informing me that basically it was too bad for me. It was stated somewhere in their terms and conditions... Not easily understood, might I add.
I have emailed them again and told them I want this removed from my credit card and do not want to be a member of their site. I want it all canceled. I told them that if they wanted to do the right thing by their customers, they would refund the money and cancel my membership.
I also called my credit card company and they said that I have to actually wait until it is on a statement and then they will list them as fraud and get the money back. I hope this helps others.
I should have known better... If it sounds too good to be true, it probably isn't. I am very angry that I got taken by this site and hope I can save others.
