Elvis was probably thinking of people that run this type of operation when he wrote "Don't be cruel to a heart that's true". They lead you on in promise of something you desire and at the last moment, they kick it down the road just out of reach. Over and over again till your broke or you overpaid. This reminds me of a radio contest they had down in San Diego at Belmont Park in the early 90's. They had a contest that 10 people who got to the finals get to ride the roller coaster there all day until one is left. The last person to get off would win a new car. This contest went on for days until there were only 2 people hell bent on making it to the end. That's when they modified the rules so that when they were finished at the end of the night they had to sleep in the seats of the coaster. The 2 poor souls were only allowed to eat tuna melt sandwiches and drink warm mountain dew. I believe they did this for several weeks until they felt so sorry for the two folks that they each got cars. That station never did that contest again! That would be the only difference between this website and the radio station, the website would of let them keep on going until one of them died. I know my opinion is very subjective but that is the way I strongly feel about these type of sites preying on desperate people trying to get a good deal.

I believed it was not a scam so I purchased $100 worth of bids only to lose every time. That would have been fine had I been able to purchase other items with the rewards dollars I earned, but the web site closed before I could purchase anything at their trunk show. I emailed them to find out if new items would be coming to the trunk show since I wasn't thrilled with the options and they told me more would be coming very soon. Next thing I knew the website was shut down. Not happy.

Oohilove has quit answering emails, stopped shipping merchandise, and stopped emailing out virtual gift cards. Real bad news. On March 26th they posted on their Blog "The End Of Oohilove" and then promptly took it down. All this in just the last 20 days. Looks like something is up at Oohilove...

This site had the opportunity to be brilliant.

Instead it is a royal scam.

How dare you allow bidding to occur in such an unprofessional manner that would put the gambling industry to shame.

Anyone with half a brain can translate 1 penny to one dollar and see that everything is 10 fold the cost. There must be a consumer watch group that will find out about this and shut you down as quickly as you scammed people.

This is perhaps the biggest bull$#*! site i have every been on. Refer a friend? Not on your lame website, or life.

I'm a school teacher who would love an LV bag but can obviously not afford one on my salary thus, I became almost giddy when I saw this site. I now feel stupid, stupid, stupid! In retrospect, I think even my students would not have fallen for this SCAM. What was I thinking?! I had been in Vegas a few days before for a friend's wedding and did not gamble ONE CENT hating the idea of been throwing my money away! Ironic isn't it?

Unless you have all day to sit in front of the computer and bid, do not bother. It gets worse, I kept going back to the site for 3 hours and then I was outbid by someone using their bid assistant program. I bid at the last second and was outbid by their bid service. Why bother, there is no fun in that and I got taken for a ride. I asked for the rest of my money back and they did give me a refund. Guess this happens all the time. Let your friends know.

I really feel that it's a scam. There's been a user cheerleader007 that has been using bidding assistant for an item when it was only 10.00. The auction is still going and the item is now at 72.00 with the highest bidder still being cheerleader007. I calculated it and that means she has spent around $3600 just on the bidding. That's ridiculous. That's more than twice what the bag is worth. FAKE $#*! WEBSITE!

The sad thing about this website is that it shows on page 1 of google in position 1-4 so obviously a lot of people would have been exposed to this scam. Shame... the concept was cool but strategy and execution... pants!

I wish I did my research first before signing up for oohilove.com - what a waste of money! First off, I read everything on their website and even watched the video tutorial - I was convinced that their website was 'real' and it seemed legit to me, so I finally caved in and entered my credit card info and purchased the lowest 'bid pack' which was $29.99.

I started bidding on their Marc Jacobs bag and was doing pretty good until all of a sudden all these 'bid assistants' started to out-bid me and of course I eventually ran out of bids and could not continue. What's really strange is I waited until the last 10 seconds to start bidding, because I knew at least 3 other people were watching that same bag... as I sat there watching their 'manual bids' I started to notice all these 'new bidders' popping up. (This of course raised a red flag to me). I knew something was not right here. I have a feeling it's the company's employees who monitor the site and make sure suckers like me do not win the luxury designer bag. What a waste of time & money.

The good news is I only gambled $30 on this website --definitely a hard lesson learned -- PLEASE STAY AWAY from oohilove.com... they are running a scam!

I personnally LOVE the penny auction game... and it is a game... you are bidding for items much the same way you play the slots... hoping for a win. That being said this web site WAS AWFUL. I bought a 99 bid pack and recieved nine bids instead of 99. I then spent the NEXT FOUR WEEKS trying to get them to correct their mistake. I had to call THREE times and was put on hold a total of FIVE times. I will NEVER use the web site again nor would I recommend it.

I have just watched an auction on this website for the Louis Vuitton Galliera bag. The winner spend $1,362.08. This bag costs $ 1,280 for the 16.5"" x 11.4"" x 6.7 if you purchase it directly from Louis Vuitton If you are taking part in these auctions with the purpose of buying the item regardless of whether you win or not you might want to cheek out the real retail value of the item.

I purchased a 50 bid pack and had a coupon code for get 10 bids free. The auctions take forever because people keep bidding and that adds time to the end of the auction. So, I tried bid assistant. That is also annoying.
They give you "love dollars" for each bid that you can use at their "trunk show" There is nothing in their Trunk Show Section. At least the last time I checked. They also charge A LOT for shipping. It seems you can't win for losing on this site. Stick with ebay or a site I just found called yoogiscloset.com. It has designer co-sign stuff that is super cute!

This is a total scam. I lost $25; it could've been worse. Don't do it. Don't be tempted by the apparently cheap prices. If you lose the bid, you lose your MONEY. Did you get that? You could only use the money you spent on that bid to purchase the item at retail price which means having to pay $800 for a Gucci bag (same price you pay at the Gucci store). DON'T DO IT.

I feel like an idiot going on this site. It is a waste of time! You sit there for hours trying to bid/win and by the time you know it you have bid more than you wanted to and are left with love dollars... which is a joke! I don't recommend this site to anyone... dont waste your time!

Thank You for all the reviews! I thought it was to good to be true! For all those very few who have won. Congrats. But there are so many, many, more who have lost! This site may be legal but it is not an auction site... it is a gambling site! Just call it what it is! Auctions may charge a small fee, but after watching this site you can really loose a lot of money. Better we give our money to some charity than just throw it away foolishly!

This website is the only form of legal gambling and fraud that I am aware of. I am 100% convinced they are using their own bidders (or at least folks they have given hundreds of thousands of free "bids" to use) to build up the price of the item and literally steal money from consumers looking for a good deal. This site fleeced me of over $2000 and I have never felt more duped and naive that I had believed this was legit. When I tried to contact customer service there was none. This is a horrible site, product but hey, they are making themselves a fortune while abusing the consumer. I HATE OOHILOVE. Could that be any clearer?

Very bad experience, I lost $750, I got scammed big time. I feel that I lost a battle without a fight. I am sure that the automatic bidders are inside job.

I joined oohilove and bought only 30 bids to try it. I decided to bid on a 50 bid pack and after reading the tips from the site I would use the bid assistant. At less than 5 min on the clock I started my bid assistant and ran out of bids in what felt like 5 seconds. I knew it was a scam after watching nonstop bidding well over the 49.99 it was worth. Who in their right mind would waste their bids to pay double the price! I'm thankful I only wasted $30.00 and a lesson learned. It's too bad because it could have been a fun site to save money on nice thing.

One word people, SCAM. Don't bother or waste your time or money. I joined about 7 hours ago, because they had a link on Ebay and I thought I was dealing with a reputable company. I was not. I already sent them an email asking for a full refund, we'll see what happens. I'll be contacting Ebay about this fraudulent company and asking why they have them as a link on their website.

IF IT'S TOO GO TO BE TRUE, IT PROBABLY IS. Stay away and save your money!

It has become extremely clear that this site is a scam and the auctions are rigged. Furthermore, all of the positive reviews of this site here (sitejabber) I believe have been posted by oohilove representatives in an attempt to legitimize their scam. Read everything thoroughly, and don't throw your money down the drain with this site.

Just spent an entire evening on this website. Great idea if it was run fairly. Good luck trying to outbid the computer bidder! My nemesis on two bids were 'binbuckin' and 'english girl'. They had unlimited amount of money ex: spending $400 on bids for a bid pack worth only $200. English girl managed to win 4 big items in one evening(she must be magical). Both had an identical way of bidding mostly with 'bid assistent' and sometimes to convince us they were human they would switch to manual. Save your time and your money! Stay far away from this sham! Oh yes, I fully understood how to use this website and am not stupid or else I would still be using it!

NOTE: This is what I wrote to oohilove.com directly.
I'm really regretting ever signing up on this site, yet in the beginning I was skeptical, but what girl doesn't love a bargin deal, therefore, I followed your site for a few days and then bought some bids. Then quickly figured that this was only a money sucking game you play to all of us innocent people (yes, unforunately I made the choice to partake in this crazy website, I understand) What I'm trying to say is that I don't think it is fair for us to sit here for 3hours in the hopes to play some bidding war w/other people and people who have auto bid. Mind you this is not the first time I've sat here playing the waiting game and the thought that if we all bid 1 second before the time ends, oh, but wait it doesn't just end it just keeps going. I'm very disappointed in this website and how you work, it is unfair and a colossal waste of time. I feel really disappointed in myself for thinking that this website was something more than it really is! I'm sorry to say but this is so unlike me to ever leave a message or complain about anything, but this I just had to and if anyone is to ask me or want a review of your site, well then, this is exactly what they are going to hear. I guess the truth does hurt, but I don't want anyone else to get their hopes high or have some expectation of getting something fabulous, when really they are going to be extremely disappointed that they wasted so much time and energy and money on something that they will propbably never get... my advice to those people thinking of signing up for this is that they are much better off just forking over the real money to pay for something, because everyone's time is more important then sitting here for NOTHING! The End!

I am glad to hear that I am not alone in being "scammed." I saw this on the news, and it was a great way to buy designer items at very low prices. After 2 times buying $99 bid packs, (eeeeeeeeek) I feel scammed by the site. Having a few people look over my shoulder, they determined that the auction end is arbitrary. So it looks like there is a price selected and when it hits, you win. I feel scammed and will be contacting the attorney general of CA about it, although they have bigger issues to worry about... and I just should have known better! :(
