Get even
April 15, 2016

If all the people on this complant site. Hate police auction as much as they say. Then do something about it. Its not hard to over bid. Win the auction. And don't hit pay.if every one on this site did that police auctions will have a bad day i am not telling anyone to do that its just a idea someone gave me. Of course two wrongs don't make a right. There is nothing anyone can do if you change your mind and don't want the item you just won

They have received (4) four payments for (2) two items and refuse to send the items. I have done (3) written notices and (2) two phone calls to no avail. They say the address is not exact as on the card. AND it is. Exact enough to remove money from my debit account. Now they say to try a different card or write a check to hold the item for 14 days. They ALREADY have four payments. Just ask Dan!

Garbage
August 22, 2016

Made a huge mistake by buying from this site. I received one of my purchases and have already sent it back, hopefully I will get my money back. The ring that I purchased was cheap rubbish, nothing like the picture or description. I though it was to good to be true so I bet when all the rest of my purchased turn up they will be getting sent back as well.

Today was my first time being on this site and so I end up bidding on 2 items one will end@ 1 am and the other will end tomorrow so far I'm winning. So after reading these disclaimers I will not be paying any of my hard earn money to these scam artists thanks to everyone who posted on this site

Con Artist
July 15, 2019

The item I received is nothing like the item I saw in the photo. It looks like a cheap toy ring. It's embarrassing to even wear it. I paid a total of less than $80, but it looks like $5.
This company is misleading people as they conduct Police Auction, but they are probably importing cheap stuff from China for $1-5, and selling like they are worth something.

I bought several pieces of jewelry from Policeauctions.com. The items were described as rubies, emeralds, etc... When I got the pieces in I took them to a jewelry store to find that I had bought "high end" costume jewelry. Yeah, I know, if it is too good to be true it probably isn't. If you return the items you eat their shipping, pay for your own shipping, and pay a 15% restocking fee. If you buy keep this in mind in your bidding and don't pay too much.

Junk
March 27, 2020

I ordered some pieces and its junk. The chains are cheap and the stones look like they need a good cleaning. I urge people not to buy this junk. It doesn't state if its 14 or 18 carat gold on the jewerly. Save your money!

AWAY FROM THIS COMPANY
October 4, 2019

I thought this is really a government auction by police and wanted to bid few items but I called them to check then only realize it's not and the lady also too rude. Lucky I'm not and now I read all these reviews they all been cheated by this policeauction.com

Relevant authorities must do something.

I was very disappointed in the quality of the jewelry it's differently low end costume jewelry! Lesson learned the company will not do a return it's not in a status return! It would of been cheaper to buy a box of Cracker Jack's! Don't waste your money on this scam! Had the the set valued at$1900. 00 what a joke!

POS
August 30, 2018

It appears that we all have the same problems with our fake win.

I bid on a ring and was excited about the win! Well the win wasn't a win at all. I spent $76 on a fake ring. Silly me forgot to send it back for my money.

Would you believe when I went back to the site, they had the same ring! More than likely you're bidding against a machine and not a real person.

I would never EV'A bid again. I usually check reviews first and I didn't, so that's my fault. Too back they don't have a review section on their page otherwise, it would be there 'cause there's nothing but bad reviews.

Awful! I feel like they stole $100 from me
January 24, 2021

The jewelry that I received in the mail looked like it came out of the CrackerJack Box. It was nothing more than cheap costume jewelry. They Clarinex it was amethyst and diamonds, but it's not. It is not at all what I was bidding on. They do not return emails or answer the phone. Then when you try to cancel, they say it's too late. I filed a claim against them with the BBB and a dispute through PayPal. Do not buy from them.

They charged me $39.98 on my card but they never provided the auction I was looking for. They just want your cc info to charge you and get money from your account. Don't sign for free unless you are willing to get a charge for nothing. I am disputing the charge with my American Express though...

Scam and criminal!
February 19, 2019

Fortunately for me, I won six items and had a huge amount bid on the seventh item. I sent a photo of a watch I won but had not paid for, to my sister. She went on line immediately and told me it was a scam! I would have paid $1500. USD had she not been on the been suspicious by nature. They will not get one single penny of my money! $#*!s!

DON'T TRUST THEM
January 15, 2022

Their jewelry are totally fake, they don't worth what they say it worth. It really looks like Wish fake jewelry. Totally disappointed of this site. They are stealing people's money in the name of Police Auction. Shame, shame and shame.

Stay as far away from this site as possible. Most if not all the items are worth far, far less than advertised. I brought items I purchased to pawn shops and jewelry stores, ALL said the items were basically JUNK.
There should be some way to shut them down. If anyone has info on how to accomplish this they should add to this post.
JUNK will always remain JUNK

Fake jewlery
August 15, 2020

Bought a ring that I received and it turned to be hard plastic and not a stone at all. It also fell out of the setting after one week. I asked for a return and they said it was not refundable. I have only had it for a week. What a rip off, stay away. I'm not sure how they get away with it!
