Swipebids

CAN SOME ONE TELL ME HOW SO CALLED REAL SHOPPERS ON AUCTION SITES AND SHOPPING ADS SHOWN ON TV SHOWING REAL CUSTMERS SAYING HOW MUCH MONEY THEY MADE JUST BY SHOPPING?$$ HOW CAN THAT BE? SOUNDS LIKE FREE MONEY---? IM SURE ITS NOT THAT EASY!$ I KNOW THERES LOTS SCAMS. IV BEEN A VICTIM FROM SCAMS AT TIMES- SO HOW CAN THEY CLAIM THIS LEGALY? I STAY AWAY FROM AUCTION WEB SITES. ANY BODY KNOW HOW THEY SAY THEY GOT BACK SO MUCH MONEY JUST BY SHOPPING?

Okay, I was just a click away from signing up for this website and on second thought I did some search and came across this blog... Seriously I was about to fall for this scam. Thanks to you all I backed out. Sorry you all have to go thru this type of scam, and my concern is why not file a complain about this site to FBI. Also News9 is equally responsible if that little news headline they are playing on swipebids.com is true. They shud be sued for every penny... lets all join to file a lawsuit against this website and also news9..

I was upset when I saw my bank statement with a $150 charge from swipebids. I contacted them and said that it was for the 300 bids for the first sign up. I told them I was not aware of that and if I can refund it. Of course they said they can't refund it. IT WAS A BIG SCAM! I tried it so I can save a little but instead I got robbed for $150 and its not a small amount of money for a student like me. I just wish that people will read the fine prints before they sign up for anything. Im so sad for all of us who got scammed by this. And i believe in karma and someone above all of us. They will be punished for this.

An unauthorized debit was made from my bank account. Someone used my name and debit card info to set up an account. I noticed a $150 debit from my account. I called the customer service number on the website and was told that per their policy they do not refund anyone's money, when the account is created you agree to the &150 charge. I told them that I did not create the account - someone stold my information. They still refused to refund the money. Stay far far away from this site.

I agree w/ all of the other comments... SCAM. I thought I was putting in a credit card number so that when and if I bid I would be charged the bid price. Then my card was IMMEDIATELY charged $159.00. I contacted their customer service on line to request refund and was told it was no possible since I had entered a credit card #. They stated that there were 4 places on the initial screen where I could opt out of it and I didn't so I bought it. Then I called my bank where I have the credit card and they also said SORRY you agreed to it... so you bought it. I then went on the SWIPEBIDS website thinking that I can at least get my $159.00 back by winning something. WRONG... the bidding never stops. It is obviously done autobid style. Shut the site down... SCAM... SCAM... SCAM.

I saw the ad for this site and went to it. 90% off eh? The old saying as stated before "If it seems to good to be true, it must be". Before going to any site such as this, I always check it out. This should go for anyone! Anyone who gets scammed shouldve known in the first place. Always do you "homework" before getting into a dangerous situation. Ive learned my mistakes by going to sites like these and other sites too. I could lecture all day, but those of you who learned the hard way, I hope youve gain some experience out of it.

I got suckered in after seeing the site on a reputable morning television show and then an email offering 1000 free bids and a $25 walmart gift card... After I signed up with the code they required... the 1000 bids were not credited and neither was the gift card. I contacted online customer service and they told me that i must not have filled out the registration right. I told them I used their code and that they did manage to take $150 from my bank account... Needless to say, they credited the bids but told me i would have to win the gift card...

So, i tried for a $10 gift card that i won for about $1.50... The actual cost to me for the $10 gift card would have been $6.50 ($4.95 shipping) Again i contacted them and told them the cost for shipping was crazy... DON'T DO IT... It can be addicting and I really would like to get something for my money but don't think its possible... I should have used my better judgement that "if its too good to be true, it must be a scam"

I too was scammed for $150. By the time I was through registering, they had already billed my credit card. When I called, they refused to refund the money,
I have not seen any positive reviews on this site anywhere. Go to Scamraiders.com and pennyauctionwatch.com and you will find the same. I filed a complaint with the FCC, FTC, Ic3, FBI and the Utah BBB.
They have changed their web site several times since they started. THey have bots who bid on the items each time the clock runs out, until they have the money they want, Then, sometimes they will let someone win. Probably one of their employees. Please file complaints with all the agency's you can. They all have complaint forms you can fill out on line. It costs you nothing and just maybe someone will get tired of reading all the complaints and do something about these crooks. James

For anyone taken by Swipebids, there is a 1976 law - Fair Credit Billing Act. If the initial purchase is not what was agreed upon, and you try to resolve with the retailer, then you can take your arguement to your credit card company, they will refund and take up your arguement with the retailer. How many arguements do you thing Visa and Mastercharge will take up before they just ban the site outright and save everyone the hassle. Good luck to those who were scammed.

Scammed me out of $150. I called my bank they said to contact the site and see if you can retrieve your cash. Well I talked to the online rep via Chat she told me there will be a 10 day turnaroudn to refund my cash. Im still waitng. I havent read anything thats been posted baout anyone actually getting a refund but on day ten I will call back my bank and dispute the charges and if need be I hate to say it but Lie and say my CC was stollen adn used to make this purchase. Otherwise Im out $150 and thats njust not going to happen.

I like the post that puts a name to this low life scam artist. Jesse Willms. P. O. S. I hope you scam a real prick and they come for you Jesse. You deserve to have both knee caps broken to crawl the earth on your belly like the worm you are. God help you if we ever should cross paths. On behalf of all who have been scammed... Lesson learned.
