Ziinga

RUBBISH! I signed up for a website, Jobinaclick; was told that for doing so, I can get an ipod shuffle for £2.00 (p&h). I put in my details and recieved an invoice saying that I signed up for ZIINGA and was charged £59.99 and that this was a monthly fee. I immediately cancelled and was told via e-mail that I would be charged £28.99 cancellation fee but still had to pay the first £59.99 fee! I reported this to my bank and my bank informed me since I gave my card details, they can pretty much take a payment. I then cancelled my card. Tomorrow, I am going to the bank an cancelling my account! SHAME ON THEM! They are theives! And they are opperating very marginally to get away with it! Avoid avoid avoid!

When i first saw the site i thought wow lets have a go luckily i won ipod shuffle 2gb for 3.61 GBP on my first bid (free bid so no bids were bought) and thought its too good to be true, so i went to pay for the item with my credit card all went through fine but then they started asking for important documents such as home details, credit card info, copy of credit card front and back, driving licence or passport and utility bill to be sent through to them, i spoke to the live assistant and asked for my item but they refused and said u need to send in those documents before we can release the item, on no part of the terms and conditions does it say to provide this information, so i will not b getting the product by the looks of it, but luckily i have cancelled my credit card and told them about the situation + told them that it was a scamming site and they helped me out by refunding the amount. Problem solved.

PS. Stay away from ziinga.com site don't fall in to there trap, should really research any site b4 making any payments.

They are nothing but, Con Artists, They have conned me out of money that they stole from my Bank Account. Not only this but they Wanted me to PHOTO COPY my Credit card to send to them, They already had my Bank details when I signed up to them, And when I won an auction they were running at the time, which was a Camera of which I NEVER Received they took out the sum of."£59.99" out of my Account. Bearing in mind the item I won was "£1.00 and oddments." I AM VERY ANGRY.

COPY OF EMAIL SENT TO Ziinga.com TODAY:

Hi,

I live in Sydney, Australia and received an email in early October stating that I had won the Canon A1200 Digital Camera and that all I had to do was pay $3.00 for the delivery fee which I did straight away. I still hadn't received my camera and was starting to become a bit concerned but that all changed when I went to my bank today and was told that I had a $1.00 then a $268.80 withdrawal from my bank account by ziinga.com on the 29th October 2012 which was/is completely unauthorized. I never signed up for anything ongoing whatsoever and most certainly didn't authorize any money to be withdrawn from my bank account beside the $3.00 which was what the email stated all I had to pay to receive my free gift being the Canon A1200 Digital Camera.

I would like my money returned to my account immediately and for any future plans you may have of making any further withdrawals from account also stopped immediately. If the Camera really is free and I only required the one payment of $3.00 for delivery then I am happy to continue with that transaction but if not I want all transactions stopped at once and all my money that was stolen from my account returned at once.

I am on a disability pension with the government which only gives me $409.00 a fortnight to live on for rent, food, electricity etc so I would never have purchased a camera and the only reason I paid the $3.00 was for the delivery fee for the free item (or so I thought) so If I don't receive an instant refund I will also be making formal complaints with a legal aid lawyer, dept. of fair trading & consumer affairs, numerous police forces including all fraud teams as what happened to me is nothing short of theft and I have now been made aware that your company has done the exact same thing to not just me but many other people from around the world that believed they too had come across a true bargain only to be ripped off too.

I hope to hear back from a Ziinga.com representative ASAP and that all my money is reimbursed back into my account immediately.

Sincerely,

Toni

Total Scam

I too was scammed witht them taking monthly fees even though I cancelled but my bank (in the UK) returned all the money and the bank have reported them to the banking ombudsman for fraud, when Ziinga found out about the fraud investigation they sent me an email (see below) with a Google earth photo of our street attached like that's some kind of threat! They refer to attached documents which is just the Google earth... picture of our street! They are sad loosers! The address in malta is false they are based in eastern Europe

From Ziigna 'We have been recently informed that a transaction was reversed from your bank/credit card company. It was noted as a cancelled recurring transaction, which means that the issuer receives a complaint from the cardholder that payment of a recurring transaction was cancelled prior to or on the transaction date.

To amend this, please refer to the attached documents and follow the instructions within. We will make a follow up if we do not hear back from you within 5 business days.'

I bought a senseo coffeemaker in September or won a auction whatever. Now there is many conditions they blind you with like cheap I pads. Did u try to get something as soon as u get to 1second the server automatically goes off. It happened twice with me. Now the stupid coffee maker first you pay it is taken of immediately, note immediately. Now when I buy something online from respectable sites I am use to get my stuff delivered with my address details now this is where problem starts. Or the sh... t hit the fan. U must download a visa form and complete it. Why they took my money already.And u must send them a copy of your life history(lol) I was worried and should have stopped there. I did send it to them and no reply. I contacted them and they said they did not receive everything. I must send my ID again I was fuming. Ii sent a bigger copy. But in the mean time they took $100 from my credit card. Phoned them and ask what that was for, something like Premium membership which I agreed on. Really a surprise tor me. By this time i could have bought in a shop a decent coffee machine. Now I am waiting for my machine and this morning another $100 was taken from me. Now I found out that they will take another months fee from me. Shame on you for conning me. But shame on me for letting me conned the second time. You can't talk to this live persons they where trained very well. I don't think there are people with them after 3 months and that is what they are bargaining for. They don't care about the customers but only about the fees for 3 months. They should be reported to the American authority or maybe human rights is not so important as they seem it to be.
