I joined Bidsauce.com yesterday because I am a Mypoints.com member, and received a Mypoints.com refferal email, which I've attached. When I clicked on the email, nowhere did it explain how Bidsauce worked. When I saw that Bidsauce was being compared to ebay, it interested me. Also, I saw the raving reviews included at the bottom from Wired, New York Times, BBC and other companies, which I later found out were all false and fabricated. Again, no explanation anywhere about how the site works, but a registration form only. So, I signed up thinking that I'd get to read about how this works on the next page. Instead, the next page was a form to purchase bid boxes.
Now, only after I purchased the bidbox did I recognize the scam. Classic "Bait and Switch." It was even more apparent when I got to see it in action.
I called the customer service department this morning and the representative I spoke to denied that Bidsauce compared themselves to ebay or that they had anything to do with mypoints.com. The attachments included of the email as well as the website screenshot is proof that Bidsauce used mypoints.com to obtain more customers (deceitfully so), and the page that I clicked on via that email shows a webpage comparing Bidsauce to ebay as well as its false reviews. In addition to this, the representative told me that it's stated in the terms of service that all purchases are non-refundable, BUT the terms of service only comes up AFTER you purchase, not BEFORE, like it should. The customer needs to know all the details before they are tricked into registering.
There must be a class-action suit against this fraudulent company, especially with all the existing complaints from people scammed by Bidsauce. I would like for us to join together to put a stop to their misleading business practices.
Please respond immediately.
