I hope this website and its creators get sued and molested in prison
This is rip off. I new it was a rip off, but when the fricking news channel (forgot what channel was) made a positive report about this site, I gave a try. Well, unlike the other members, I new that they will charge you $150 dollars upon the sign up. the issue i noticed is that, some members bid from the beginning to the end of the auction, and they win. I calculated the bid amount this member placed, does not make any sense. Any rational person would not waist $2, 500 for a $1, 200 macbook. I think the website is specially programed such that there is no macbook at all, or may be some. It is set up such that rips people off by selling them bids at 50 cent each. just within two hour I waisted $300 dollars and could not even win the bidding cards like they said that it was easy to win. I placed bids, but it would not except it on time or just would ignore it. Sometimes when time runs out, my placed bid will show up on next new auction (same item). the only thing I won is jewelry that still I had to pay the winning price. Oh yes, I spent another $150 on winning the $120 dollar item, that I won for around $5 plus $9.99 shipping and handling. On the auction it said that it is $4.95 for the shipping, so where the hell the additional $5 came from. Tried to get hold of somebody, no success. Right now I am watching Macbook that is over $110 now, and every other bid was made by member under the name MrHurrel. I ran out of bids to keep up with this guy, and many other members jumped in and they probably ran out from the bids too. But this MrHurrel probably put $2, 500 so far for this macbook. this is obviously a scam. There is no way that someone actually would do that. This person probably not even a person but a program. Do the math: this member is responsible for more than $50 dollar increase. each bid is 50 cent that adds only one cent.. So, this member made 5, 000 bids that cost him/her/it 50 cent each or $2, 500 in total. I learned my lesson. Expensive one. I hope this website and its creators get sued and molested in prison.

Tricked me out of $150.
I found this site through a well written article (seemed too good to be true, but I bought it) anyway, As I was entering information for my "Free 100 bids" -to complete the form, they asked you for your credit card number. Now I have been doing thousands, if not a million dollars worth of purchases on the internet and I am always very careful, but this one time...someone took advantage.
I understood it as I was leaving my credit card number in good faith. In case I won a bid, they would charge my card. I also bid about 20 times (thinking I was using my "Free 100 bids" but I didn't get far and I saw it for what it really was so I quit and decided never to go back to that site.
Then all of the sudden, I check my bank account and it shows $150. going to jumbocloseouts.com
So I access the site, thinking maybe I won something that I was just not aware of.
NOPE! They took $150. out of my account without my permission!
Then when I called them to return my money, they said I was duly informed that they would take this money out of my account and by leaving my credit card number I was authorizing it. " READ THE FINE PRINT" they tell me!
Something is a scam when you are taken advantage of, and the person taking advantage has the intentions of taking your money without your permission.
They found a great loophole to do this legally.
I say we take a class action law suit out against them
They are thinking, by only taking $150. no one is going to take them to court!
Why has no one written to the BBB about this? Have we all just gotten lazy and used to being taken advantage of?
Let's stand up and make them pay!
