Yes this site is a scam. My experience was different from the others who have already complained. Instead of not registering my bids, the clock registered them went down to as low as 5 seconds remaining then just jumped straight back to 15 seconds, repeatedly and interminably! It almost gave me a headache watching it, that is if I didn't already have a headache from the horror of realising I had been tricked out of £10 so easily. The site really does sound like it has a good business basis, it charges for bids and it charges premium rates for calls. So it should be in profit even without having to scam people, but sadly alas. I have already submitted a complaint to the Advertising Standards Agency, so will have to wait and see if they manage to get it taken down and catch the offenders.
