I also was taken for $159.00 because I never noticed anything about a registration fee and when I hit submit no prompt was given for me to verify the amount that would be taken. I thought the information was only for purchasing purposes should I bid on something. I was looking at a camera for my daughter. I cannot afford the amount taken and all that was offered to me was a refund form to MAIL back in. After they receive it, they review it and make a decision as to whether or not I should get my money back. I am sick over this.

I got scammed for the $159 membership fee about 2 hours ago and I have already chatted with the agent who can't cancel my membership and refund my money for 5-10 business days; sent email to the company; sent email to a lawyer looking into a class action suit; callled the bank... I have $86 to my name right now. I am on a fixed income and i can''t afford to callously throw away that much money UNDISCLOSED for registration! If I could stand to visit every web site on the net to complain about this company I would but I think it is making my blood pressure go u[p. This company is a SCAM!

This site is totally bogus, if there would be cyberspace police to keep track of these black market money-makers, or if there would be an international law to destroy this site for good!

IMPORTANT POINTER TO CONSIDER IF THIS IS LEGITIMATE:
1) LOOK AT YOUR URL BAR (WHERE THE WEB ADDRESS IS LOCATED)
IT SHOULD START WITH HTTPS :// , ESPECIALLY IF YOU'RE ENTERING CREDIT CARD INFORMATION BECAUSE THIS MEANS ITS A SECURE CONNECTION. PERIOD

ACTUALLY, MAJORITY OF LEGITIMATE SITES REQUIRING REGISTRATION UPON PROCEEDING TO THE NEXT STEP. OR AT THE BEGINNING OF THE REGISTRATION PROCESS, ALWAYS TAKE NOTE THAT ITS A SECURED CONNECTION, THAT IS, ITS BEGGINS WITH HTTPS :// OR SHTTP :// FOR SOME.

This website is very misleading and is totally designed to to just suck money out of bidders and to deliver nothing., by the time you figure out what they are up to you have lost many, many, many dollars and when you complain about it to them they refund your sign up charge and refuse to refund any other charges. This site should be stopped immediately. If you have been ripped off by this company please report it and lets stop this!

You have to admit. SwipeBids is an awesome concept... for SwipeBids's owners that is, not necessarily you and me doing the bidding. People here are writing that it is a scam. It's not a scam and why would it be. Think about it. It costs $. 50 a bid and each bid raises the price $. 01. For an item auctioning off at a current price of $20, SwipeBids has already made... let's see... let's do the math... 100 bids for each dollar, 20 dollars, 20 times 100, equals 2000 bids... hmmm, at $. 50 a bid, hmmm, that looks like a $1000 in the pocket of SwipeBids from you and me. $1000 dollars! If the bid is up to $200, that's $10,000 people! No need to scam, their making money hand over fist. I want to start a site just like it! Only if I new how.

Anyways, awesome concept. Bravo SwipteBids. People bid up the prices themselves. Especially if they already have a lot invested in their bidding. No bots. It's hard to stop if your already out $100 and their is always someone else, with the same dilema, bidding against you.

GOT MY MONEY BACK FROM SWIPEBIES so far. Back in June, I contacted my credit card company. I told them that I was dissatisfied with the service that Swipe Bids gave me. The bank charged all my charges back to Swipebids and so far they have has not tried to defend themselves. All you would have to do is show the bank the BBB rating and print out this blog and they would look pretty bad. Just be sure you are not charging them with fraudulent activity, I thing you could have success. Try it anyway.

DO NOT do business with this company. A quick search on google will tell you everythig you need to know. Also go to www.swipebids-warning.info for a condensed report. The Better Business Bureau gives them an F rating and "Strongly recommends" contacting the FBI Internet Crimes Division, the FTC and Two Canadian Government Agencies (This is a Canadian company).

Do not expect to get your money back from them after they trick you ito spending $150. See some actually "customer service" chats to get a peak at what to expect - or not - in customer service. www.swipebids-warning.info

As many of you I signed up in the idea that my credit card would be used in case I won a bid. Oh no, my card got charged with $150.00 immediately and I was not aware of this. The only way you can get your money back is to bid and not win and than you still have to wait 2weeks. After the 2 weeks you get nothing back. This is the biggest scam ever. They claim that the $150.00 charge is on the website (that is after you gave them your credit card info and the money has been taken out already).
Take a look at their site and keep an eye on the timer it goes to 2 seconds and than back up to whatever they seem good for them. This goes on for hours!

It's only there to scam people out of their money. I went there to check it out but you have to register first. Then they tacked on a fee of 159.00 without telling you. Since it was reviewed by the news media, I thought what the heck, let me try it. Lo and behold, it's a scam! Channel 9 should have done a better job researching before doing a report on it. CNN should be more selective on their supported links, that's where I first heard about Swipebids.com (Swipeyourmoney.com) I supposedly won a 10.00 Walmart cards for 1.00 when I went to pay for it, they wanted 4.95 in addition to ship it. So the card is now only worth 4.05 instead of 9.00. I consider myself a pretty savvy internet person and I have used auction sites like Ebay alot, but scambids really got me good. I got them to refund me the membership fee by threatening to go to the media as well as my bank and lawyer. I filed a case with my bank anyway just in case they don't follow through as promised on the refund. STAY AWAY FROM THIS SITE THEY ARE ONLY OUT TO GET YOU FOR YOUR MONEY!

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..

THIS SITE WAS PUT TOGETHER BY A BUNCH OF SHARK LAWYERS OF WHICH ARE TYPICAL FOR THE INTERNET. IT IS A SHAME THAT WE NORMAL
PEOPLE THAT MAKE UP THE MAJORITY OF THIS '''''''''ONCE''''''''' GREAT COUNTRY HAVE TO BE AS SHARP AS ATTORNEY'S IN ORDER TO FIND A GOOD BUY AND NOT GET TAKEN. THIS SITE SWIPEBIDS IS AN EXTREMELY
TRICKEY SITE. IN THIS TERRIBLE ECONOMY PEOPLE ARE TRYING NOT TO GO UNDER. I AM A RETIRED LAW ENFORCEMENT AND I AM ASHAMED TO ADMIT I WAS TAKEN. EVERYTHING IN THESE OTHER RVIEWS ALL COME TO THE SAME CONCLUSION THAT WE WERE TAKEN BY A UNCAREING AND CROOKED MONEY HUNGARY GROUP OF PEOPLE.
