People pay to bid on *insert valuable thing here*
If you bid in the last 15 seconds, timer gets reset.
So I just make the timer reset constantly with an account owned by me, at 1 second left
once I feel pretty confident no one else is bidding on it, I win the auction.
Make fake customer testimonial about how I got my *insert valuable thing here* and im happy with it.
Rinse repeat. No *insert valuable thing here* needed.
First their friends win, they get called out on it, now the "3rd party software" won..... some how i think it's them making an account they control win, they screwed up and made it way to frickin obvious, so they say someone else rigged it, not them. Wait til they get smart and make it use a different account for each auction, then we will see the all the postive feedback they created themselves without moving an animal. If they were smart they would actually send a couple animals of and let a couple people win here and there. This scam is really easy to keep going. Almost wish I was that much of a low life, seems like easy money. damn morals....
I don't see how they can be defended or given the benefit of a doubt now, what are we on strike 9? It's just been one thing after another that screams scam scam scam....

I saw that, and really, why in the HELL would someone join facebook just to post on a website's wall? And they claim to want to be anonymous on the page, but somehow BallBids knows its a woman and a Elem. teacher? Yep. I smell a bot. :)

They've dug themselves a hole so deep that it makes the Grand Canyon look like a slit trench.

I would say you would have to be a moron to bot your own site when you could for effectively just make a function that does the same thing, since you have access to your own code. It honestly might be coded in there for no one to win but them or their "friends"

So I liked nrvgonestop's facebook page (I'm the only one) and I posted "Good job, I hope you win more", and HE deleted my post on his own page... Hmmmmmm sounds like a cover-up to me...

I think I'm changing my opinion..
At this point its clearly a scam, and people keep throwing them money.
If they can get money out of the hands of dummies when it is so GLARINGLY OBVIOUS that is a scam then who am I to stop them?
We really don't have to worry about them sending out sick snakes because nobody is really winning. Dumb folks are gonna lose their money everyday, we can never fix that.
My objection was with them actually selling snakes, but they are not, they just selling people dreams and nothing more. I truly don't believe any snakes are changing hands..

I can't help but find it difficult to believe that a female elementary school teacher would leave the following statement in the "about" section of her Facebook account.
It simply states "I am a penny auction bidder. My new favorite is Ballsbids.com"
