I've watched a couple of auctions on this site. They have 2 clocks that run parallel to eachother. One is the so-called "end" time of the auction, the other is a countdown time for biddin. If the countdown reaches zero the auction will end - regardless of the "end" time (supposedly). Now , I watched an auction tonight where the "end" time keeps resetting to a later time. Also , everytime someone clicks a bid, it adds 10 seconds to the countdown. This means the auction is perpetual. Many financial crooks do a "penny" scam, wherein they handle large transactions in a heavy volume. They skim a penny here and a nickel here off of each account, funneling their skimmed cash into a different account (operated by themselves). In this manner they can skim thousands or even millions of dollars, a "penny" at a time. Now with ball bids, if the clock never runs out, people bidding are still buying bids to use on the site. All the while some of the "people" bidding could just be internal "bot" in their system. So , they are practically stealing peoples money while their own computers are bidding for them.
But I've seen someone win a waterdish from them. But I think this win of "dry goods" is just to keep them under the radar for now. I've not heard of anyone winning an actual snake from there. This is a true scam- and they are taking in countless amount of account info from these hapless folks ( one of them is my girlfriend). I recommend that no one use this site. And if anyone would to help me expose and destroy them, we should work on it now. lunastrix88@yahoo.com is my email.
