Price Shuffle Tony Slocum 'Make them think they're getting a real good deal' the grifter's creed Internet

I have just recieved the following email from Price Shuffle:

"Mr. ///////, I have just refunded $149.75 to your account. It will take 3-5 business days to post in your bank of financial services account."

I truly beleive this would not have happened without the presence of Rip Off Report. Thank you very much for all you do. It is sincerely appreciated!!!!!

Dear Wheelman,
      Yes, I reached out to you and stated I was here to assist you. Your first attempt to amend your complaint was practically non-existent. First off, let me start by saying I have refunded the charge in question on your account. This refund will take 3-5 business days to process and the funds to be back in your account so you have this in writing. I would now like to address your claim. You claimed that the charge of $149.75 was not authorized by you and was fraudulent in nature and on our behalf. This being said, you still used your account to bid on auctions such as; an apple iPad, Wireless Kindle and a Kodak easy share camera. We just want to point out that although you claim to not wanting this service, you attempted to take advantage of our great site and the potential huge savings on one of the products listed. If you were upset that you weren't clear or skipped over the charge, which was clearly stated upon signing up and in our terms, than that's one thing. Again, we have refunded your money and just wanted to let it be known that we follow good business practices and are an ethical company with great customer support. Many other companies have been named on this thread, none of which we are associated or feel that we conduct our business in the same manner.

I just read 2 reports regarding refund issues from swipebids and swipeauctions. Same exact type of online gambling guised as an "auction" and same deceptive fee for sign up.

Both those sites (which I believe are owned by the same scammer) are reportedly in the process of being shut down..hence no refunds are being given.

I imagine all of the gambling sites using this business model will be shut down. For all we know they are shutting themselves down to keep the refunds..then just open using another name and/or owner. Either way..every aspect of this from start to finish is brilliant from a business standpoint..from an ethical and legal standpoint..not so much..

Next time..never assume you are giving out credit/debit card or bank information for ANY other reason..then to authorize someone to charge the account. Which is exactly what you did whether you missed the membership fee or not.

Best of luck.

I recieved the following email from the penny auction that goes under the name Price Shuffle dated October 27th, 2010.

"Mr. ///////,
      I am very sorry for the inconvenience and appreciate the patience you have exuded. I would like to help resolve this issue for you. I noticed you wrote a negative comment regarding our company on ripoff report's website. Here is the direct link. http://www.ripoffreport.com/miscellaneous-companies/price-shuffle/price-shuffle-tony-slocum-mak-6b585.htm

I just wanted to let you know I was reaching out to help you get a refund. I would ask if you would please amend the complaint online stating that the company is willing and going to refund you for the full amount of your charge in question, I can refund it and send you confirmation. Please let me know once the amendment is posted and as soon as I see it, I will get your refund processed. We look forward to hearing back from you.

I immediately updated my original story stating that Price Shuffle would refund my money. It is November now and I haven't recieved my refund or been contacted again by Eii Smit.

Price Shuffle has agreed to refund my money if I would state so here!!!
