Swipe Auctions Swipeauctions.com Rip Off, Will Not Give My Money Back - NO REFUND Aurora, Colorado

If the site is being shut down (which I expected ever since I read the first complaint here a month or so ago.. and there are a LOT), and they are not taking any more memberships, and are no longer refunding any membership fees..this report doesn't do you any good.

But what can do you some good..and anyone else who needs money for school and other important things, is to not give out any credit card info to some "confusing" or any website until you investigate and research a little first. There is no shortage of information regarding this and other penny auctions..and the fact that they are actually nothing less then online gambling for prizes..and many have deceptive membership fees.

But the bottom line is this. If you do not submit credit card/bank info to any websites, you will not have any of these types of unexpected charges show up. When you submit credit/debit card or bank information out online..you need to expect that in doing so..you are authorizing someone to charge the account... Now if this gambling site was not trying to decieve anyone into paying this fee..that would have a separate "confirmation" page where you are notified of the total amount of the charges..asked on this separate and non distracted page that you agree to the total charges and what they are for..and then submit and get a page with a confirmation number,and payment info to print out or electronically file.

I do not know if any law requires payment to be made this way..but if a site did not have intent on deceiving people, that is the way they would do it..then no one would have to complain they didn't know they were being charged. Make sense?
