This bogus penney auction site dupes you to join for 30 days free membership and then $ 11.95 per month thereafter, and then charges your credit card $ 159.00 with one minute. Frustrated customers call them back and are routed to some hard skin customer service reps that only pacify the callers and don't do anything.

Then with persistence they show a link to download a form to fill out, and snail mail back to them. The form is asking for up to 45 days length of time to process the refund and credit back the $159 to your account.


Horrible experience as I felt so used.

Jennifer cares..but how about the owner?

AUTHOR: kb948 - (Canada)

POSTED: Wednesday, September 29, 2010

Jennifer,


 


It is so nice to see you going throughout the internet stomping out fires. How come so many people are angry and poor you has to keep reassuring over and over again? I really feel sorry for you as I am sure you are a nice person just trying to do your job.


However,


You still haven't answered my questions:


1. Is it true according to the Better Business Bureau (bbb.org) that Jesse Willms owns Swipeauctions?


2. Is it true (to confirm with the BBB) that Jesse Willms also owns(ed) "JDW Media" and Just Think Media and they both have an F rating with the BBB?


3. Is it true that JDW Media has been sued by Dr. Oz via Harpo Productions for deceptive marketing practices? Also, a law suit with Microsoft too. Just use search words JDW Media Oprah Jess Willms and Microsoft JDW Media.


4. Isn't it true W5 has done a scathing report on Jesse's past internet business practices? To see that search W5 Jesse Willms Just think Twice. It is a great watch.


5. Is it true that JDW Media has been alleged by the Australian Cancer Board to be using their Pink ribbon without permission? Search Australia Cancer JDW Media to get the report right from the major Australian newspapers.


Given these numerous law suits pending and completed and the W5 Show, how can we be sure all is on the up and up?


I know, I just don't go away. They are hard questions to answer. Can you answer them?


Good luck trying to stomp out fires.


My suggestion is to relook at your marketing plan. This one seems to cause a lot of anger. Poor you being the meat in the sandwich has to try your best to calm waters. The problem is the waters are rising. A Tsunami is happening.


Good luck trying though...I do respect you for that.

Good Morning Cy,

My name is Jennifer and I am the Head of Customer Service for SwipeAuctions. We do not advertise for a 30 day membership, it is a lifetime membership for a one-time fee of $159 and upon registration you have the option to pay $11.95 per month for 60 free bids a day. As well I want to assure you we do not unknowingly charge any credit card as we mention our membership fee several times within the final registration page.

If you are still looking for a refund or have any other questions or concerns please feel free to contact me personally at jennifer@swipeauctions.com. Within the email please include your first/last name, user name, email linked to account and the link to this post.

I look forward to hearing from you as I will ensure you a positive resolution.

Regards,

Jennifer
Head of Customer Service

swipeauctions now uses swipeauctions-register.com to gain sign ups

AUTHOR: kb948 - (Canada)

POSTED: Saturday, September 25, 2010

Gee, the swipeauctions thing continues...

 

I just found out swipeauctions now gets their registrations through swipeauctions-register.com. I think it may be to shield complaints on Alexa.

So, please tell your story on swipeauctions-register.com in the review section at alexa.com. You may need to create a log in. 10 million users use the Alexa toolbar so your review and star(s) will get noticed. You will need to ask for a report on swipeauctions-register.com to give a review.

It is too bad we need to be one step behind this thing. Maybe we can help others this way.

You were used..

AUTHOR: Ronny g - (USA)

POSTED: Saturday, September 25, 2010

..but be thankful you will get a refund. This site used to not give a refund at all..or make it virtually impossible to do so. Below is a screen shot of where you gave this SCAM site authorization to charge you. I guess you missed what was on line 5 before you clicked "start bidding?



Payment Information (128 Bit Secure Transaction)













  1. Please do not use spaces or hyphens















  2. (what is this?)





  3. By Pressing the button below you agree to pay $159 for 300 bids
