swipebids.com Hidden upfront costs! Internet

This website purports to save you loads of money by charging you $12.50/month to bid on their auctions.  They gladly tell you it used to cost $21.00/month.  They also tell you they are only accepting a limited number of newcomers today and to sign up in the next 4 minutes and then the next 3 minutes, etc.

What they fail to advertise in as large a print as everything else, in fact it's in a very light gray color and miniscule font size, is that the entire membership will be a one-time charge and is non-refundable.  So, after the shock of being hit with $150 against our bank account and thinking we' survived it although it was a hard hit to a retired couple living on Social Security we discovered that wasn't the end.

A month later we were hit with another $11.95 which they claim was again in the fine print stating that it was additional to the membership fee already paid.  This company is a major scam and ripoff.

DO NOT SIGN UP!
