On June 7th, 2013 I was browsing on the internet and came upon ZBiddy.com. and decided I take a look at the website. Once I got to the website couldn’t get past the page of advertisments until I registered so, I thought why not, what did I have to lose, little did I know. It said that you could register for ‘free’ BUT before you could start to registar you were required to give your credit card information ‘to keep on file for future use/purchases’. A short time after I finished I received an email Welcoming me to ZBiddy AND a Thank You for purchasing $99.00 worth of bids -.60 cents per bid. As soon as I could, I contacted them by email and called customer service. Nothing, No response!!! From June 8th, 2013 to August 29th, 2013 I sent MANY emails and letters with a copy of the guarantee sent to me. Any response from ZBiddy was a standardized letter stating “Thank you for contacting us. We will look into this matter and get back to you as soon as possible.” Email after email, I apologized, I begged, and pleaded. I delivered information and responded in anger, then I cryed, a lot!! On the 29th of August, 2013 I called the number given to me in the most current email from ZBiddy customer service, however it was an online dating service. After trying the same number a couple of times to make sure I hadn’t misdialed, I sent an email to ZBiddy explaining my latest experience but this email was sent back as undeliverable. Life got really busy and complicated so I didn’t make any attempts to communicate with them for awhile. However, when I did attempt to contact ZBiddy, with a different phone number and by email, the phone had been disconnected and the website no longer existed. Frustrated, angry, totally p—ed off and ashamed of what I had done, I put my tail between my legs, hung my head and went on with life. Then this evening, Saturday July19th, I found this website and decided if I couldn’t get my money back, I could at least file a report so that hopefully others wouldn’t do what I had done, not with this company but with other companies. I’m very tired of getting scammed because I trust what I am told and the written information I’ve been given. Now I don’t trust anyone. Anyone that wants money, financial information, like credit card or bank account information, or anyone offering a ‘once in a life time’, ‘on sale for a very short time’, or ‘a fantastic deal just for you’, etc.

rip-off company
After my account was charged without knowlage I made every attempt to get a refund for my $99. The only thing I was told they could do is send my a gas card as a form of refund. I filled out all requested forms and was never sent a gas card. I made several attempt to corrct this issue without success. I called the company directly a couple of times and spoke to a customer support agents and was promised a gas card would be sent to me but I still did not receive a gas card. I filled a written report on the companies web site but it has all been in vain. I would never recommend the compant to any one I know because is is just a rip-off company. .
beware
I did not know what I was buying into but they needed my credit card. After investigated I found out this was a place to bid on items and they had given me 25 free bidding dollars. When I got my bank statement I noticed a debit amount of $99.50. I called and found out that I had indeed got involved in a place to bid on items. I explained that I wanted to cancel and have my money returned. I was offered more bidding dollars but I wasn’t interested. They credited my account $49.50 and supposedly $100.00 in gas in $10.00 increments. I sent in a registration form to: Zbiddy Gas Rewards Redemption Center, 434 S. Military Trail, Deerfield Beach, FL 33442. I have yet to receive any thing for free gas. .
fraud
Last year I got an invitation online to join zbiddy, the penny auction site and try it out. I bought about $100 worth of bids with which I won many auctions. Some were for several hundred dollars in food and goods coupons, some were “”mystery”” auctions, and some were for actual items. I never received anything that I won! I got one thing from one of the many mystery auctions that I won and it was an old leather strap “”bracelet”” with a scratched and chipped plastic “”stone”” glued to it. It literally looked like it had been laying in a street being run over. I thought that at least I’d be getting some things that were worth my money, especially the coupons. I won about 5-6 auctions each for $300-$500 in coupons alone…but never received a thing. Nothing! I contacted them with no reply. I finally just gave up and told everyone that I know to stay away from this fraudulent company. I should have reported them!
