Swipeauctions.com No Receipt No Refund
swipeacutions.com was in my e-mail so I answered it. Boy how dumb. I filled out the registration because I wanted to learn how to bid. How confusing that was. I got charged $159 like BAM! and requested in their chat service provided to reverse the charges. Chat room said directions were clear and simple. Bet me. I now have to fill out a refund request on a form they provided and send it in via mail then follow up in 15 days with their chat room. I never received a receipt which has the order number for refund. Now What.

Swipeauction is A BIG F*ING FRAUD!!! 5 minuites is all it takes for them to raid your account!
swipe auctions.com is nothing but a big scam! I was only on line with this site for 10 minuites but enough time for them to raid my account! If I did not call my credit card company immediately upon discovering this, I am certain they would have taken all the money they could. Wells Fargo thinks this is a legitimite site! They claim that that there was some warning or waiver for this immense fraud but I do not buy it! Do not even think of opening a link for this site. This site will suck you dry! WARNING!

THE SWIPE AUCTION IS CERTAINLY A SCAM. THEY ARE LOCATED IN THE UK. THEY WILL TRICK YOU INTO USING THEM. THEY WILL HIT YOUR CREDIT FOR BIG BUCKS.THIS A CASE OF WIRE FRAUD. WHERE IS THE FBI WHEN YOU NEED THEM? How in the world do your keep these dishonest people from taking your money. I AM REALIY PISSED OFF. THEY COMPARED THEMSELVES TO E-BAY. I HAVE HAD A LOT OF DEALINGS WITH E-BAY. E-BAY HAS ALWAYS BEEN HONEST.HOW COULD I BE SO *** AS TO BELIEVE THEIR WEBSITE. DOES ANYONE KNOW WHAT CAN BE DONE TO STOP THESE CROOKS?

I got taken on 9-21-2010. I still havn't gotten my money back nor can I find anyone to answer my question.
I did get the send for the refund forms and then the you'll get your money in ten days talk. It now 11-10-2010 and none of what they said has come true for me.
this people should be sent to jail fast. (SwipeAution )
i am not going to give up..someone has to do something about this site..we all need to go to BBB site and file complaints with FTC,Internet crime dept of the FBI,Competition Bureau,Service Alberta..etc..i got taken for $179..
also if you look at the page where we entered our cc info...now it says "by continuing you agree to be charged $159 for 300 bids..so they are changing their site to make it impossible to get a refund..
now when our banks look at the site they are gonna see that and say "it tells you youre gonna be charged" but they dont know that was just added on 11-3-10 after 5pm..
hey anonymous and everybody
the reason why you dont have a receipt..is because no receipt is given for the membership...
if you read the form carefully that they are telling everybody to fill out and send in..it is only for purchased items or items you bidded on..and therefore you would have a receipt..
the only reason they are telling us to fill out from and send in and call ib 28days..is to get you off the phone and not be bothered or hear from you again for 28days..
there wording is verygood..in the terms and conditions it also says we cant sue them...
Please wait for a site operator to respond.

Carol: We have your history with us.
Carol: You just need to send the refund form to us and we will refund the money back to your account.
you: I have no history with you! However, I am very knowledgeable about the continuous scam of Swipeauctions.com. I was just curious if you enjoyed your job considering that a company that treats their customers wrong, probably treats their employees the same way.

You seem like a very calm, respectable customer service representative and it is a shame that you work for a company that treats their customers horribly and not a company that you could be of good service to customers who are appreciated.

I cancelled my credit card and was told by the FRAUD DEPT to NOT provide any more personal information to the vendor (i.e. scam artist).
I feel dumb too, but the link came through a family email. :(
