GrabSwag Penny Auctions

GrabSwag Penny Auctions

Gainsville, Florida

Someone told me about this site so I signed up with them. After they took my money (99.00) to start bidding I left the site because I was comming back to it when I had more time. I tried to get back on the site to start bidding and it would not let me log back in. It keeps shooting me back to the new log in site where you have to purchase another $99.00 worth of points and like the other complaint none of their contact email or phone # work. I tried everything to get in touch with them and nothing works. This would not happen if this was a reputable site. I guess I learned my lesson but is is scarry to think that this so called company has my bank info. If anyone has any suggestions please let me know.

Signed,
Live and learn

I called their number and yelled them out then I threatened them that if I did not get a full refund not 50% what they said they would I would be doing what I am doing this minute letting others online know about them. Teir number is 1-888-467-4217 and demanded a manager because the girl that answers will get on your nerves fast.I am now waiting to see what happends.
I fell for the grabswag bait & switch deal yesterday.

All i saw on their now spam window was 10 free bids when signing up. I don't recall seeing anything about the $99.00 fee.
Since I did not see anything about the sign up fee , I continued to register.
I filled in all required personal info and C Card info.
When I finished the Card info the grabswag site did "Not" give me an option to ok or cancel and instantly charged me & congratulated me for being one more fool.
I called the grabswag service dept and was told thatr when I agreed to sign up and provided my Card info it was a binding agreement and the $99.00 charge would not be refunded.
Am I blind or did I not see the fine print with this deal ?? I did not see anything in the First signup windows about the 10 free bids costing $99.oo. Anyone else have this problem ??.
I would not have signed up for the Free $99.00 membership if I had an option to cancel before I saw that there wasn't even a Submit Button.
