Hello... I'm looking for others who have used the penny auction site, "Bidzaroo". I was completely screwed over by them, and I am OUTRAGED. I'm trying to decide in which type of legal direction I'm going to take this in, and would really like to know of other's experience's with Bidzaroo, as I'm sure you were more than likely completely robbed just as I was. I am so thoroughly ticked off, I'm looking to take these crooks down in a big way and I am willing and able to invest time and money to do so... Two weekends ago, I bought a bid pack and won an auction for a camcorder. I don't know how, but they overcharged my credit card by $988! It has been 12 day's and I have sent 6 letters with every one of them expressing that it urgently needed to be corrected and refunded immediately.
With that said, I completely understand that over sights and mistakes can happen. Especially with this time of the year, and the hoards of people trying to get good deals with sites like Bidzaroo offering unbelievably good deals etc etc... When I first noticed this major oversight of them deducting $988 from my debit card, I immediately took action and submitted an email asking for urgent assistance. By the 5th day and the 4th email with no response, I was starting to get pretty upset. I had not Christmas shopped yet for my children, and the money they took from me was what I was going to use to spend on them.
Every single attempt of contacting them has been ignored, and the camcorder shows the status of "paid" yet, "not shipped". Which in its on is frustrating as I intended on giving that to my Husband for Christmas, and it was in no way going to make it in time for Christmas, even though it was paid for 2 WEEKS AGO. This is unbid/ask bounceacceptable business.
As it stands now, Bidzaroo has been contacted 10 times, and it has been 2 weeks, and still not a single response has been given. Bidzaroo has come so close to completely ruining my family's Christmas. That money that they over charged us has completely depleted our bank account and caused us to not ONLY be unable to afford Christmas presents for our 2 children, but it caused other bills and payments to bounce and has put us entirely in the red zone. We were late in our house and car payment, and were charged with late fees and bounced checks. As horrible as that is, it doesn't compare to the fact that my children might have gone without having Christmas presents. Thank GOD we keep a credit card in case of emergency's, and the kids are going to get their gifts that they had hoped for all year.
I am so upset with Bidzaroo, I can't even see straight. This was a painfully hard lesson to learn that, " If it's too good to be true, it probably is." If you haven't signed up for this horrific, malicious site, STAY far far far away. Bidzaroo will rob you, and hang you out to dry. If you have had an experience with them, I would very much like to hear what you have to say about what has happened, as I'm sure it wasn't a good outcome. (However, I truly hope nobody has a story like mine.) Just in case others fell victim to Bidzaroo's criminal antics, I want to form some sort of group of people who have been scammed and screwed over by Bidzaroo's vicious and defrauding website and it's corrupted owners, and take them to the justice they deserve; I don't ever want anyone to have to go through what I have been through with these demoralized crooks who run Bidzaroo. Hopefully with doing this, maybe some rebid/ask bouncepair can be done to those of us who have been obviously embezzled. I would like to add that I have disputed the charges from Bidzaroo, and all of their heinous charges have been credited back to my account. Although the late fees and bounced checks have not been reimbursed. Which actually isn't my concern in doing this.. My doing this, is is to prevent Bidzaroo from hurting and robbing another person again, and hopefully to help the people who did fall prey to Bidzaroo's thievery, to get their money back. SHAME ON THE COWARDLY CROOKS RUNNING BIDZAROO. YOU WILL NOT GET AWAY WITH THIS, I PROMISE!!
I agree with you that this is a scam site. I have contacted my bank card companies fraud departments and they are looking into the site, and have canceled my cards so they cannot charge anything else. They will not hold me responsible for the charges because these people or person does not respond to emails or calls. It's very disturbing, and as you said; an expensive lesson. I hope the thieves are caught and prosecuted.
I have been cheated, also. It was easy to find the owner of bidzaroo.com: Jose Rivera. I am 99% sure this is the Jose Rivera in San Diego aka Jay Styles (http://jaystyles.com). It appears he is a convicted spammer.I found this phone number for him: (619) 684-6737 but i haven't gotten up the nerv
I won an auction item (gift card) 3 weeks ago and have not received it yet. I did win smaller gift cards and received them within 1 week. I just emailed them asking where the card is, we'll see if they answer.
