PENNY AUCTIONS - ZIINGA A SCAM!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Yes Ziinga is a scam. I too bid and paid for the auction and shipping for two products. Then my bank account was debited twice for their so called monthly membership fees $119.99.

Apparently when you agree to their terms and conditions their fees are in there. Who has their costs hidden in the terms in conditions.

My bank enquired and this is what they were told. I emailed Ziinga 4 times and their reply was - this matter has been dealt with and my monies was not being refunded.

Scammers and rip off ar(se)tists.

THEY ARE A BUNCK OFF THIEVES HAD THE SAME EXPERIENCE AND I HAD TO REPORT FRAUD ON THE CARD.
I HAD TO WAIT 7 DAYS FOR A NEW ONE.
BUNCH OFF FUCK HEADS THEY WILL GET WHAT IS COMING

Oohhhh shit. Nearly fell for that bull aswell there. lol I signed up, two bids on a samsung(or something like that) and i won it for £2.10 and the postage was another £3.74 WTF!!! And just under that said premium membership* i was like whats that wee * there?

'with this purchase you get 7 days free membership. and after this trial you get billed £59.99 each month FOR THREE MONTHS. AND THATS BINDING!'

fuck you ziinga... i just wanted to see who views my profile the most.

Thanks for the heads up! really appreciate it!

Sheesh, your too smart. Read the fine print on a contract before a transaction? Who would have thought of that?

Btw, I heard zeek rewards was a good investment. :D

try deal dash, i won a four slice professional toaster for 15 cents, a Cuisinart Hand Blender for 63 cents and a writing tablet for 69 cents. one is in transit the other two have already arrived. i spent 32 dollars on bids and still have half of them left. best trick, bid very early in the morning when others are slumbering.

would any of you chumps... er, um, i mean "really intelligent consumers" like to invest in some prime ocean front property in kansas?

i nearly sign

come on danny, you know better. You've been around long enuf that you should be able to recognize a scam.

I don't know about this auction site but NOT all penny auction sites are scams. Please feel free to check out pennywizard.com and decide for yourself. There are many small to mid size sites who are really trying to make a living at something that is new, fun, and interesting. I think you should do more research before labeling something a scam. That doesn't mean people haven't lost money but that doesn't make it a scam.

This sounds like the BS my ex-wife fell for on those free business cards from a company with the initials VP

Ziinga is a scam a won an item then all the page wanted is that i pay i never registered no name or address how can they ask me to pay what a farce

please read before you pay for anything i read more and the note said

* Included with this payment is a 7-day free Platinum membership. Once the free days expire, normal monthly fee of C$89.99 applies. The membership is only binding for 3 months.

So here is the catch after they get your credit card number then they are entitled to deduct the 89.99 for 3 month minimum hahahahhahah what a rip off

WARNING READ THE FINE PRINT

It is not ridiculous as penny auctions do work, however this one does seem to be scammy. Think about it: the company is actually making approx. 100x times more for items (depending on their rate for bids), which makes it worth it to sell things for such a "low" price. In turn, the buyer is spending at around 50% less what they would have, as they are bidding amongst others.

don't ya think that is an insult to snookie?
