Bidrack.com review: Scammer Site 62

You are right when you say that you believe that registration page has changed from when you first signed up. I also was drawn to that website 2 weeks ago by advertisements that keep creeping into my gmail account. Some days there were 3 of them placed in the top, bottom and side areas of my reader? When I first looked, I filled in my email and bidder name desired but was then transferred to a second page that had a small disclosure of bid pack purchases available and one was already pre selected and I was unable to change that default to any less expensive pack. I will say that page 2 is very busy with bells and whistles and videos playing, all to distract your attention from areas of the page BidRack didn't want you to notice. I don't like any of these deceptive practices used to lead or steer people on any website so I did not complete that form to register for "Free".
I did check back to that same "Free" registration last week. It has changed from my first visit just as you describe.

Bidrack.om baits people with the display of desirable items, i.e. ipods, ipads etc. at ridiculously low prices and invites you to bid too. the site has a large "Register for Free" area. I registered, I thought it was free and gave a credit card in case I won a bid. I did not see the displays that said they would you would need to purchase bids. Nor was the cost of registering your card prominent. If I had seen the cost for the bids and to register the card, I would not have registered the credit card. I checked my credit card account a couple of houfs after doing this and found a $99.00 charge pending. I immediately called Bidrack and explained the situation. they said to send an loo e-mail requesting the refund and that shw would send me one too. I did this and was told we don't make refunds (basically for any reason).

I finally looked at their website again tonite. I did not sign in, nor will I ever sign into that website again because I don't trust them. Tonite when I looked at their website, it looked different. The costs were more plainly displayed and couldn't be missed. I don't think I was so tired the first time I looked at iit that I would have missed the displays I saw tonight. It has an option on the website for the number of bids and costs to purchase so that you can bid. It selects one for you, but you can change it. I am sure this was not the case last week because I certainly would not have selected the $99.00 packlage. I would have selected the $27.00 package if I was going to pay anything at all.

I was sent an e-mail from a friend saying he got a good deal on a zilco(?) android for $19.95. I clicked on the website thinking it was what he recommended. Against my better judgment, I registered with the company. This involved giving out my credit card information. When I did this the company charged me $99. I tried to get a refund but they refused. This is a scam of the highest degree. Not only was my friend's e-mail hacked into but mine also...would like to see these people caught and jailed and tossed out of the internet. What I would like is my $99 back.

We saw your comment, and I am sorry for your frustration with Bidrack.com. I am seeing others going through the same thing you have.

They have submitted their claim on our website in hopes to get enough claims about Quibids to start a Class Action Lawsuit.

Oh, how disappointing. Am I reading this correctly!? Please correct me if I am wrong. Is this post from scambook.com trying to form a class action suit? Now I feel like an idiot. It seems as scambook is using their complaints to for law suits and gain money. This can't be true. How super crappy if so. Talk about ethics!? And again, correct me if I am wrong did they say bidrack.com and then say Quibids. How many companies are they doing this to.

I'm sure this post will be deleted in no time.

And it also leads me to think. How many positive comments have there been about bidrack that have been deleted?

This Co. should and will be shut down. They have taken money from my account without my permission, I had to close my account. I tried getting ahold of their 24/7 suppoet, that was a joke and a waste of time, I was either put on hold for hours or hung up on. You must work for them along with the other people who have made positive comments.

Bid Rack is a scam, Zbiddy, and so is Quibid. Your "friend" got free bid points for referring you and getting you to sign up.

And new one's are popping up every week on TV looking for suckers who think they can get a Ford Mustang for $120.00 or an Iphone for $27.00, or an Android for $19.95.

They cover their butts with the terms and conditions. They are not hidden. When you accept their "terms and conditions", you agreed to be ripped off by them.

Contact your CC company and your Attorney Generals Office and file a complaint.

I agree with the complaint above and your comment, JKDE, up to the point of "When you accept their "terms and conditions", you agreed to be ripped off by them". I would agree with you on that point if those "terms and conditions" were made with a legitimately registered company or website that is not fraudulently withholding vital information of their true identity or location. Would you feel that you are bound by any "contract" with a say, John Smith of Oklahoma City, when you later find that you were deceived by a flimflam man, aka Matt Bunko, from Seattle WA.? Does BidRack disclose in their mighty "terms and conditions" document, who they are accurately, truthfully, or even at all?

A second point I would ask in the area of contract law is "When was the last time you ever read a printed document of contract that states that one party has the right to modify the terms at any time and at their discretion? All contracts are between two or more parties and fully outline the terms as they exist at the time of signing, and can only be modified afterwards by agreement of all parties to that contract. That alone is reason to file that TOS rag with your used tissues in the round receptacle.

bidrack is charging people $99.00 for signing up on their site. This is a scam that should be invistigated. 2923e

bidrack.com charged me $99.00 just to register and I bidded one time. It's total fraud, the fine print said you are paying $99.00 to bid many had written on this complaint forum. Don't register with me, you ended up having to cancel credit card. Bank of America refused to reversed the $99.00 charges because it said I willingly consented to $99.00 charge. So, beware of your bank at least my bank which is Bank of America won't help you either despite my file of fraudulence charge claim with bidrack.com.

Bidrack. com is fraudulent company. Don’t do any transactions with this company. How do you think they can sell an Ipad 2 for less than 90$ ? Because they catch a large number of people with a 100$ initial bid package. That's how they make money and this is clearly fraud.

I took this complaint from someone else as this is exactly what just happened to me yesterday...

"I registered today with BidRack.com, which I thoght it was FREE, but then I realised I was charged 99 USD! In fact, later I realised, when I simulated the registration process all over again, that the registration page was misleading, making you beleive that you are finalizing your registration process by entering your credit card number, while you are in fact about to buy credits. The option was preselected, and the table with credit options is the smallest on the page, almost BELLOW the credit card form data, very discret, put in a way that you dont see it while beggining to fill out the form. That's why so many people are surprised finding out that they have actually bought credits, while thinking that they are registering for free. I wrote an email, demanding the total refund."
Don't do anything with BidRack, this is a really big SCAM web site! Thank you all and good luck !"

I along with many many others have been charged $99. They are a scam and should have a class action lawsuit filed against them. If there is an attorney willing to take them on they'd get more than enough people that have been ripped off. I for one would join the suit. Beware beware they are after the quick ripoff. Here is a website for anyone that has been hit with their charge. www.ConsumerComplaintAgency.org It's obvious that with their responses to everyone that they do not care about their reputation but the quick $$.

Site stated it was free to sign up, I didn't select to buy any bidding packages. Then I seen I had credits automatically added to my account. Worried I called their customer service line and found out that they (bidrack.com) had selected a 99.00 bidding package for me. Thats like walking into Walmart and just to walk in and view, That they force you to buy 99.00 worth of merchandise.. This is an OUTRAGE! There has to be some kind of law they are breaking!

They took $99.00 from me, refused a refund, so i got my bank involved and I then called the company and threaten a charge back to there acount, and guess what, they gave me a refund right away, problem solved ...Roy Young

Is there anything we can do about that company? I have the same problem. I make the transfer of 200 euros and after 16 days with no response about my order, they told me that my package is held in the China Customs and for it to be released, i have to pay 160 euros more...within 2 days!

call your credit card company and dispute the charges, bidrack is a known scam site the credit card companies should have no problem refunding your money.

Did the same to me. Took my money out of my Discover Card. It says we except Master Card and Visa but not Discover Card. I complained why they took $99.00 but without results. I used the bids but only won cheap Item. I won more then 10 Items but never received them. I won them back in June 2011 and this is August 17th 2011. I complained about 50 times and all I got was excuses. This rip off cost me close to $200.00 because the cost of the shipping charges. I'm filing a complaint against bid rack. Please do yourself a favor and stay away from them.

I agree. its a real shame. The more advanced we become in technology the more out of control everything gets and more thieves come out of the woodwork. Never would have spent 99.00 on anything let alone an internet auction I knew little of how it worked. was just looking! things r difficult enough in tis country for everyone just trying to keep food on the table and a roof over our heads, then we have these A-holes predators just lying in wait for an opportunity to scam and rip off people :(

This company is a fraud. I have spent hundreds of dollars on bid packs and won lots of auctions...THE ITEMS NEVER SHIP!
It has been almost three months and I still have not received ONE ITEM! They do not respond to emails and forget about calling their customer service line. It is a call center in Alabama with less than intelligent customer service reps that give you no information. However they will send you a refund for the 25 cents that you won the item for...but forget about the hundreds of dollars that you spend buying the bid packs. Please learn from all of our mistakes this site is fraudulent and I cannot believe it is still up and people are still bidding after all these complaints! And I apologize for your awful experience if you happen to call in and have to speak to Joanna- OY! What a gem!

Sadly, my experience with Bidrack is the same as everyone else's on here. They took my $99; that's all there is to say about that. I did win one auction, for a Sponge Bob Squarepants Watch for my son. The bid for the watch was like $.38. Shipping and handling was $9.95. It took 8 weeks to arrive, though they charged my credit card immediately. I swear, I can't imagine how I'd feel if I had bid $400 on a computer and this happened. This place is a total rip off.

This site has been planing to shut down and rip off all of its customers for months. I'm sure at first, they were lagit. But some where along the line they decided to scam all of us. they are an auction site that you buy bids from and then bid on items. the problem is, they don't send you the items that you won. It's been way over two months since I won my first item and I still haven't received it. so far, I have won 15 items and only received one out of fifteen. I have spent well over a thousand dollars on bids and paying for these items. how they have gotten away with this for so long. i don't know. but I hope that the feds get involved with this. site. if anyone know how to report them. and who to report them to. please let us know by posting here. thanks much
