Question by Jules Carlysle: Who do I make contact with to report becoming ripped off by the penny auction website “Bid Rivals” or “Bidrivals”?
I personally won an wonderful Sony Vaio laptop and it was delivered in just 1 week and I couldn’t be far more pleased. It was pricey but fantastic entertainment, so I encouraged several buddies and household members to give it a shot also.
My son won 2 Visa prepaid cards over three weeks ago and they have not created excellent. They are for little quantities and don’t even require shipping, but following dozens of attempts to explanation with them, they have continued to disregard him.
I’m completely up in the air here, I was content with my experience and my prize that was well worth 10x that of my son’s…But their behaviour right here is totally suspect.
If they are truly legit, I would be completely pleased to continue investing cash on their site, but the red flags are flying correct now.
I’ve created a total account of our encounter for a major newspaper…so appear for it. It is called Bidder Beware.
In the meantime, who do I complain to?
The FBI internet fraud division? They are multinational…so, CIA? But we are in Canada…Does INTERPOL deal with internet fraud? The firm is primarily based in Australia…possibly Australia has someone.
Does anybody know how I can inquire about the legitimacy and probable fraudulent dealing of the internet site www.Bidrivals.com – It seems Paypal also has a difficulty with them. They flagged us each for “possibly dangerous” exercise, but the only activity on both account were our payments to Bidrivals.

Possibly the finest thing to do is give them as significantly damaging publicity as achievable. Ultimately men and women will realise that there are better websites to go to for this type of activity.
My expertise with them has been undesirable. I tried some auctions for bid deals and utilised the Get Now choice to get some of the ones I’d made numerous bids for but misplaced. The Purchase Now function appeared a great thought so the up coming auction I experimented with was a Amazon voucher for £15. I bid up to £15 then dropped out assuming I could Acquire Now as it had plainly mentioned “Get Now £15″ as part of the description of the merchandise. However, I could discover no way to full the purchase now. Following generating enquiries I was informed that Get Now was not offered on vouchers and visas. I’d examine all the Get Now policies and there was no mention of it. As the internet website obviously exhibits “Acquire Now” underneath every merchandise it looks clear to say it is not obtainable is a scam. I asked for my bids back again and they repeatedly refused.
If you are considering of employing the web site, really don’t. The principles are not clearly defined. They can make up rules on the spot and there is absolutely nothing you can do. How can you use a web site that does not outline the guidelines and you only discover out soon after you have misplaced your funds. Their guidelines say “You in no way have to walk away empty handed from Get Now auctions.” which clearly is not genuine. In simple fact, they sent me an electronic mail of a number of other restrictions of what is feasible with Buy Now none of which are defined on the internet site. E.g. “If you elect to purchase Merchandise immediately by deciding on the “Buy Now” choice you are generating an supply to us to obtain the Merchandise. No contract for the acquire of Merchandise will appear into existence right up until we have reviewed and accepted your purchase. We may possibly decline an buy exactly where we think that we have sensible grounds for undertaking so. We will notify you whether we have accepted or declined your purchase as soon as we are in a position to do so.” I interpret that as stating they can do whichever they like.
