提醒 quibids 骗局

billzhao

很奇怪，明显是骗局，为什么电视还给他们做广告？
这不是明显纵容或者一起欺骗吗？

关于QUIBIDS scam的例子数不胜数，感兴趣的可以去搜一搜。

发这个帖子的目的，是提醒一下，不要好奇，好奇的结果就是受骗。

是个竟买网站，比方说 ipad 22 dollars 可以买下来。好像很便宜，但是其实是骗人的... 虽然网站看着很正式，电视也一直在做广告。

那天好奇，注册了个账号，什么也没有做，就被无故扣了63 dollars.  一查，被买了个 packet.

一个bid 0.6 dollars，100个bids正好 60 dollars。

点一次要花一个bid，

实际上很骗人的，我两眼就看出来了，就没有下注，因为下注也是白下，很少能成功。

Quibids is like a game you pay to play at a carnival. You buy some balls and throw at the bottles hoping you’ll win a prize. But each ball you throw costs you money and eventually you may “win” the prize only to discover you paid more for those balls than the prize was worth. I don’t play carnival games.

今天早晨给他们聊天了，下面是记录：

' ^3 w( v1 F" o5 y9 |* l: b6 a+ h我：I need an explanation from your website why I was sold 100 bids without my consent. This is not the right way to do business, isn't it?
对方代表: I apologize for any confusion. However, in the registration process when you entered your information, you were directed to the big blue box, which states that you will be purchasing the Starter Bid pack. It also states this to the left of the blue box as well. You should now be able to participate in the auctions you see on the website.

好在他们给退了，因为我没有用那些bids。

对方说： At any time, any unused purchased bids remaining in your account can be refunded without a hassle at your request.

我：Ok，please refund me the 100 bids

对方马上说：I have processed a refund for the remaining unused bids in your account. Please allow up to 2 business days for the refund to show up on your bank or credit card statement. While the refund processes, your account will remain disabled. If you would like to reopen your account at any time, just let us know!

我也在电视台看过广告，看了些介绍。打开网站看了看要注册。于是在注册前先GOOGLE了一下，发现很多揭露这个网站是骗局的帖子。就放弃注册的想法了。

老白去过这个网站，基本上是你看好的东西，你买不上，你能买上的，都是鸡肋！

俺也在电视上看的广告，当时就GOOGLE 了，很多人说是骗局的，就没注册
