on 2/14/11Has anyone actually gotten a refund
From bidmacs.com???? I just w
Ant to know if theirs hope!
My Niece came in for a visit and wanted to look at a couple sights on Amazon... a screen kept popping up telling her she could bid for free if they would put in basic information. She was on for a short time with me watching... all she did was click the flashing items. It looked like a game. She did not agree to purchase anything. When we got our bill we had a charge for $149.00. I called BIDMACS and was told that the 149.00 was and automatic charge when you agreed to sign up... all she agreed to was using the "free bids". This is a SCAM. I was told that they would send the charge to the dispute dipartment but would probably be rebilled later because we used the bids! Of course she used the bids... we were told they were free on the initial invite! We we looking for cameras and it pulled up. I next contacted our credit card company who acted like he couldn't do anything because we put our information in. This is a major scam. You can contact the FBI Scam unit at SaltLakeCity@ic.fbi.gov
After I got stung by bidmacs.com I am afraid to click on anything on my computer.
I had the EXACT same experience, I just wonder why they went to such lengths to "explain" to me that my refund was "being processed", "encountered a glitch that is being fixed" etc! CRIMINALS!
