  • Speedybuys

9/9/10

I responded to an ad while browsing and this took me to a Gazette article and it looked like a legitimate experience of winning items by bidding on overstocked items.
I registered for it and gave my bank card info thinking they needed it in case I won a bid. I didn't stay on the bid page long because I didn't see anything I wanted and didn't quite understand it. I later looked online to see whether it Speedybuys was a legitimate business and saw a lot of very upset people having been scammed. I saw that it mentioned a hidden charge of $149.00. I called their number and the girl said that I had agreed to pay for 300 bids and that it was on the registration page. I never saw it and asked that I withdraw my registration. She said I had to send an email and that perhaps they'd refund the money. I had no idea that my account had been CHARGED! I sent the email and I got a reply that I had agreed to the charge on the registration page. I called my bank and if the charge goes through, I can call back to report that it is a fraudulent business. I have written to Speedybuys and told them that I will make a report to my bank, the BBB and to online reports about them.
