I thought I was just registering and was immediately charged $149.00. I call and spoke to someone for a refund and they said I had to send email. The response on the email said it was non-refundable... I talked to my bank about disputing it, but waited. I saw they had a compaq computer on auction... my laptop is 8 yrs old, so I decided to bid on it. I waited until it got down to 2 minutes and started bidding. I was online for over 3 hours becuase everytime someone bid, it increased the time. It finally got to under 30 sec... even then went on another 30 minutes... finally, it counted down to 0 sec... with me being the last bidder... the words "Ended" popped up... I was estastic... winning the first time... then the timer reset to 2 minutes and started all over... I sent an email stating what happened requesting that if I had not won the computer to refund my money... the reply didn't address the fraudulent action of the auction, just stated that I could not get a refund of money... It is definitely a scam... don't even try to participate in the auction... I am disputing the charge thru my bank today!
