Bozbids

In my opinion Bozbids is a scam. Here is my experience. I sent an email to a person on *****slist asking about an item they had for sale. The person responded that the item was sold but they purchased it on BozBids for a great price. I went to the Bozbids web page and read everything.

On the main web page I was amazed at how few bids were placed for supposedly closed auctions. An I-Pad closed for under .00 worth of bids. The way the auction is set up a person signs up, buys bids, each penny bid you buy costs around sixty cents. So the above I-Pad would have raised for Bozbids .00 or 4000 pennies multiplied by sixty cents per bid equaling ,400.00

On the main page BozBids provides information about “BidButler Autobidding”. BidButler is great; a person can set a price range and the auto bids would be placed for you.
To me it made sense that I could watch the price of closed items then set up BidButler for that price range.

I thought I would give it a try and bought some bids.

As soon as I signed up I had access to the “real” live auctions. I was shocked at how much higher the bids for items are on the live screen verses the main web site. On the live auction screen an I-Pad had more than triple the amount of bids.

OK I could work with that, I would set up the BidButler around what price I thought an item would close for.
Here is the scam part, my opinion, I found out by Chatting live with BozBids that BidButler is only for some items. I browsed through many categories of item up for auction, and noticed that all the desired items did not offer BidButler.
I asked the BozBids chat person to show me where this important information was disclosed? The answer back was, it is not disclosed. I would have not signed up if this important information was disclosed.

I did not use my bids. I realized I was scammed after requesting a refund. Both the live chat person and the person on the 1-888-468-3719 number told me no refunds.

I called my credit card company canceled that card and filed a charge dispute. Citi Bank has already removed the charge and will work with Bozbids.

I feel foolish and should have done more research before buying bids.

Now that I search the web I find many people with similar bad experiences.

I hope this helps keep others from making the same mistake.

It’s a scam. Here’s the email I got from *****s list, and I’ve confirmed the same email from others. If they were legit they would at least sell intro bids in small quantities for users to first see the actual listings. The person who doesnt realize this and thinks it normal to just by 100 bids without see what your actually getting is a fool (sorry!).
"Hey,
Sorry it took me a few days to respond, but I sold it already, you might want to check out BozBids I picked up 2 brand new ones for under .
Since the holidays no one is online, no one is bidding, it’s like xmas all over again.
The trick is to bid only when the counter hits 4 seconds.
If I can do it anyone can. Bozbids also has a Guarantee
Good luck

I asked about an item from ***list same way and got the exact same response from ‘Janet’.
Thanks for giving me the heads up. Obviously if it sounds too good to be true, it most likely is.

Here’s the email:

Yep, same thing here. Inquiry to a "seller" on *****s list dot org (NYC area) about a low-priced barely-used iMac resulted in the exact same "Janet" letter. I tried out the site, more out of curiosity than anything, and after two afternoons of examining bid patterns and bidders closely, am completely and definitely convinced it is a "botted" site with NO actual humans hitting "Bid No

   Based on http://solutions.my-ai.com/how-can-i-identify-if-an-offer-is-a-scam/ the site seems legit.

   From what you say, I don’t see what could really qualify as a scam. It’s merely typical advertising.

   Have you ever seen a car ad that tells you all the maintenance fees? They wouldn’t sell any even if it was the best car on the market.
