| 1243341 | 2011-11-14 03:37:00 | not a scam, but close to scam.... it's like an auction but you pay about $1 to bid. if you don't win , then you just lost $1. each bid is only a few cents more than the last. so the laptop that sold for $38 may have had 5000 bids, at sucker paying $1 each bid. the winner only pays $38 +$1 the other 5000 suckers pay $1 for nothing. the website get $5038 for a laptop that's only worth $1500 if you are the winner then it a good deal, if you are not the winner then you loose. if you run the website then you make lots of $$$$ off each auction. |

Thanks for that, in my book that is a scam. PJ |

| 1243344 | 2011-11-14 05:49:00 | Looks like Nomorerack.com is dodgy as. Lots of complaints (www.sitejabber.com) and reports of unauthorised credit card charges (www.scambook.com). They appear to have a sister website with the same bidding setup. You need to buy bids using your credit card before you can bid ... Despite having a Kiwi logo on their page (added by IP location detection no doubt), it is a Canadian company. Administrative Contact [3538991]: Nomorerack Retail Group Inc.
