So now we know that there are PennyAuctionInfo.com and PennyAuctionWatch.com that we can turn to for assistance in picking out the scams from the legalised lotteries, as what I'd like to call penny auction sites as. To those still trying their luck in the game, well good luck. Now that Christmas is approaching, there shouldn't be any shortage of bidders eh? Thnx Adam for sharing that website.

Please, whoever is reading this, please tell your friends etc, not to throw money away..even if they have a slim chance of winning the auction with a lot of bids..they will never get the merchandise.. ps: also, search whether the items on bidding are ever available in your country (since they claim that they ship the goods locally). I found that the TV models (for e.g. the Sony model) are not available in Singapore and you can never get warranty..that's one loophole they haven't plugged to con more people.. beware Just in case my other post in the other link doesn’t show up on Google search..here goes

BIDPAX is a scam..I can confirm that
having seen the ad on Facebook, I was silly enough to buy SGD 800-1000 worth of bids..the website actually says currency in SGD which made it appear legitimate..appears to be only anyway

I actually WON an auction for a PS3..it never came..
first, they gave excuses like the PS3 is not in stock in Singapore..then they offered to transfer money and asked for my Paypal account..
after giving them the email address for my Paypal, there was a crap/nonsensical/out of point email reply from them that they “fixed the error”..upon requesting for clarifications, no more emails were forthcoming..I have been sending reminder emails..for 6 weeks now after the auction ended
it’s all silence now..freaking scam

after searching on Google, one can find lots of weird sites that proclaim that Bidpax is not a scam..that’s laughable
also, there’s even one site named bidpaxnotascam or something, supposedly set up by a fan who won stuff..look, who’s so free to set up a site just to say that the bid auction site is not a scam (when in fact it is)..
buggers..

Please, whoever is reading this, please tell your friends etc, not to throw money away..even if they have a slim chance of winning the auction with a lot of bids..they will never get the merchandise..

Try contacting your Credit Company and request for a refund, since you have quite a valid reason to do so. And it may do good for others if the credit company is made aware of this scam.

They told me to email complaints@bidpax.com. That was it. I emailed them 6 times just asking them to refund my unused bids but no reply. Hmm.. makes me wonder if they are really legit that they could not respond to their customer's email. So imagine your dismay if you actually won an item and not hear back from them.
