DealFun.com is a new penny auction site growing in popularity. Penny auction websites claim that users can win new, popular, and expensive items for extremely discounted prices.
Deal Fun allows new users to purchase bid packages ranging in cost from $69.00 to $119.00. The more expensive bid package you purchase, the lower the cost of the individual bids.
The smallest initial package offers 115 bids at 60 cents per, and the largest package offers 200 bids at 35 cents per. After you purchase your initial bid package, you may purchase subsequent packages priced at 60 cents per bid.
Each bid you make on an item raises the price of the item one cent. The winner of each auction must pay the winning auction price within 72 hours in order for their item to be sent to them.
No unused bids or bid packages are eligible for refund, however, so consider this when deciding which bid package to purchase.
I have my proof that I sent them the $99.00 via my credit card-- but what can anyone do. Is the government going after this illegal business? Does anyone know more, or whom to contact.
I have not reported to BBB -- is that where I should report? I hope someone can respond to my questions on how to track down and hold these individuals accountable. Thanks.
