[Resolved]  BIDS10 — Fraud in bidding

Address:Andhra Pradesh

This is what happened to my BIDS10.COM account.
There were many instances in which i lost but i thought that it was my bidding that was faulty.Then this happened

samsung galaxy note : went for Rs.1510 but i was bidding and bidding and bidding for the item and there was 6 seconds still left i clicked the bid button more than 6 times and i still lost and i couldn't understand why i had lost.same day apple i phone went for Rs.114

samsung galaxy tab 7.5": went for Rs.541 this item was at Rs.415 and the timer hit 0 seconds and i thought at last i won something,a whole minute elapsed before the timer restarted and guess the price, Rs.416 and there were still some bids left in my account and so continued bidding till Rs.539 until all my bids were done and guess what it went for the other person at 541.same day samsung galaxy sII went for Rs.141

so in conclusion i just want to say something that these are some instances i saw.i sincerely advice to stay away from the website BIDS10.COM but it is your money and so you can go through the hassle and in the end turn up empty handed and curse your own bad luck or you can wise up and heed my advice and save your money and go to the shop and buy it.

@dssridhar the below message is on every auction please check the note and see, if your session times out then there is no point your bid will get placed.

Important -- How it works

Bids10.com offers Live Bid Auctions where WINNER is the bidder who is the last bidder when the timer Hits Zero.

During Power Time(Last 15 Sec) - Bid Time Increases 15 sec for every bid place and the winner is declared if theer is no bid and the timer hits zero.


Note

Your session expires if you do not place any bid and just open the page untill 30 Min. also note that the timer would be running but your session would be closed, so please relogin.


When your session is not running you would be able to see the timer but once you press bid button your bid would not be accepted.



If you have enough Bids remaining you can bid again...and again...and again!

To win on bids10 you have to Be the last bidder.
I just talk 2 Ikram Ali from BIDS 10 through phone conversation and now m satisfied...
Dey just sort out my problem...
And i am okay wid dem now...
i won a Nokia N8 and a philips DVD players from bids10.com...
Don't you know that it is a fraud website...



i am really sorry to hear that but you should have been more careful before buying bids on such a bids10.com scamster website. I am sorry it was my bad for not bringing this issue.my laptop is Intel Core i7-2640M processor 3.50 GHz with 8gb ram even with that i was scammed on bids10.com. with that itself i could not win anything.

Anyway here goes...

This type of bidding concept is becoming a big trend on the rise. There is a small shroud of legitimacy, however, it is hidden like a needle in a haystack of fine print, and deceptive wording. Too many people fail to read that fine print, or do their homework and get screwed.

This site (bids10.com) places desirable products and services for its members to "bid" for. On first glance, the prices at which previous winning bids have secured for items seems ridiculously cheap. Hence you will be tempted to purchase bids from them once your free bids from joining are used up.

BEWARE OF THIS SCAM!!!

There is no notice what the minimum bid price is that they are looking for, or even if there is an existing one.So when the last few seconds of the bid arrives, and you place what you think is your winning bid, THE TIMER RESTARTS AGAIN!This is a complete scam, it tricks you into buying more bids!

If you get scammed, there's nothing that can be done about it.

The old adage of "If its too good to be true" pokes it's head up again. Read the fine print, do some research and for god sakes...be careful where you put your credit/debit card info/bank accts/etc. Hmm...i've also spent some money but realised the winnings are manipulated.

They use bots to bring in genuine people to pay their bids to them and end the auction by 'winning' the items back themselves. They never had to even purchase the items in the first place.It just takes sometime to analyze and watch the site to understand how these scammers run it.Don't be fooled by greed just because they are 'cheap'! It is a gamble of your money anyway.

I myself have been fooled more than three times. i had more than 520 bids available and there was 9 seconds left on the timer and i clicked the bid button continuosly but to no avail, it went to some scripts/bots. There was another time where i was the last bidder and the timer went to 0 and i waited 11 seconds before the timer started again from 15 seconds could you imagine the shock on my face, here's what i say "THIS WEBSITE IS PURELY A SCAM AND DONOT EVER EVER GIVE YOUR HARD EARNED MONEY TO THIS SCAMSTER WEBSITE".

In a nutshell, the more popular an item with numerous bidders, the higher the profit margin for the owners.I hope I did not analyse right and I truly hope many people out there do not get yourself into this.To the website owners, this is an un-ethical way to make money.

Btw, I reckon at least 99% of those winners are all GHOST BIDDERS created by the owner.Why is it the law has not caught up with these scumballs? Cheating, conning, manipulating, scammers...etc is against the law. So why are they still operating?

Please advise a complaint site for the government to check on the crooked practices they should be made to refund the money to all customers who they have earned money from This site is a hoax just observe how the bids works, and it is artifically being played out by the owners

They cheat us and make a killing from people like you that bought into it. Some will even go as far as to say I love this site! because it has no autobidder like many other sites. just create id's then they themselves question and they themselves answer but with an different id.Anyone can do this... so easy to make money. If heat gets too much, then shut scam auction down and create a new one. Repeat process.

Happy scammin'!

Plain Scam at work. SURE WIN business model for web owner at the expense of many bidders whom is going to pay a price for it. They can manipulate the outcome. If a particular auction is going to close with insufficient bidders/interests to even cover the cost of the item, the administrator can use a fictitious/bot/ghost account to win the bids.

No one will ever know the winner except the owner. In the event of a "real" winner, the owner can simply purchase the physical goods and have it delivered to the real winner. Anyway, the owner would have profited several thousands to lakhs of rupees net after deducting the cost from that item. So they are "right" in a sense to advocate the point that they are "GENUINE" business.There is no regulation nor audit. But some simple maths/figures may prove that this business is too good not to be missed. Especially by people with no conscience.

that there are numerous Bidders that were always bidding BUT never seem to win anything. It's simple to draw the conclusion that such websites are proned to manupilation and if consumers choose to bid, they will be wasting their precious money as the website owners cannot 'Close' the auctions until they breakeven at the very least.

It's quite sad as cheaters are not exposed or audited Haha...there are only 2 kinds of people that bids.

1) losers - thinking that they can win something for nothing!! There is no free lunch on earth. Websites like this had scripts/bots built-in to autobid but not available to you and me.
2) crazy people - get a life!! U will end up losing ur hardearned money!! The winners could jolly well be a NON-human - Website autobidder!!

Either way, you are SCREWED!!!

The so called contests is purely a scam..scam..scam
for ex. there is a Samsung Galaxy note which the user has won, but he keeps bidding for the same product again and again and again...(mrp.37000 well the website owner might say the first one for him (because he won the contest) then his wife then his daughter/son get my drift where i am going with this.. )
then there is samsung galaxy ace that went for 5 (mrp 16000 well the website owner might say No one was bidding that's why it went so cheap, yeah... come on guys gimme a break)
and samsung galaxy y went for 516 (mrp 7225 Now you can see what i am talking about look at the mrp of the previous one and this one (or) this is what happened the scripts/bots saw that there was no one to bid and decided that it was a waste of time)

LOWEST UNIQUE BID...
then there is the lowest auction that is another scam...
bcos there is ony one problem with that, whichever amount you bid it says not unique, finally it will be given to someone (scripts/bots).at least with the other auction you can see that it is you against the scripts/bots but with this there is only one winner (scripts/bots) everybody else will lose, on the whole this is another scam...


If you guys realised the trends of the winners, its either:

1. The high bidders could be scripts/bots
2. The 'usual' bidders - check out the winning id (different names, could be the same person behind aka fake accounts)

Do you ever QUESTION this:

1. Why the ppl using has SO MUCH BIDS? you can easily spot some...bidding for even 9 hours at a stretch.
2. What is the reason of bidding if you have so much money? Can't you BUY it elsewhere?
3. The history of the bids are always a PORTION, very easy to find out who are the fake bidders aka manipulators...

To the website owners:

1. Show full history - if we are talking about transparency
2. Get the owners to post pictures with the winning prize, with their phone numbers - this can be included in your T&C - simple right?
3. Post the product delivery details state, phone number (because we can talk with the user and cross check with the user whether the product was actually delivered, of course you can cross check the phone no with the state)

Even after all this if you are not sure don't part with your hard earned money to bids10.com. Finally just one thing the person before me said that NOTE went for 1510 you are not right bcos 1510 X 10 would be 15100 and on top of that it will go to some autobidder/bots.

Finally i just want to say this to the website owners "GET A JOB RATHER THAN CONNING PEOPLE WITH THIS SCHEMING, CHEATING, MANIPULATING"

Pls judge for yourself. Good Day.
thanks.
I TOTALLY DISAGREE WITH THIS WRITER

IT WAS A WONDERFUL ANALYSIS OF BIDS10.COM but at the same time there the writer has not understood that there are

1. An auction cannot be won without placing 10 minimum bids
2. If someone has bought 1000 bids and there are two people who have bought bids then the auction goes untill 2000 Rs(PRACTICALLY SPEAKING).
3. The auction means after the timer ends the power bidding starts means on every bid the auction ads 15 sec and you need to be the last person when the timer hits zero and there is no point in bidding before the power bidding time and wasting bids this is very clear in the site .

Rating the second point that means that you have to be there untill last to win a auction so sometimes it goes for more and sometimes it closes at low .

I personally interacted with many bidders and winners.

and auction is a game and winners win only when they play good and win good. as for autobots it can be there or not but even i have won two times ao personally i trust this site and i have recommended to many people and out of 20 people i recommended there were atleast 4 winners that means that there is a good win ratio.

The writer spent a great deal of time in analyzing ways why he has not won but i hope he has analyzed some ways of winning.

TIPS AND TRICKS

Auctions
1. dont bid agaisnt every bid the other person places just watch the auction, if you are sure that there are only you and only one person then we need to go all out .
2. if you are going all out dont wait untill last sec's
3. have abundance of bids not these 10 free bids

Unique auctions
1. judge the mood of the auction by placing bids in a interval of 50's or 100's i.e if you place 0.11 then place like this 0.11, 1.11, 2.11, 3.11, 4.11... Once you see any of your bids is open then before 5 min of the closure block out the numbers before you .

i have judged the auctions on bids10.com and FOUND IT SATISFACTORY and TRUE and many of my friends the same .

I FOUND NO MANIPULATIONS NOR CHEATING AT BIDS10.COM

I FOR MY EXPERIENCE HAVE FOUND THE SITE TO BE TRUE AND CORRECT IN ITS BUSINESS MODEL.
Samsung galaxy tab 7.5: This was my fourth instance.my session was definetely not timed out.when i bid, it accepted my bid at 415 meaning that i was logged in and then it waited for a whole minute before it got updated with 416. finally i continued bidding till all the bids were done and the last amount i bid was 539 still my session being logeed in. meaning that i was definitely CHEATED at 415.Just tell me one thing with my session being still logged in why i didn't win this product?????

samsung galaxy note : This was my third instance. I bid 1509 meaning that i was still logged in and was bidding and bidding and bidding at 1510 from 6 seconds but it still went to the other person at 1510.I definetely felt cheated again.

Dont get me started with this bcos i sent an email to bids10.com and waited for 2 days, and then tried destryworld.com and added a comment and once again waited for another 2 days before posting my complaint in https://www.consumercomplaints.in
I did a continuous watch on Bids10.com for approx. 15 days and found the following:
1)- 99% of Bids have closing times after 5.30 pm. (I never understood the exact reason behind it.)
2)- 99% of products are repetitive.
3)- While bidding at last moment, if any new bidder joins, the auction closing time increases and it lasts for min. 2-3 hrs. but if there is no any new bidder, the auction will get close at lowest value (within 3 - 4 min.). It clearly shows that Bids10 has at least 10 ghost bidder and most of the product winner is no one else but Bids10 only.
4)- Bids10 open announcement is: "When you win get the Products free. Free Products on Winning Bid" This challenge-full statement clearly shows that winning a product at Bids10 is not so easy, then how does a person win a product at Rs10. It clearly means that product winner at lowest value is no one but the ghost bidder (i.e. Bids10 only.).

I am 100% agree that Bids10.com is a scam site, and running behind a product on this site means "wasting of time and money both..."

i trust this site and all my queries were answered when ever i raised one
I am a regular user of BIDS1o and after spending the few thousands I have realised the following.
In auction mode everything goes smoothly and all of sudden the the site is hanged and u cannot put ur bid even if there is 8 to 9m seconds time and then after a minute or so the site is again ok displaying the message that the product is just sold.This has happened with me 3-4 times even though I was bidding and site was active. So there are certainly ghost bidders and after bidding of any of these bidders the bidding is tactically closed and the winner is declared.
If you look at the winners list of BID10auction, the winners win the items at about 1 to 2% of the cost. Take tha exaple of Pansonic 3 D Tv costing about Rs. 1..5 lakhs. The winner wined this product with less than Rs. 3000. Considering the fact that with each bid placed the bidding value is increased by Rs. 1. Thus for the winning bid of Rs. 3000, only 3000 bids are placed by the bidders. Considering the cost of bid packs in normal case 900 bids ( 600 bids + 50% refund of bids after consumption of 600 bids) can be purchased in Rs. 5000. The cost of each bid is only Rs. 5.5. Spo for placing the 3000 bids, organiser earns only Rs.15300 then how can they give away the item costing Rs.1.5 lakh in Rs 15300. If you calculate this for all the items winned in auction you will realised this. So there are surely ghost bidders who only wins the product and all this is only eye wash and cheating. One should give the thought on this and save yourself from getting cheated and wasting thousands of rupees on betting

On Other bidding sites like jeetle they post the details of the winner including photo and address and statues of supply including the details of the courier service and receipt.
But in BIDS10 only username of the winner is displayed without any details
If BIDS10 is really giving the prizes to real winners why do they not post the details on the web site under the heading winners
