“Swoggi biggest scam going ,I got drawn in by an article from a reporter who must have been paid by swoggi, I am surprised by the number of people who have been conned by this company,what surprises me even more is Paypal does not intend to do anything about it.I suggest that all the people who have been conned terminate their accounts with Paypal if enough of us do it , Paypal may take notice.”

“No doubt like many others before me I foolishly believed that the law and or Trading Standards would ensure that these type of auction sites were legitamate so I invested £250 worth of credits in Swoggi. After 24 hrs of watching with anticaption on the three different items I bid on, absouletly nothing was happening so I thought OK give it a few more hours (still nothing) so I cancelled my account and wrote to Swoggi asking for my money back. I was informed that they could only refund me £160.50 because the remaining £89.50 was was to pay for the bids I had already made on supposedly timed items which kept resetting the clock, that went on for ever but never went anywhere. Stay well clear this is a total SCAM SITE that should be shut down by Trading Standards as quickly as possible.”

“Really wish I had read these before stupidly paying £50 for the privilege of being ripped off. I have contacted paypal who say they can't refund my money as the company has supplied what it says is will, the opportunity to bid. When questioned, Paypal get quite a few complaints on this company, they should do something about it. Don't go near this company!!”

“Somehow, I followed a link-I believed from Money Saving Expert-& before I knew it I had signed up via PayPal. I guessed straight away it was a scam, but too late to get all my money back- £15 lighter. Now, I know they are using a similar name as the Martin Lewis site- deception,fraud -Time Trading standards shut them down”

“There was an article in the internet about a guy who won two items at a bargain price ,including new I phone,I had a good experience with eBay and graysonine, I joined these losers swoogi,I have to buy credits, already they marked the $50 from a selection of choices ,20,50,100,200 $,I went with that,they added bounces which increased my credits to 125$ ,then I chose to pay by pal pay, I put my password ,but there was no confirmation page as I used to have in my many pal pay payments,anyway,I started to bid ,and after one hour I decided to use the robot bider, half an hour later,all the credits were gone,second day I wrote a compliant to pal pay,ten days later pal pay refunded the $50. and my loses were $1.5 which visa charges as a tax for foreign transaction ,so it was happy ending with a lesson to be extremely caution with any internet offers.”

“I'm just not comfortable with this. When you spend time on the site you can spot a series of familiar bidders who regularly appear. They seem to bid when bidding on high value items is stalling. They also seem to win these high value items at bargain prices. Enough to get me wondering if minimum sale prices to the public are somehow preserved?”

“This is undoubtedly BIG TIME SCAM !!!!!!!!!!! I have lost £50 that I can ill afford, I wanted an iPAD for a grandson thinking this was genuine, they need to be addressed for FRAUD !!”

“I reported them to the National Fraud Intelligence Bureau because they are tricksters, and I hate being deliberately tricked. They are using MoneyExpert as a front because that website is a name which we all think we can trust - but there's a difference. It's not the Money Expert we know, and CAN trust, no, its their own website, with a web name which sounds similar - moneyexpert360.com (the 360 is the deceptive part). This website only has 6 basic pages with very limited information; its only purpose is to get you to believe that you can get great electronic bargains from swoggi because their journalists already have. Its all a lie. They are making hundreds of thousands of pounds/euros/internationally from people around the world buying credits to bid on items and never winning anything. I'm pretty sure the actual winners are just company plants. Would YOU keep bidding hundreds of pounds to win an item worth hundreds of pounds? No, you wouldn't. You'd stop. The winners are most likely a set up. Everyone else gets scammed out of their money till they give up trying or catch on that its a scam. But swoggi gets to keep at least £15 from everyone who signs up, regardless. The Fraud agency said they had insufficient lines of enquiry for a SUCCESSFUL investigation but if others reported swoggi to them, maybe that would change. They have kept the file open and say they would look for common links to take things further. I say don't take this lying down. I say help to put companies like swoggi out of business and behind bars if necessary. Yeah, it's only a few pounds lost, but multiply that by several thousand, and we're talking fortunes made! Remember, for every £1 the penny auction goes up, £100 has already been bid (1p for every 100p (£1) bid). If an IPAD genuinely sells for £50, £5000 has already been bid (100px50). Swoggi can then happily buy an IPAD at full price out of that to give the winner, can't they? It's a nasty scam. I urge you to take action. Report them to the National Fraud Intelligence Bureau now!”

“Whatever you do, please don't go on these wet sites. After reading a news article about penny sites, and the one they tried was swoggi, the reporter had a successful experience so I thought that I would give it a go - I bought $100 worth of credits and tried days and nights to watch the auctions, I realised it will never win anything, I've been robbed! DON'T GO THERE!!! Like the old saying states - if it sounds to good to be true it probably isn't!! A huge scam and I don't know how they get away with it.”

“Swoggi as the name implies is a fraudulent website that Trading Standards must close down forthwith. How can innocent people be conned out of their hard earned cash. It is absolutely pathetic to say the least. I say shut the site down! It is despicable!”

“They had some company called Juniper Global take $50.00 out of my account and sent me an email saying my purchase was on it's way and I didn't even purchase anything. Now I'm trying to get my money back and can find no way to contact these assholes! They even say I can't access my account because I'm giving them the wrong email address. This site is not only very poor, it sucks!! It is just a scam as everyone else said it is. I wish I would have read the reviews before Going to this site”

“YOU ARE BETTER OFF BUYING LOTTERY SCRATCH CARDS AVOID!! They charge you to bid on items that you have LITTLE to NO chance of winning. If you FAIL to win the item you are bidding on (AND YOU WILL) they simply keep the money they charged you for bidding! YOU PAY THEM FOR NOTHING! Many people are foolish enough to keep buying bidding credits, thinking it will increase their chances of winning, meaning they end up even more out of pocket! YOU ARE BETTER OFF BUYING LOTTERY SCRATCH CARDS at least the odds of winning are clearly presented!”

“STAY WELL CLEAR PEOPLE!! There are NO bargains to be had on swoggi. YOU WILL LOOSE MONEY!! I'm not stupid but I still found myself £100 lighter with absolutely nothing to show for it! Its a joke at our expense! Swoggi & PayPal are raking in enormous profits out of this awful set up!! Don't expect a refund folks, because you won't be getting one!! If I could I would have rated this NO stars at all...”

“Very poor star doesn't even warrent that. Absolute scam. I agree with all the previous comments. Swioggishould be shut down, somehow they are conning people into thinking they can bid and win, almost impossible. I have watched bidding vey carefully, not even sure if it is genuine bidders. As for bid robot be prepared to be ripped off. Total Scam do not be lured in.”

“"SCAMMED" again! Suckered!”

“Wouldn't even give 1 star!! The same names win often and bid for hours. Made me realise I can't win and felt this is extremely fixed. Please don't waste your money, as I have. Total con and could cost you far more than the product you want is worth. On first glance it looks amazing- iPads selling for £46 but it could cost you £200 plus in penny bids as each penny bid costs up to £1 each and you are unlikely to win after that. Be warned!!!!! Don't waste your time and money xx”
