“Swoggi should not be advertised on MSN (by way of bogus journalist article) and Paypal should not take payments on their behalf. This is a scam set up to rip off the general public and should be shut down. Proceed at your own risk”

“I wish had googled reviews before stupidly bought credits for £25 on my debit card in a haste. It only took me an hour to realize this is a scam and impossible to win so decided to contact them. I e-mailed support asking for a refund to cancel my account. Firstly they said my e-mail address was not registered but it was missing a letter. Secondly, they could not return my money as they charge £15 for refunds! I asked to see their cancellation policy as it wasn't anywhere visible and how it's even possible I was registered when had mistakenly given wrong e-mail address? Even if only small amount is in question, I threatened them with lawyer and publicist to guarantee max bad publicity and a warning to other innocent people. My ipad and laptop were trying to warn me with message 'this site does not have not security certificate'. And I still stupidly persevered!!”

“I can't believe I nearly fell for this. I was just about to click on the button to buy some credits and get started and thought I would do a quick Google search first to see what other people make of Swoggi. The worst thing is I found about Swoggi from the MSN homepage in the top stories section someone had made a blog page about how to buy cheap electronics!”

“Absolute rip off go to their "Free Registration" site and be prepared to lose £15 ? Reported them to PayPal and eventually after 3 weeks and a lot of emails and phone calls got all my money back. BE WARNED READ THE REVIEWS AND RUN AWAY”

“DO NOT SIGN UP UNLESS YOU WISH TO BE RIPPED OFF!! They charge you to sign up and charge you every time you bid on an item! When you realise you are been ripped off and try to deactivate your account and get your remaining credits back they charge you again... a whopping £15.00!! Stay clear....”

“Feel like I have been mugged, this site is outrageous. Google should ensure that the reviews are the first point of contact. I am yet to find a positive review its a CON.”

“Total con !! Want to loose money real quick ? Join this dhower. Reality.... every time you bid your money purchsed goes down its not an auction its a con. You think as 0 minutes comes you rve won...wrong!! It always starts again. You will waste loads of time.. for me 3 hours ! And you see you money going down with each bid you do. Forget this scam ...go on internet and buy what you want at a price you want to pay. These herberts are laughing at our naiveity . Dont allow them . Peter”

“Thanks for the feedback , not invested As a result. For the record the page that took me to swoggie was called money expert , an obvious play on the Martin Lewis money savings expert , not the same . Hopefully these reviews will save more people like me from wasting money. Worrying this is the link to "money expert" was on sky sports app, shame on you sky !”

“If you kick up a lot of stink you can actually get a full refund like I did. Just tell them that you will get consumer watchdogs, trading standards and 'Dom' involved (cowboy builders, rogue traders, etc.)”

“I lost £250 on this Swoggi site, it is an absolute con, it makes you think you are in with a chance of wining & that they limit 8 wins per month per user - false sense of security!! but I didn't get anything for my £ 250 credit, I lost every penny. Its a Joke - KEEP AWAY & DO NOT REGISTER - Use EBAY TO BID - it is safer and straight forward.”

“These people are Thieving robbing BASTARDS! And that's putting it mildly, I thought it was an auction site (like eBay) and I thought I was biddiind (not BETTING) in increments of a penny each time! How naive I am! Luckily I only got robbed of £15, but I'm out of work at the moment and I wanted a phone, which I thought I could bid on for a small amount, I wish I'd seen all these reviews before I lost my money! I've contacted PayPal and asked how they can have anything to do with these robbing bastards, because that's what they are. To anyone who's thinking of using this site, DON'T, go throw your money down the loo.”

“I was silly enough to register with swoggi thinking it was similar to ebay but No! they took £50 out of my account straight away, I contacted them and explained the situation and the reply was I had £44.50 which i could have back but they would also take£15 off for other charges. So would only really get £29.50 back. again I explained that I had not purchased anything so felt they should waiver any charges and give me a full refund. Still waiting for a reply. PLEASE AVOID THIS SITE ITS A COMPLETE RIP OFF”

“This is a definite con got ripped of by 50 quid immediately and everytime i try to log in they say my password is incorrect.they then say they have sent a new password to my email address but it never comes.I hate to see these arseholes get away with this scam.”

“I was conned out of £120 by these scam artists before I knew it ....nothing is explained . I purchased £50 of so called credits and before I knew it another £60 was taken ... I paid through paypal via my bank so I felt very protected .. when I contacted my bank { to cancel my card .. fearful more would be taken } and paypal they both wanted nothing to do with it .. something has to be done about this site I am amazed they are allowed to scam people in this way SHOCKING !!!”

“I, unfortunately, was also sucked into this scam and I never enter these things. I thought that I was paying $50 but $100 was taken from my account almost immediately before I could stop it. I put one bid on an i-Pad and then left the site. Every time I try to re-enter I'm told that my password is incorrect even though I know it is not, I'm told that an e-mail will be sent with my password, but it never arrives even though I've tried many times. there are no phone numbers, of course, so no way of contacting anyone. I'm going to see what I can do to get my money back.”

“Let there be no doubt in anyone's mind that Swoggi is a barely "legitimate" SCAM. Let me define for you the term "scam". I consider a scam to be some system that draws funding from a customer base with very little, if any chance that it will deliver a return of product or value for the investment. Swoggi takes your money without properly explaining the risks involved and how quickly your money disappear from Swoggi Credits (which are usable) to premium Credits which are not, unless you invest more money in the SCAM. Your chances of actually getting a good deal at an auction for anything worthwhile are tiny. My recommendation, having lost a significant sum - DO NOT GO ANYWHERE NEAR SWOGGI!! There is no such thing as a free lunch. Geoff”
