www.for10cents.com scam

I have read some of the comments here and it is all true. It is a scam. You are soooooo right msgoodygal! They went as far as letting me win an item and emailed me to send the money and i did so and soon after they emailed me to tell me that the item is no longer available and that I would get my money returned to my account, well, no such thing. they still have my money, i never received anything and the so called item that was "no longer available, yes you guested it, continues to be auctioned various times a day. I told a vast amount of people to try their website, it will be just as easy to inform them my experience. I will report them to the BBB and will find out more about how to get them exposed. The horrible comment by the person who obviously works for them, wait till it happens to you and see how you like me now.

Site is total scam. Site owner of for10cents, "nan-5", controlls the outcome of every auction using autobid bots acting as real bidders. Just look at site and see for yourself. Same names in several auctions at sametime and same names win everything. These are clearly bots. All penny auctions are scams and controlled, especially fortencents. At least some penny auction try to make it look legit by using different bot names. Fortencents makes it so easy to tell its a scam lol..

I will not even comment on that hideous, vulgar, nonsense. People like you are probably from another bidding site and want the rest of us to believe we are being scammed. Unlike you I can get my point across without language acting like I am 2 yrs., old. I am not an idiot unlike you, I just said if people like you who complain saying they cannot get through then why not send them an email? Or is that to hard for you to do. I'll bet you will be back on this site bidding away and then come on this site and use your gutter mouth, because you didn't win. If you want to resort to name calling, I think you should act your age. This site is about the Co., it isn't intended for Idiots like you to tear other people apart because of your own stupity!

NAN-5, you're so full of [censored]ttt. I have been trying to call these ###s for over 6 months now. I never got ONE item. HELL, I never even got a return phone call! These people are con artists. If you actually get lucky and out bid one of their programmed bots, they never send you that item! I should have just purchased my IPAD from the store instead of getting ripped off!1
STAY FAR AWAY FROM THIS RIP OFF SITE! AND STAY AWAY FROM IDIOTS LIKE NAN-5!

I never said that I got all of my items, I just think that I think that trying to get people riled up and as explained to all of us that it would take some time and to try to have a little patience. I have received 5 calls from Mr Wilhelm explaining that he is doing his best to get everyone taken care of, that he has a new investor. I am a person that takes people at their word and when someone calls me from Germany 5 times, I think he means what he says. So I am not full of bologna as you stated, I never said I got all my items, so I suggest you learn how to read and and see that what I was trying to say. I am entitled to my opinion as well as you are. What gets me you come on this sight and complain and then call me names but you still keep bidding so do the others. Now who is full of bologna?

I have won a TV, IPAD, 2 laptops and snow Blower almost 9 months ago now and still haven't received any of these. I have called at least a 100 times and emailed. No one answers the phone or calls me back! I sent many emails but they send the same auto response message telling me to be patient and sorry for the inconveinance. I have also won bid packs but of course i get those since it costs them nothing and keeps me playing on the site like a sucker. This site is ran by thugs that will scam every last penny you have.

So NAn-5, you must be one of the lucky ones that actually got them on the phone and you actually got your items you won? yes I think your are full of bologna and the owner also. Going out of your way to come onto this site Telling the ones that were scammed that you get all your items. Like someone would come on this complaintsboard.com and say they win and receive their items! spare me please!

If you think that all of us that are bidding are the owners, you are wrong. Instead of complaining why don't you just go to another auction site. I have bid at other sites and if you want to be swindled, go there. They will not contact you when you have a complaint, they have auctions that you cannot win because of the experienced winners. So I suggest all of you who think I am an owner, guess again, I am just like you, a regular person trying to win some nice prizes for my kids and grandchildren.

I too was swindled from this "honest" and "reputable" site. After I spent nearly 1000 dollars in Bid packs did I realize that this auction scheme is controlled by the autobid system. It's a joke. No matter how many times I would bid on the same prize, the autobidder pretender(bots) would outbid me. Then that autobidder(s) would disappear and more fake autobidders would jump in and seemed to have an endless supply of fake bids.. Before I knew it I spent my 1000k worth of REAL bids on the same item. Complete scam! I am living proof.
I agree with Tgal2012 and Johnnie So. The site is indeed ran by autobid computer bots to take real peoples bid and the site owners come on here pretending to be customers that win many prizes and tell us that the site is not a scam. Suck a joke.
Don't get ripped off buy this scam. I am living proof.

I have not had the same experience as you seem to be having. I have received several gift cards, a camcorder, I still have some gift cards coming and some other items I won. I always get a response when I call and leave a message, There was a mix up with my bank and they called my bank to straighten out the problem. I know there are scams out there but I have had nothing but positive feedback and several conversations with Mr. Wilhem, and also Blanca at for10cents.com. I am not a fake, I am a real live female who is also waiting for some gift cards and items I have won, but I know that this company is trying it"s best to please everyone. I think everyone should give them a chance. I also disagree with your comment "NO ONE WINS AND NO ONE GETS ANYTHING." I am living proof. I have never met anyone from the co., only conversations and I take them at their word. So I do want you to know that I am not pretending to be anyone but nan-5, a woman that likes to bid at for10cents.com.

I spent a lot of money buying bids so that i could bid on a Sony 35mm Camera. I won, and they never delivered. I keep getting emails with excuses why they cannot send it, waiting on investors, etc., but no camera. They are a fraud. Do not join this scam.

The BBB is a joke and ineffective. Maciej Wilhelm and Tom Zambrzyck are most likely the same person. I personally went to their business address and it is an office for an architect and I couldn't find anyone there from for10cents. I posted the personal address for Maciej on another site, no idea if he lives there or not. It's another suburb of Chicago. I spent about 7, 500 and received only a check for $250 as a placating gesture. The only way to do anything is small claims court and I don't know if even that works. I'm sure Maciej transferred all the money to Poland already. And he's probably gone already and I doubt they will extradite him just because he ripped off Americans, if he ripped off the government, of course they would. i think they finally shut down that damned site. i used to believe all the lies when Maciej would call me. I do feel sorry for the women they had answering the phones and probably thinking the company was legit, they had to tell so many lies. With 47 pages of complaints, how come the DOJ hasn't done something by now. It was an ingenious scam, I'll give him that

I started playing earlier on when "for10cents" was getting off the ground, it's been 21/2 years since I last received any of my items; still outstanding consists of three cameras and a $150 debit card, plus they took away 10, 000 bid points. I spoke with credit card companies and found that even though a good deal of time has lapsed I can still file a charge back on my credit cards since there's been no attempted delivery, and bidding can get very expensive unless you get lucky as I did a few times. They make up new rules as they go along just to cover their ###. They have people still bidding since before I'd started who are still winning multiples of cameras, laptops and more of the same items they were winning 4 years ago, yet claim now that non of the items won are to be resold {what are these people doing with 20 - 30 or more of any 1 particular item if not to resale many of them}. If they're still able to continue operating then why haven't they made good on past winnings. Maybe the FTC needs to do some investigating. Biding on this site could cost thousands in losses the way they operate.

just filed a complaint with the BBB. What was interesting was for10cents.coms response to the BBB. They said that they had shipped me products before. LIE. They have never shipped me anything. I can only hope that the FBI snatches some of those people, throws them in prison and throw away the key.

I won an item from for10cent.com for about three plus month ago, and every time I tried to make a payment thru their shop2go system, it declined the payment. I have called them about this issue many times but no response. I had left them message again no call back. I never receive the item. This cite is a complete package, ingredients of scam .

Yes sorry for everyone I did receive my products in the beginning and about a year and a half ago they just stopped sending me stuff... They still owe me about 10 expensive items a year and a half ago... same thing I emailed them a lot and talked with the girl's a lot on the phone and the boss called me today at dinner and told me sometime mid to late January I should be seeing something... or maybe February?... I know don't worry I stopped playing there about a year ago and well all I can say is if I see it then maybe I will be back but lately I look at it is a loss... sorry guys I do hope we all get are stuff that we paid, played, and won!
