My email address was used to sign up for a LiveAuctioneers.com account. Suddenly there were thousands of dollars in charges associated with my profile. I did not place the bids, I did not sign off on the bids, I did not agree to this websites terms. Yet 3 months later I was harrassed by a collection agency called Lazarus Fianancial Group. They threatened me into giving them $6038.14 to settle my www.LiveAuctioneers.com profile. I was never provided any goods or services from Live Auctioneers LLC, yet after I signed up for a profile, I was scammed for over $6k. This website claims on a BBB response that they take no responsibilty in what happens on their site. I would stay far away from this website. I was personally scammed out of $6k+. I will make it my life mission to warn others of these unethical internet companies!

It has been six months since I made the mistake of using my email address at http://www.LiveAuction... It has been over a month since I had a collection agency give me three days to give them $6000 to settle a http://LiveAuctioneers... profile. In no time in between and in no time since has LiveAuctioneers or Western Asset Reserve contacted me to update me on where my $6000 has gone and what exactly I was being charged for, and yet I still can't access my http://www.liveauction... profile to use that taken amount as a site credit.
http://LiveAuctioneers... has stated on a BBB response that they take no responsibility for what happens on their website with their affiliates. I find this practice inconsistent with other online auctioneers. I have been an A+ Ebayer for over 7 years now, with a 100% rating with some 100 dealings with others buyers and sellers. I couldn't imagine Ebay just stepping out of a situation to leave you to fend for yourself against bully collectors and unresponsive companies.
I will continue to update the internet consumer community about my dealings with these online businesses. Six months after creating a http://www.LiveAuction... profile, I have received no merchandise, I don't know what charges the collection agency were taking from me, where the money was going, where the money is? I had to pay $6000 dollars for bids I did not place on this website. Imagine a $6000 charge for something you didn't do and you don't even know what the money is for? And no one from these companies contact you, except a collection agency(you can imagine exactly what this guy sounded like and the way he talked to you!)! And you have three days to pay him or else! This is exactly what I've gone through.
All the companies I have dealt with in this ordeal have a F rating at the BBB. BBB couldn't even contact Western Asset Reserve for weeks, no response. Just feel that fear as a consumer!
You can make your own decision about these businesses. All I can do is tell you my personal experiences and hope no one else has to live through a tragedy such as this

On the March 5 auction I bid on a 1 oz. Gold Britannia lot 115985b. The auction summary indicated that I won the bid for $1700. There was an identical 1 oz Brit. Lot 116125b which also sold for $1700. I would like the product at the $1700. I would like to resolve the issue.

I purchased 3 prints from Morgan Auctions in July. I paid them in August 11. I never received these prints. I called immediately and have sent numerous emails. I was promised replacements or refund but to date I have not received anything. I purchased a Dali soft watches for $105.00 , a Matisse nude $150.00

, and a Hockney Pool for$150.

I purchased an item at auction. It's almost two weeks later and I've paid for it, and the company has gone radio silent.
