Dealcent.com is a penny auction site (like Swoopo) which uses bots to make sure that nobody ever wins an auction. Customers have to buy a certain number of bids (75, 150, etc.) before they can bid (1 bid = 0.01 USD).

Each time a new bid is made the timer resets 10 seconds. Their bots (several bots per auction) make higher bids until real people run of out bids. When the price is getting too high, and that one of their bots is the winning bidder your screen freezes a few seconds (about 2 seconds) before the auction ends.

Oddly enough, when you've finally run out of bids, the auction is won by the next bot to bid just seconds after you've run out of bids. This website is a scam.
