speedybuys.com Grand larceny! Report Speedybuys.com Internet, Nationwide
An e-mail from a reputable source, i.e., Oprah, (Torey) MSNBC, or something else I recognize and trustworthy, sent info about a new e-Bay site. I wanted to take a look, but before I could do that, just like everyone else, I was required to provide a credit card.
I looked at their stock and found it lacking interest - about 12 items up for bid, including a 40 inch Samsung LCD TV.
The site lures you in by saying they are providing you with 150-300 points to start bidding for FREE. I bid on the TV and was outbid within seconds. That was it for me. I backed out.
The next day, last Friday, they charged my debit card for $149.00. When I called the next day, on Saturday, the recording instructed me to call back during regular business hours. When I did, I was instructed to go to their site and send an e-mail to: [email protected], where I was told I'd get a response from 24-48 hours. In addition, I sent an e-mail from my g-mail, and called the customer service number again to note my call on account record.
My request to cancel in the 3 day "buyers remorse" was answered with "No refunds" policy. When I called for an address, I was given 1507 7th Street, Santa Monica, which is just down the street, I found a PO Box rental. They had never heard of Speedy Buys but said they would contact Homeland Security, once I provided them with information. I guess Homeland Security is as far as I can go to complain so that other might not be scammed but what about my $150.00? BEWARE!
