Instasurfs refuses to answer emails

Instasurfs has refused to answer 4 emails from 4 different clients they provided on their website. I get the same message every time and they're all tossed into the spam folder. I already escalate my dispute to a claim with PayPal. I just hope it goes through, but he has the nerve to still collect payments from Liberty Reserve, Solid Trust Pay, and Egopay. PayPal and Payza have already closed down his account due to suspicious activity. I was a fool to believe Instasurfs is legitimate, but the site is truly a scam. I did report to the FBI IC3 just to make sure this phony doesn't rip off other people, but he still does everyday. This site is new, but several people have already not receive payment from Payza. Do not join this site unless you want to be ripped off!

Lots of penny auction sites appearing everyday: good, bad, and ugly

Since the global economic crisis, penny auction sites are the rage these days. Replacing traditional auction sites like eBay, penny auction sites give users the chance to win auction items cheaply but must buy bid packs in order to bid on the auctions. Unfortunately, scam sites keep appearing everyday in order to entice users to buy bid packs and waste their money on items they actually don't have. I learn the hard way after Zoogboo tricked over 300 people of their money and ran off. I was unfortunate as well and lost money from that site. You need to have good intuition about whether or not the site is legitimate. Visit forums such as Penny Auction Watch and PennyBurners to keep up-to-date on penny auctions.

Bad rumors around Zoogboo

There have been disturbing rumors around the penny auction site Zoogboo. It seems their site seems to have problems with showing history of past auctions and showing who the previous winner is. Also, the winner of the auction should have been the last person who placed the bid, but instead it is the second person below it.

Customer service is another story as well. It seems that the site owner only responds to certain emails, but ignores others or goes into the spam folder. Some of the winners claim that the site owner doesn't respond to their emails and shipping goes out for these items with tracking numbers. Many other penny auction sites have taken steps to take care of their customers instead of ignoring them. Penny Auction Watch and Pennyburners warn people to avoid the site, but there are still people bidding on the site.

I personally avoid the site until Zoogboo overhauls their website with dramatic changes. It seems the programmer didn't do a good job of the layout and past auction history is missing to determine who has reach their limit.
