Type of a scam Online Purchase
Hi, I’ve been following an auction with Sell at auction- Pickering, and the owner is putting bids in on his own auction (shill). Now if I went to a live auction and the auctioneer was boosting the price in front of the crowd, I’m sure everyone would leave. This is unethical and possibly illegal. His bids are for franmac, the same person phone number and address as the pick up address. I would have hoped that auctionflex wouldn’t allow something like this to happen but when I contacted auctionflex, they said they provide the software only. I am very very disappointed. I have already put in bids before I knew that the auctioneer was also a shill, and can’t reverse my bids, as he has all my credit card info already. Now I also have to pay 10% buyers premium plus tax on a higher than should be bid price. thank you John
