“Let there be no doubt in anyone's mind that Swoggi is a barely "legitimate" SCAM. Let me define for you the term "scam". I consider a scam to be some system that draws funding from a customer base with very little, if any chance that it will deliver a return of product or value for the investment. Swoggi takes your money without properly explaining the risks involved and how quickly your money disappear from Swoggi Credits (which are usable) to premium Credits which are not, unless you invest more money in the SCAM. Your chances of actually getting a good deal at an auction for anything worthwhile are tiny. My recommendation, having lost a significant sum - DO NOT GO ANYWHERE NEAR SWOGGI!! There is no such thing as a free lunch. Geoff”

“Another sucker here . I was also sent to the site from a different website that was shouting about how cool doggie was and after a little thought and quick look ,I figured that if it was genuine then "what a wicked idea " ,after my first deposit and several boring hours I was left with nothing .I then spent a few days just watching the site and testing out my scam possibilities .SORRY but either it's a total scam with auto bots working for the site or the way the site and the rules work make it just a total waste of time and you will be left feeling like a total plonker . I think maybe a few sales are allowed through now and then so there is a small chance you will be lucky but it would be really interesting to know just how many people leave the site happy and with a bargain .here's my observation of the last few days . star wars knife set = valued at £90 (just a set of knives ) the entire auction was a battle between 2 names from start to finish .now and again someone would put a bid in but it was unbelievable to watch and I can't believe that 2 REAL people were doing it .it lasted over 24hrs with the same 2 names and was stopped at a sale price of £30.61 .that's 3061 bids each costing 50p. That means each bidder paid over £1000 for a knife set worth £90 . maybe it was a couple of rich bored people .either way scam or real ,when the names involved are on screen it means don't bother to bid because you WONT win ,unless it is a scam and the site operators decide to let you win . I continued to watch and checked out what the names bid on etc and I might be wrong but I think it's just a great big scam .it is possible that someone might be happy to pay a grand for a knife set but drop out of a iPad sale .certain regular names are never on the same auction but stop and change .enough .I had to try and save someone a big waste of time and money .”

“My first introduction to Swoggi was through one of those money type sites and so I thought it was a legitimate auction site. So, guess what, I signed up to it and paid £25 through Paypal for 50 credits and started bidding. The bid increases by 1p per bid for which you pay 50p and it is forever dropping to 1 second to go and guess what, goes to another few seconds because, someone else has bid, or the system is set to automatically bid until Swoggi's price is achieved. Think of the figures here, I started for an Ipad at £17.00, the bid increments of 1p were charged at 50p per bid. I watched it go up to £187,17 - that is £170 worth of 1p bids charged at 50p/bid. So, Swoggi earned 170 x 100 x .5 = £8500 - for an Ipad?????”

“swoggi is a rip off. they claim to give you 50 credits, however after asking for your credit card details, for, the say 'paying for items that you win' they then take money on it and loe and behold there are no free credits. And dont jut take my word for it. VISIT http://www.reviews.co.uk/company-reviews/store/Swoggi and to coin my old adage, if it seems too good to be true, it probably is.”

“God, just work out how many total bids are made and multiply by what price per bid and you see just how much these sites are making. Yes some so called lucky winner gets a so called bargain but you DO NOT get something for nothing, as a winner you may not pay the full price but the site makes a bomb. WORK IT OUT cos its aint rocket science”

“Martin Lewis of www.moneyexpert.com should be ashamed of himself! A review saying how great it was was written on the sight. I foolishly trusted the opinion and lost money without really understanding how it worked. I would love to hear from someone genuine ie a Martin Lewis who claim they won an i-pad within a few hours. No wonder he is wealthy he was probably paid handsomely to lead his followers to the slaughter. I do feel a little stupid but trust is a dangerous thing. Very clever scam. It must reap in millions worldwide to the unsuspecting.”

“I should have mentioned in my previous review that they put auctions out for ipad airs and i pad minis with the time of the end of auction so you bid hard thinking that the auction is about to end only to find they extend the auction time and time again so you don't know where you are. I lost 100 pounds. I realised there was something drastically wrong and phoned bank to block payment but bank said the company was a merchant and would not stop payment.”

“Complete waste of money spent £150 couldn't see where the money went as impossible to win as bids keep rolling over and then they add extra time on to it if it's not high enough! Bid robot was supposed to bid on one auction but didn't show up any bids just took the money!”

“Wish I had read these reviews BEFORE joining sloggi ....I have been duped for £108 ..... This site should be closed down misleading information......I purchased £50 with free £8.00 so thought this must be ok as I have been using Ebay for around 8 years so well used to auctions... Big mistake ...I was bidding on the same phone for nearly 12 hours when the bidding was at the last few seconds out of the blue another minute or seconds were added then somewhere along the line it must have asked for more credits which I thought I had already purchased as it was a penny auction the next day another £50 was out of my account... The auction was still running 24 hours later ??? I am trying to sort this out with PayPal and my bank DONT !!!! Buy into this it is a massive SCAM at least Dick Turpin had the decency to wear a mask !!! I am so very angry with no phone number to call I will have to try and email them ...”

“I also joined in good faith and feel a fool for having been caught out and have lost 100 pounds. They refused a refund. I realised it was a scam from the way the bidding was going and identical user names were bidding to block the auction and win the game. I requested a refund giving my reasons before my account had been debited but they gave an excuse and refused”

“I joined Swoggi, but had a bad feeling and was really not sure, I was going to bid on an item tonight as I really wanted a Samsung mobile as my Iphone had crashed, was actually going to bid with £100 (which being a pensioner I could not really afford to loose ) Then I noticed your articles (just in the knack of time) I had informed them that the only mobile I was interested in was a Samsung Galaxy, within a day or two they emailed me with the details of exactly the model I am hoping to eventually buy, in fact I was going to make a bid on this tonight, then thank you all so much for your reviews , which I only noticed just before going on their site to bid , and thank you all so very much for your reviews. Golly I was even going to pay with a Credit Card for a limit of £100.00 I was shocked to hear the names of the people involved with this scam I really do hope that these sites are closed down , again many thanks to all of you who have left reviews”

“Like so many people before me and no doubt many after me, I was taken in by what seemed a good idea, it took me about a day in total, I'm a bit slow I know, to work out what was going on, you bid and bid then realise that this is going to take forever as the bidding can go on for hours even days, then you come to understand you need to bid towards the end not at the beginning because when your out of credits you have to buy more to continue, but unlike bidding on eBay, what you bid you loose! The wife and I worked out that one item that eventually went for around £87.00 actually cost all those bidding nearly £2,000! Basically it's just a gambling site hiding behind retail sales. Be warned keep clear tell your friends!!!!”
