Complaint 46096 Details

I found Ziinga thru Google. I followed their instruction to create a "free" account, entered a "Free" auction and "won" a Samsung ST30 digital camera for $3.27 plus shipping. I followed the instructions for paying for this item and recieved an email within just a few minutes stating that the item would be shipped. This was to be a Christmas present for my 12 year old daughter. At the bottom of this emailed receipt was a paragraph detailing the "wonderful benefits" I would now recieve for "becoming a platinum member" (a scam promotion that kicks in if you bid and win anything on their "free" auction page) and that they would be billing me $99.99 per month for the next three months! I contacted them thru their chat line and began protesting this scam. After a long series of unpleasent exchanges I was informed that they were going to cancel my platinum membership for the nominal fee of just $39.00! I have filed a complaint with my banks card center and have canceled my card to keep these thieves from stealing from my account. Be careful out there people! There are wolves looking to steal your Grandma's basket of goodies! Never do business with Ziinga! It's just another scam :(
