PHPPennyAuction.com Scam Alert – Beware of It!!
As my research for this penny auction script-providing site, I got that the PHPpennyacution.com is real scammer. Their script is buggy and the support is a just like joke. Their slogan is “Start your own penny auction site in just few seconds” but they don’t have the ability to provide the fine penny auction script in months, ohh…dear this is really funny. From first step the site don’t look too much professional. The design, layout, color and other things are too much ugly. This is you can see in this screen sh0t witch I take just now. www.phppennyauction.com I read one post from that man who getting ripped by phppennyauction.com here is that they ask. There are several bugs in the script and also they know about this well but don’t do anything about that. Because of many bugs the script doesn’t running properly. They even claim that the script can be installed in a matter of minuteslol! They just looking to make people fool but sorry phppennyauction you can’t make us fool because we know quite well that you are a real scamme…
Also they don’t make refunds.
First of all I make a first payment 250$.
They install the script full of bugs in 2-3 days.
I contact them to solve the problems. No answer.
After this I ask them for a refund. Now let the show begin.
They answer in 20 min first mail:
„Dear Dan
Please can you provide me with some examples of such issues you are experiencing?
Regards,
Karen C.
phpPennyAuction Support”
I give her 10 examples. (screenshoots)
After 2-3 days …. I don’t get any answers … I try to contact them again … Karen answer me again.
„Dear Dan
Unfortunately I cannot find the ticket ID (s) where you have requested assistance with these issues. Can you please provide them? I can see 2 tickets on this account

After I wait almost 1 month, I need to pay the second month 250$. This month I don’t use the script even for a day because it was full of bugs. (No admin password change, footer missing, and moreeeee)
Such a good company the send me a mail
“Hello Dan
If you do not want to make next month’s payment then you can just let the monthly lease drop out.
Regards,
Mark C.
phpPennyAuction Support.”
I was amazed …. I answer to this mail:
Hello, ok, but what I have to do with the problems that I have with the script?
PhpPennyAuction.com ANSWER:
“Hello Banculea
If you want to continue using the script and want us to fix the problems, then obviously you would need to pay the monthly lease when it falls due.

So .. It’s very easy to see how they think. 250$ more after he told me there is no problem if I don’t want to pay.
I call my bank to refuse their charge. Next day I receive a msg:
Dear Dan,
We recently tried to rebill your recurring order 4821453105 for Scriptmatix Ltd.
for the following items:
phpPennyAuction Professional – Professional – Pay monthly (6 months at $250/m) : 250.00 (USD)
However, your bank declined the transaction for the following reason:
4300 : Authorization Failed
To have these charges post to a different card (or update your expiration date, etc.), please enter your new billing information using the link below. You will be prompted to enter the first 6 and last 2 digits of the previous credit card.
So … they still want money even they give you nothing!
Now Karen it’s in action again!
Dear Dan,
You have used our software and we have incurred the cost of setting up the hosting and providing the support, therefore we are unable to provide a refund of the $250 already paid. However, I can see you have cancelled rebills so no further charges will be paid.
If you can return the hosting account to us by resetting the passwords, then I can provide the rebate of the first month’s payment. Without this, regrettably it is not possible as per our Terms of Use.
Regards,
Karen C.

I reset the passwords in 2-3 hours and mail them. Also on www.phppennyauction.com I can read
Free Support Period – Free support period provided with every purchase at no extra cost.
Free Installation
I inform ICC and local Police because I don’t see there is any way for refund.
Now Karen want to inform me that she lives in a civilised country.
Dear Banculea
Right….. And what are you going to say to the police? “I want you to intervene in a civil issue because I bought software, agreed to the Terms of Use that said no refunds, and they won’t give me a refund! Oh and by the way I live in Romania or the USA, I am not sure on my location, it varies” What do you think they are going to say? Let me give you some advice which is free, maybe it doesn’t apply in Romania but it applies here in the UK and in most civilised countries, if you want something done as a favour then you will be much more successful if you remain polite, and calm.
I will refer the ticket to my manager to review as his decision is final and I have other customers to assist.
