Is the DealDash bidding website a scam ?

[Norris]

Hello Mollie,

Since you’re aware that dealdash.com is an auction/bidding site, are you aware how things work with this kind of ‘business?’ If no, I strongly suggest for you not to waste your time & money. But if yes, suit yourself.

It’s not a surprise you’ll ask me WHY?

First, check out a couple of feedback/reviews from http://verify1st.com/dealdash.com you will see that the common feedback about dealdash.com is that they either encounter bidders who spends about more than hundred bucks in exchange of a lower amount of gift cards, shopping cards, gift certificates, etc.

Here’s one of the feedback:

“237 bids or $ 142.00. This is what a bidder named "k..." expend in $25 Gift Card + 20 Credits! DealDash store price: $37.00. This is insane! Pay out $142.00 to win $ 37.00!! There was another player named "maxi..." (or bot?), who used 119 bids or $ 71.00. I was monitoring various auctions and I notice that the same behavior in ALL them. Coincidence? Ahhh! And you will find the same player (bot?) in several auctions. Very suspicious! I now understand and agree with all complaints in this site. I'm getting myself out. BE AWARE!”

You think you can beat that?

If you ask me, what about the ‘POSITIVE’ reviews/feedback in verify1st? Then you shouldn’t be worrying whether dealdash.com is high risk or not, right?

And if you notice on the feedback, most of them would tell you that the CSR of this website is excellent, very reliable, etc. Surely, a CSR can perform his job beyond expectations, but how is that possible if the only available mode of contacting them is via email/sending them a ticket? http://www.dealdash.com/support.php

Let’s go with the technicalities of this domain.

5.Although the website is not currently blacklisted according to http://rbls.org/dealdash.com this is not an assurance/guarantee that they’re safe to transact with.
6.Going forward, before transacting online or is in doubt whether a website is high risk or not, I strongly suggest you go to http://www.verify1st.com as they will also reveal the IDENTITY, REPUTATION & RELATIONSHIP reports of the website you’re concerned with.

Hopefully this helps. Good luck!
