Ist ziinga.com sicher?

***** Spam text message complaints soar 04 Feb 2013 New Zealand Internal Affairs could liaise with overseas authorities to share information, he said. It had for example been in touch with the United States Federal Trade Commission over spam texts sent to New Zealanders by ‘‘penny auction’’ site ziinga.com.

This is one of the domains to which I was redirected following a domain hijack. ***** *****

I knew this was a dodgy site. I initially got a text/sms message on my phone telling me I had won an iPad 3; lets just say that the alarm bells were ringing loud. The URL, which then: ***** ( add it to the list of other sites / URL's to avoid ) directs me to the ***** site and there were red WOT warnings all over it. Good I came here and saw everyone's comments and ratings, so Thank You everyone before I got into real trouble. It's a BAD site along with the above web address hook to reel you in.

Have you ever heard the saying "If it sounds too good to be true, it probably is"? Well, apparently I've "won" a £35 Amazon gift card for the princely sum of £0.00 (+£2 P&P). Let's have a look at the small print, shall we? "Included with this payment is a 7-day free Platinum membership. Once the free days expire, normal monthly fee of £ 59.99 applies. The membership is only binding for 3 months." ...oh please, do me a favour. PS: From what I can tell, this site is not related to the social gaming company Zynga.

The site is a scam. It is misleading and Lies.. I was offered 'FREE BIDS' and won a product on those free bids.. I have discovered that free bids do not exist! As they will not dispatch my won product until I have completed full membership, that is £50 something pounds a month! They also claim that my account there is in suspension due to unpaid membership fees. Yet they have charged my account for the won product!. They have told me that it will cost me £35 to cancel my account as it stands and wouldn't comment on my request for a refund. My recommendation is to only prod them relentlessly as hard as you can with a sharp shitty stick !
