[Resolved]  J9 Ventures (www.jeetle.in) — Fraudulent Online Auctions

Address: Bangalore, Karnataka

Hi,

This is a complaint against J9 Ventures who run www.jeetle.in as a reverse auction site.
My complaint revolves around several questionable observations during the reverse bidding auctions on 26th July. Some salient complaint items are below:

1. Auction winner's name changed during the last 1 sec of the auction for the 'Nikon D3000 SLR' auction.
2. I had already bid for the amount that was finally declared as the winning bid. When I checked my bid history my bid had been erased!
3. There were lot of 'server lock' experiences during the last hour of the auction. It clearly seemed as though there was some tweaking/manipulations being done at the backend.
4.When I tried transferring money into my jeetle account during the last 1 hour of the, transactions failed even though money has been debited from my account.

In short, I strongly suspect unfair means being employed to wing auctions thru www.jeetle.in. This is based on the observation that a core set of people keep winning even though others play with strategy.
