These liars and others like them flood the web with fake "news" pages, decieving the naive with fake "product reviews". They are spammers. Their sites belong on the lists of phishing sites.

howlifeworks.com reviewed the phenomena of penny auctions naming Quibids several times. Quibids was listed as the sponsor of the article. The article was entirely positive about penny auctions. What they did not mention is that for every person that makes a fantastic purchase, there are all the other bidders who paid for each bid they made, and ended up without a product. One explanation I read states that the auction agency has the opportunity to delay the closing time for the auction, to insure sufficient income to cover their costs and profit. Like they say: there is no free lunch. My advice is to avoid penny auctions unless you enjoy gambling and are willing to lose on average.

The "About Us" section hidden at the bottom of the page basically admits that it's an advertorial site. However, people who don't read the "About Us" section might assume that it's a normal news site that just happens to link to a number of expensive "miracle" products, especially if they assume it's similar to howstuffworks.com.

It is a scam to get you to Kronos, and Glow, so that you can be too easily bilked into getting 90 dollar shampoo because what you are using now is a waste of you money. Seriously? I know this because I am a victim. It only took a couple of clicks to be on the order list and find out that you cannot just try this crap. You are locked in, and opting out is harder than income tax prep. Run!

They have a company advertised named FRS Systems for an energy drink. I put in all my credit card info & it told me my address was incorrect. I re entered several times & still gave me an error. So I tried there *******967 to see the problem & it rang 3 times & went busy. I did this 12 times & the same thing. I call my credit card & there were multiple charges on my card. Even thought it said on there website that there was an error I was getting billed every time I was re entering my address think I entered wrong. I cancelled my card right of way to stop any other problems that could accure. This all started at the site on Yahoos web page HOW IT WORKS & they have no contact number to register a complaint either. Maybe its just me or maybe a scam, good luck
