A: Unfortunately, not only do we have to watch for penny auction sites committing fraud (shill bidding, bots, not shipping, etc.), we also have to be on the look out for dishonest bidders that are bidding in teams and colluding by telling bidders to not bid against them out of “respect,” this is indeed coconspiring to win auctions and defraud businesses. This is not only unfair to site owners, as they could possibly lose a substantial amount of money, but to other bidders as well. We believe that this has grown to become a serious issue across various sites. So, think twice before you plan to do this if you are contacted by a bidder requesting you to join in on any sort of bidding “truce/pact.”
As you may have read in the Bidcentsible section of our Penny Auction Forum, Bidcentsible.com accidentally (as have many penny auction sites - unfortunately) failed to BCC the contacts on an e-mail , thus disclosing all e-mail addresses to registered bidders. In turn, a few bidders took this information and used it to contact bidders and form a group to collude and defraud BidCentsible.
