Description of Viaziz:
ViaZiz.com is a penny auction website launched in October 2010. This new website is based in New Zealand. This website has been started to meet the demand of the enthusiastic customers who are willing to participate in Live Auctions but they do not because of intense competition. They claim on their website that they will never resort to malpreactises. This is what we got in their ‘Fair Auction Guarantee’ ==>
”ViaZiz and corresponding Auction sites have risen in popularity in recent years. As more consumers participate in auctions on our site and others, they’re encountering more problems; from disappointing merchandise to high prices, and outright scams.
We DO NOT use any automatic (Shill Bidding) or manual system to participate in our auctions.
We will never pay for a site to give us good reviews. We believe in an open, honest policy that benefits all of our customers and will always strive to achieve this.”
When we checked ViaZiz, it had to offer Samsung LE37C650 37-inch LCD TV, Apple iPhone 4 32GB, Xbox 360 Slim 250GB, HTC Legend A6363 3G, iPod Touch 8GB, Sony PlayStation 3 and Apple iMac.

How ViaZiz Works:
Working of this site is similar to other penny auction sites.To bid on Live Auctions you have to buy Bids which come in Bid packs at ViaZiz. When you bid on Live Auctions by clicking the “BID” button, 1 bid is deducted from your account and your bid is placed. The result of your bid is that the price of the auction on which you are bidding increases by 1 cent or $0.01 and the corresponding timer increases by 15 seconds.
If no bids are placed after you and the timer clock ends or reaches zero then you win the auction and then you pay the price at which you won the auction plus shipping charges.

This is a scam – DO NOT BID ON THIS SITE – ViaZiz is a scam!
Seems like a scam to me! You bid on an item and even if you dont win it you have still paid for it!
And they say that there isnt an automated bidding system, but I bet there is
I have experience on “penny sites” and consider myself fairly good. There are a few of them that I frequent and the one that stands out as not above board is ViaZiz.com/auctions.
The reason for my saying this is because I have spent a long time watching the site and the various auctions. As soon as I, a bid buyer and paying client, start to bid on an item then all of the sudden the whole bidding picture changes.
Example, The item shows various times it is “going” and as soon as you start the current bidders (not only the last which had the “going bid” start bidding furiously. That could be a norm yes but I think there are Bots (inside bidders to push up the price and ensure you never win).
Example, whilst bidding on an item you sometimes have to re-load your “Bid Buddy” and whilst doing this and you set it WITHOUT any indication to the other bidders, as soon as you have then the picture changes from the others going from single bid to a new party using the “Bid Buddy” option. – Bots again.
Example, bidding on an item with “Bid Buddy” against single bidders, but as soon as you buy more bids then on comes another “auto bidder” – Bots again.
Example, whenever I bid on an item it always goes way over the top and you just throw everything at it and it just carries on and on not like other items which finish a lot sooner. This to me indicates that there is something fishy (Bots) when it comes to real paying bidders.
BUSTED: – I use two browsers ie8 and Firefox, Whilst signed in with Firefox and bidding on an item all seems perfect and smooth, but then I go into the site on ie8 and the item I am bidding on doesn’t even appear on the LIVE AUCTIONS page??? As soon as I sign in on ie8 then it all of the sudden appears. (is this possible fraud?)
Some time ago I went in on the “contact us” page and requested twice, information such as Company Registration number and the name of their auditors but to no avail.
I have also contacted them on the “contact us” page and asked about the item not appearing on the Live Auctions page but as yet I have no response.
Like I said I frequent other sites as this one and have a good record of “winnings” and but thus far nothing on ViaZiz.com.
BEWARE PEOPLE this site seems that it could be a fraud and you are throwing your money down a big black hole.
Like the review great points I like the way you have explain what on online action means what different products the great results that people have. Also you explain the different products that they and the incredible that you can get if you win the action
i love to be a part of this
hey guys im a new user of viaziz but still in a kind of mood to take part or not..
Arrematei um iMac em Dec 29th 2010, 12:58:22 e até o momento não recebi o produto arrematado.
I was the winner of an iMac on Dec 29th 2010, 12:58:22, and so far not received the product auctioned.
Be warned! I visited the Viaviz site a few days ago and entered my credit card details; however, I changed my mind and exited. I just learned from my credit card company that Viaziz attempted to extract £99.99 from my account fraudulently. I will be contacting the police. Thankfully, Barclaycard blocked the transaction.
Stay away from viaziz. They processed a transaction of $199.99 without my knowledge and without my approval, and now they are refusing to refund me. Sites like this need to be investigated & closed down. There are many unhappy customers complaining about this website. You have been warned
Why can’t the authorities root out scammers like this.
I have had the pleasure of giving these people $359.00 of my money which I did’t know had been withdrawn until things were too late. It coerces you with its well set out website, then boom! I have been trying for the past 3 weeks for them to reply to my emails but nothing, so I tried by changing my password, and within seconds received it! Please root these scammers out.
Be warned and stay away from viaziz.I visited the site on December 8th 2012 and entered my credit card details upon registeration. I didn’t complete the the entire authority form and deleted the details. I learnt from my credit card statement that $359.99 was already taken away by viaziz on December 10th 2012. I tried to contact them but to no avail. Emailed viaziz with my concerns but they refused to refund my money. BEWARE PEOPLE this site seems to be a fraud and you are throwing your money down a big black hole. SCAM, SCAM, SCAM.
