Just perusing the website "Madbid.com" after seeing an ad for it somewhere. Have a look - Another lovely way of squeezing money out of gullible innocent folks perchance?

Scam. £1.30 per bid? Get stuffed.

I only had a quick look but this seems to be a bit like those quizs that are all the rage at the moment.
You text in a "bid" and the lowest UNIQUE bid wins the item so they can claim what a bargain the person got as they won something like a big TV or car for a few pounds but the money is all made in the fact it costs every person £1 to text in their bid!

...or even worse and no-one wins anything. The people who run it could scam this easily by making a bid themselves and stalling other entries.
