ziinga update 1

Very sneaky and clever site if you own it and are banking the money!
banks seem to be stuck at not being able to refund your money as you clicked the agree button. but read the terms and contracts and if you do your a fool!!!!!!!!!!!! hidden charges pop up on your account and crazy requests for proof of who you are turn up. There seems to be a flaw that you join the club for a lovely fee (read your small print, its supposed to be there somewhere) "NO postage" if your a member but you pay postage for what you win. Then they have your details wham bang thank you all the way to the bank.
call them on the phone and its a really bad line, you get put on hold, live chat is below and emails get logged and replied to but if you click the link to cancel its another £28 for the privilege. No guarantee your going to get your goods or a refund but good old Ziinga gets some more money!

Please wait for a site operator to respond.
You are now chatting with 'Christian'
Christian: Welcome to Ziinga! How can I help you?
voidcrystal: hello please can you send me details of how to obtain a refund
Christian: I'd be more than happy to assist you with your concern.
voidcrystal: i cannot receive my goods as your terms asking for copies of passports and credit cards are obscure
Christian: Let me go ahead and check that one for you.
Christian: May I have your username?
voidcrystal: voidcrystal
Christian: Thank you for that information.
Christian: Let me go ahead and check that one for you.
Christian: May I put you on hold for a minute or two (2) while I check the information?
voidcrystal: i would rather you did not put me on hold as i have just been on hold on the phon e
Christian: Sorry for that.
Christian: \just give me one moment while I'm checking your acct
Christian: Thank you for waiting.
Christian: Upon checking you have won Senseo coffee maker.
voidcrystal: yes and paid postage for it
Christian: Due to Ziinga's one gift per household policy, users need to confirm their identity by sending the following documents as proof
Christian: The status of the won auction is still asking for documents.
voidcrystal: but to obtain it you have asked for proff of who i am which is out landish and why is it not listed that you require proof of credit card photo of passport etc
Christian: Scanned copy of Credit Card (front and back)
Christian: Scanned copy of valid ID (passport or driver's license)
Christian: Scanned copy of signed credit card form. Download and fill up the form from this link: http://www.ziinga.com/uk/pages/creditcard_form
Christian: All required documents have to be submitted to info@ziinga.com.
voidcrystal: only a fool would send this amount of information over the internet
Christian: If you want you can cover the numbers of the card just leave the last 4 digits and you can also cover the cvv number just leave the signature.
Christian: As long as the signature is the same for the signature from your valid ID's.
voidcrystal: all i wish to do is get a refund for the membership 59.99 x 2 and the other costs you have taken as i have read reports on the internet from people who have done so and not received anything still
voidcrystal: you then have great details of a person to clone their records
voidcrystal: i shop online and have never been asked these requiremetns before and my bank states this this is unorthodox
Christian: We understand your concern.
voidcrystal: please just refund my money

Christian: I understand your concern. just give me a few minutes to process your request.
voidcrystal: i would still like a refund
