Scam

They ask you for a credit card and immediately they charge you $30 and if you want to buy something you need to pay more money of what they said.

Beware!

After giving card info, immediately took 30 dollars with no warning! Scam! Do not join!

Terrible

The government auction items appear to be legitimate. In contrast, the other auctions require participants to purchase bid credits upfront, with little to no chance of winning, resulting in a costly and frustrating experience. Do not use

Scam

in order to buy anything you have to buy their points , and at the end you need for each 1cent increase 1 point . You will find your self to spend a lot of points and get nothing!
Shame on you apple to let this fraudulent app on your platform!

New customer

Newly downloaded and so far I like what I see!

Sign In

Going Great!

First time here, let the savings begin!

Charge $

⚠️ Be careful: you can pay and walk away with nothing

⚠️ Be careful: you can pay and walk away with nothing

This app is NOT affiliated with the government, despite what its name might suggest. In paid auctions, you spend credits on every bid, and those credits generally aren’t refunded if you lose. If you win, you still have to pay the final auction price on top of your bidding costs.

The “free $50” isn’t free money either—it’s a discount that requires you to purchase credits. Read the terms carefully before paying. What looks like a bargain can end up costing much more than expected.

Scam

Complete scam, do not install

Scam

This is a scam, watch out!

Scam

Very scammy. Now I’ve been charged $30 and don’t know why. Not to mention I deleted the account within an hour of looking at it. I didn’t just delete the app I went it and actually deleted the entire account. Don’t fall for it.

Great functionality and good deals

Everything is super easy to use and I’m always able to find a good deal!

GovAuc are Thieves

They charge too much for points and they make buying something outright impossible because it’s outrageously expensive. Don’t use this app you might win something small but they’ll steal from you more than you win!!!

Enjoy

Great deals

Dude this is unreal

Made me pay 40 dollars ahead just to confirm my card and it said I couldn’t buy anything or give me the 20 dollar bonus it claimed it would give me but then ultimately I would be losing money from the “bonus” that is offers

Very cool

Love this site

Fun

It’s really fun trying to get things for a cheaper price.

Asking $30 upfront total scam

I saw an ad for this website and it looks like a total scam. They’re asking $30 upfront. I’m gonna delete my account just use eBay or Vinted. Scam.

Don’t fall for it

Rights after you download u will win something so cheap that it will make u blv its easy. But then u see the real world. The bid goes up by 1cent and u have to spend 14cent to bid for 1 cent🤣. Additionally its full of stupid people who will bid without any calculation. I have seen people bidding $10 gift card and took it to 14$. So don’t waste ur money. People are stupid and if u compete with them u will also become stupid.
