I signed in thinking it was phtobucket and aparently signed up for this useless site Bid4prizes. I was charged on my cell phone $10.00 instantly. As soon as I saw the charge Icalled Bid4prizes and explained to them what had happened, the support person said that as soon as the charge shows up on their records they would issue me a refund. So I waited a day and called back only to be greeted by a rude support worker who refused to be helpful and referred to me as being stupid. So of course along with being insulted they have my money and I have absolutely nothing to show for it. As far as I am concerned this is deceptive and just short of scamming someone. Just a warning for those signing up to Photobucket and Bid4prizes. Once the have your money forget about it.
