This looks... SO fake... is it actually real? Whoever designed the site seems to have gone out of their way to make it LOOK like a bloody scam, lmao.

A news broadcast (News9) did a report on it, so I'm guessing it has some truth behind it? It does indeed look fake, though.

Never trust anything on a news broadcast. It is my experience that reporters try to get information out as quickly as possible and often do not fully research what they are reporting on.

In addition, see the note under the video on the site: "Penny auction in the video is not affiliated with Swipebids." Basically, what was just being reported on has NOTHING to do with this site... Lol!
