just found this website last week www.bid4prizes.com and it looks real but i want to make sure its not a scam somehow. has any of you heard of this website before or a site like it? There was no charge to make pretend bids so I made some and was one number off from winninga big screen tv. If there are other sites like this can you tell me what they are? If this is a scam somehow please tell me. they do charge to remove ads but i dont care about those so i didnt give them any money at all. all they say is you have to make lowest unique bid to win the prize.

I just got this message today about a computer I was bidding on yesterday.

Congratulations John! We are pleased to inform you that you had the lowest unique bid at Bid4Prizes for the Area-51 PC! Your winning lowest unique bid amount was 967.

I can really use a new computer mine is ancient. This better be for real! So far I haven't been told how much shipping or taxes are. This is the 5th item I tried to win and was worth the time it took!
