JigoCity

Yesterday, my friends and I were panicked. We bought some weekly train tickets (My Train 1) from a website called JigoCity for $15 each 2 days ago. The normal price is $25, so it was really a good steal. However, we found out from OzBargain that this website is kind of dodgy. It is new (and we knew it was new. Maybe just a week old). And some guys realised that they don't have the security required for an online shopping website (I noticed this too 2 days ago, but didn't think much @_@). Also, some people claimed that they were charged $59.99 five minutes after they purchased it.

Anyway, we thought this website is actually a scam and started planning on cancelling our credit cards. My friends weren't too bad. They only bought this ticket and another DJ gift card. I, on the other hand, bought 5 >>_<<. I bought My Bus 2 last week (again, half price, 13 bucks off, that's why I got caught of course!!! I'm such a sucker for deal >>_<<>

But today ^^ I received My Bus 2 in the mail from JigoCity yayyyyy ^^ At least my 13 bucks didn't go down the drain :D So maybe this website is not a scam then? :P Well we'll see when my other tickets arrive *fingers crossed* :P
