If you get a call from any company that makes an offer to guarantee something like 26 million hits with your choice of keyword/s for an exorbitant amount of money - something like $1000 per keyword, do yourself a favor and hang up the phone. There is a DBA company that goes by s4tn.com or SolutionsForTheNet.com (they have other aka's) located in Las Vegas NV that have one objective - separate you from your money... They really don't care how they do it either. They are polished and professional scam artists who use smoke and mirrors, bait and switch and other tricks that will make a used care salesman look like a Sunday school teacher... How do I know, I am ashamed to say - but yes they got me, just another old "geezer" not real computer savvy and all to trusting... I even thought I would have some protection from the only credit card these scam artists accept, American Express... I soon found out why this is the only card they accept... American Express is a 24-7 company, which means they process payments over the weekend and nights - you won't have time to call and stop payment and once the scam artists have the money, they will not give it back...
Here are just a few of the particular scams the put over on me.
- They claimed to belong to the better business bureau and even showed me their record online... It was not their record at all - They are not members of any BBB...
- They showed me how my web site would appear as #1 on a search in 14 different search engines... This only works on computers with webmenu software installed and it does not work on all the search engines they advertise.
- I was guaranteed 10000 hits over a 6 month period or I would receive another 6 months free. They even calculated my earnings at $15,000 if 1/2 of 1 % of the hits joined my organization.
- I was shown a set of terms and conditions which I had to agree to, but when I received the supposed order, the terms and conditions were different. The set I had not seen stated that these were not hits but rather impressions, not even a good probability for a page view...
- I was asked to sign a statement that said that they could discontinue my "advertising" at any time, with or without cause and there would be no refunds of any kind. When I refused to sign, they called me names and then assured me that they would get my money one way or another... This was from their so called operations manager...
What they got was money from a disabled man, confined to a wheelchair and on a fixed income... What I received in return "000000".... Please, whether you like what I post or not, help me get the word out on these guy's -- this company and all their "aka's" need to be put out of business... They claim to be partners with webmenu.com...
If you have been on the receiving end of their scam, please contact me so we can add your name and information to the current 20+ people who have lost their money on this scam!!!
