Advertising Cons - be aware
I was having a general chat with a customer the otherday, those that have spoken to me know how i love to chat lol
Anyway it came up during the conversation that Mary had agreed to do some advertising with a company, the name sounded familiar as we had agreed to do something very similar a few years back - then i remembered it was a con - it was only then that Mary did some google searches on the company coming back with negative feedback - i have pasted her email below but have removed the companies name for legal reasons
If you get cold called by advertsiing companies - DO SOME RESEARCH! Only takes 5 mins to Google someone - if they are hard selling then dont buy - it cant be that good if they have to use heavy handed tactics.
Her email reads- "Thank you very much for the warning about ********, we could have very easily been out of pocket with these "IT Thugs" as i will now call them because after reading about them and how they prey on small businesses thats what they are ,and thanks to talking to yourself you have made us aware thank you very much from us both the dog grooming business is my daughters and she is only 20 and been in business for a year and to have this mob rip her off basically for 200 pounds is not on but thanks to your service there is one less they will get ,yours faithfully Mary and Amy"
