scammed verbal agreement for advertising
In September of 2009, a “Matt” called me while I was busy at work. I did not keep track of the date because I did not think to, nor did I think a phone conversation was an issue. He proceeded to tell me about his advertising company and how they could set my company up with a free website with the picture I provide… I was interested in finding out how and told him to call me again on Friday. From there Matt said, hold on, we just need to verify some company information first. He then said he was transferring me to someone who could do that and she began to ask me information . . . I said I wasn’t sure I wanted to proceed with the phone conversation and Matt came back on and said “just get through this, we need to verify information and we will workout the details later” – I was not really paying attention to the call anymore, as I was just being polite, thinking they would call me again on Friday. I confirmed my company info and was told I would get a phone call again from Matt on Friday. I didn’t receive that call, instead a few weeks later, I got a bill for $670 for advertising I did not authorize or approve. I am disputing this as I did NOT approve it. This initial phone call was not an agreement to do anything I was told would be called back on Friday. The whole thing IS A SCAM. Now, I have to take time out of my work day to take care of this, not to mention the stress that has come along with receiving a $670 bill from some company that has only called me once. AND they are also claiming to have sent me leads for my company and I am being charged $4.00 a lead – of which I have not received any lead information. This is a SCAM COMPANY with various names.
