Same story as others. My son searched on-line for 'book theory test' and theorytest.net popped up first. Seemed official and no (obvious) mention that he was paying £20 extra for their services. Have asked for a refund of the difference .. awaiting a response.

i got in contact with evening encounters which is a companionship site for adults, because i really needed the money and they said it was £600 a night, so they said that i had a confirmed booking and i had to pay the registration fee which was £270, I paid it and that evening they called me and said that the client had cancelled, all that week i was trying to get in contact with them so that they could find me a booking or give me back my money (before i paid the registration i asked the lady if my registration fee was refundable and she told me yes), every time that i call them, they tell me that they are looking for bookings and its been 5 months already, but before i paid they said i would be getting 2 bookings a week and i havent seen none till today. I then called them and said i wanted my money back and they are telling me that my registration is for a year and i dont get my money back. They havent even tried to get in touch with me .

Adfirmative's CEO Joshua Lee, will defraud you, by telling you he will give you 1 1/2 times the traffic in dispute and by knowing exactly what time and date to file the rebuttle dispute claim on your credit card, I disuted 8,764.02 in charges on December 14, 2009 from Adfirmative and stopped advertising on taht date Dec 14, 2009 because I had no conversions from Adfirmative traffic that were true. At first they looked good because, I was getting credits from my feeds. After a closer look that they were only clicking on one paid link per visit and and by receiving an $18,000 charge back from advertisers. I contacted the CEO Joshua Lee to work out a deal. He said please plesae please reverse the dispute and I will go into your account and only send you tier one traffic, I will give you 150% credit on your expenditure with adfirmative, So I said OK I will give it another chance. So I did he sent me nothing that was even close to good traffic it was all the same old junk but I was paying even more per visit. So I reopened the intial case and wrote a letter to my CC company withover 10 exhibits, I though for sure the case was open and shut.
When it came down to the last minute on 1/14/2010 he faxed in a statement that said I had credit back of $7,022 and said the case was already solved, and said I also that I had spent $17,000 in Jan 2010 "Of which I didn't" Plus he zeroed out the account and never issued the credit to the CC company. He won the case by doing this. Be very careful when dealing with Allison Padgent & Joshua Lee or any other entity with LF Media or Adfirmative. If you do, make sure you use Google Analytics as a tracking device and look very close to try to track down the IP's.

I just want to say don't fall the trick, that majestic escorts are pull on people, over the internet.

They want you to put your details in to their profiles, and with in 24 hours you have all these fit nice looking people
wanting to date you,and take you out, But the
only trick is you have to contact them.(send them a email)

And to do that you, have to make a payment of £30pound, per month,to contact that person.
once you,ve handed over your money, and send a message to the person, who want to book you for the evening, you will never hear from that person again.

To add insult to injury majestic escorts, want another £30pound to give them a months notice, that you don't want there services. Please don't fall for it like i did.

::: Business Finder - http://www.businessfinder.co.uk :::

Company have rang to renew their services.
Company claimed to help with my Google Rankings.
They actually run a Business Directory - and simply list you using a Google Map on their site.

They have rang 3 times.


1st time:
I queried what they actually did.
They stated (after multiple ways of asking) that they improve the websites rankigns in both Google Organic and Google Business Search.
I asked if they build backlinks (asked several times) - I was told no.
I then stated that I'd appreciate a phone call from one of their Optimisers/Technicians - as I failed to understand how they could optimse a website without creating links and without touching the website (they have no access to it!).

No callback received.


2nd time:
They were simply told "not interested.


3rd time:
They rang the same day as the 2nd time!
Again - they were asked what they do.

They made claims of Optimising the Website rankings in Google.
They made claims of being "Associated with Google".
They made claims of having direct access to Googles Data and thus getting stuff done faster.
They made claims of being "Goverment Approved".

I questioned all of those things - as none of it is "right".
When pushed - the caller stated that their directory site will help the website improve in the rankings due to the link they provide.
The only link that could be found was via the Map - which is JavaScript - and not even a full URL. Google will Not follow such a link - so it has NO SEO value!

The caller stated he would get a manager to call me back.

.

They do not have access to the site and have not made any links - so they cannot improve the the sites Google rankings.
There is only 1 SEO company associated with Google - and they got that when they bought out a company.
They do not have direct access to Googles DataCenters.
There are no SEO companies approved by the UK Goverment - it is not a regulated industry.
(They apaprently have ISO approvals - there are no SEO ISOs!)

.

BusinessFinder are taking peoples money under false pretense.
They are making false claims about association with Google.
They are making false claims about being Goverment approved.
They are making false claims about doing SEO work.

They are simply a little directory site with a big GoogleMap.

That is it.

Do NOT sign up to this company for SEO purposes.
(Feel free to pay their fees for being listed on the Directory - but that is all you should be paying for!)

A nasty experience with the 118118 Directory Enquiry service needs to be publicised widely to avoid others falling for it, but I regard my costs as foregone.
My daughter was locked out of her house with the keys in her hand. After repeated attempts to release the lock, it was obvious we had to call a locksmith, but who? We rang 118118 and asked to be provided with a number for a local trader. We were given several and rang 2 to determine the earliest appointment time.
Both gave different rates, but the cheaper one could not arrive for a few hours so we booked one after being advised cost would be £65 call out + £55 labour.
Whilst waiting we received a call from the cheaper guy saying he could be there reasonably quickly. He was told we were expecting another company, but said he was coming anyway.
Needless to say, he was the only one to arrive and he immediatley made a phone call to someone with the same name as the expected guy from the dearer company.
Our suspicions were raised but he did the job (approx 1.25 hours of time) and then rung someone to report completion.
We were astonished to be told that we had to pay the guy at the end of the phone by card and that the cost would be £185 - £55 call out + £65 per hour for 2 hours work (no part hours).
A negotiated charge was agreed at £140, but I still have not received the receipt, in spite of promise to send immediately by email.
Never will I use 118118 again as they are apparently paid by national companies to give out their numbers as if they are local. If I could get my £140 back (or have they taken £185 from my card??) I would be extremely happy. If I save someone else the problem, then it was worth complaining.

Back in April this year I sold a mobile phone on e-bay. The buyer from USA requested that I post it to his (cousin) in Pakistan. This I did, and got a certificate of postage. In May, paypal initiated a chargeback claim, which I responded to by e-mail stating that I had followed the buyers instructions by mailing to Pakistan. The reply from paypal was negative, and I gather was sent by a machine. Eventually the money was released by paypal to my bank account on 25/05/09. Since then I have received numerous e-mails from paypal requesting that I restore my NEGATIVE ballance. I have replied to all e-mails from them, and had an answer from the same machine.
The next move was that paypal put this in the hands of a debt collection agency, and because of fear of having interest added, I have today paid their demand of £124.83. Which may I add is more than I sold the mobile for, not including the postage that I paid for, but did not charge the buyer.
Please can you reply, pref by e-mail as to how I stand on this matter, and is there any way I can claim.
I am also without the mobile phone, which I posted to the joker in Pakistan.

Thank you,
Ian F.
