The agreement was to provide advertisement for my company that was approved by me. They never sent me any proofs; nor did they follow up by phone or email. I chalked it up as a loss.
After months I started receiving invoices.
I finally replied and told them to stop spamming me with this invoice; I wasn t their customer, nor had I been provided a service. They told me I was outstanding on my balance.
Confused, I told them to provide evidence. They quickly sent me a phone message where I agreed to their services, but on the same message they said they would provide advertisement for me to review prior to issue - which I never received. They were so aggressive with showing me where I consented on the phone; it was literally appalling. So cavalier and matter of fact - here s the phone message where you provided consent . Who uses the word consent when referring to sales?
I was fed up and asked them to send me a copy of the advertisement. They provided me a copy. They had gone on my Facebook and ripped off a bunch of old photos; none of which were relevant anymore. A logo that was outdated and no longer indicative of our company. Furthermore, it didn t have an email or website address. It is worthless to me in every way.
I told them I wouldn t pay. I asked if I didn t pay would they send me to collections, they said yes . I paid them over the phone immediately and told them never to call me again.
I then sent an email to the salesman that had originally called me and outlined how everything went wrong.
He called me back. I told him the whole story again with his colleague in the room. They listened and offered to provide additional advertising (with the same incorrect advertisement). Yes, you heard me correctly - instead of offering some form of discount, concession, or refund; they chose to offer me a more voluminous approach to my advertising with the same WRONG ADVERTISEMENT.
As a small business owner, I have never received a bad review online. However, I never accept money from unhappy clients. I ve taken it on the chin multiple times when I screwed up or my team screwed up. Mascot Media s incentive for business is commission based; not customer based.
They don t care about you business. These guys are clowns.
