Hi,
I was wondering if anyone could help me. My husband and I have a home based IT company. We have gotten to the point where we needed more clients and my husband found a company online called www.strategicmarketingus.com He spoke to a Darrin Paulson. We were contacted by 3 or 4 other companies but chose to go with him because he was so convincing and seemed to be the best fit for us.
He asked us to send via Fed Ex almost 1000 dollars which is alot to us right now, but he assured us that his reps would be able to set enough appointments for my husband to more than make that back and then some. Due to the fact they were already working with companies like ours
Once the money was sent the communication ended almost immediatly, we tried stopping payment on the check, but it was too late. You hear about this type of stuff happening, but never think it can happen to you.
We finally received the news that the calling had been done and zero results? How is this possible we asked? He would only answer us by email and not take our calls. His answer was sorry but they did all they could. Now we realized that it would be a risk of sorts, but the lack of communication, false promises on top of the fact that their were 0 appointments for almost 1000 dollars seemed just downright unfair.
We called our bank and found out we have no recourse, which is probably why when we asked if we could put the 1000 on a credit card he told us they didnt accept them!
Its too late for us but just wanted to make everyone aware of this company in Scottsdale Arizona.
Here is the contact information:
Strategicmarketingus.com
Darrin Paulson
14362 N. Frank Lloyd Wright Blvd Suite 1000
Scottsdale, AZ 85260
480-513-6800
dpaulson@strategicmarketingus.com
Does anyone else have any other ideas of how I might recoup part of the monies we sent them?
We would appreciate any help.
Tammy
