Complaint Review: Internet Advancement

My company was cold called on by a Mr. Justin Fischer of Internet Advancement between 1:30pm - 2:00pm EST on 15 May 2006. Mr. Fischer went on to sell Internet Advancements "services." I asked him very detailed questions about his services. He sold me an amazing tail about how we would be #1 on

Google on 20 different keywords. He stated that all our keywords would make it to the first page of

Google and Yahoo. In fact he even stated that we would "be fully refunded if ALL our keywords do not make it on the first page

of Google".

Clearly this did not happened after about 5 months and we request a refund with full cancellation of services. Internet Advancement would not get back to me. After weeks of emailing and calling I finally told them I am going to talk to my lawyer. With that finally on 10/5/2006 at 1:04:58 PM EST Mr. Allen Anderson "Refunds Manager" (amazing that a company has someone with this titled speaks volumes) emailed me from allena@internetadvancement.net and stated "You do not have a platform to support a legal case and it's foolish for you to think that you are going to strong-arm anyone into releasing you from your contract.

If you contest the charges, we will win the chargeback and if you refuse to pay it we will have no qualms with referring the debt to an outside source in effort to collect. I find it very troubling that people put off the shortcomings of their business endeavors on others rather than taking responsibility for it themselves. If people are not buying your products, maybe you should take a closer look at your market or maybe even your prices but do not attempt to make it our fault if your business is not doing well."

Thanks, Mr. Anderson, Mr. "Refund Manager". My company does not need any of your help. We are growing faster than your rap sheet. The only thing you did for my company was steal over 2k from us. Not to mention hurt our Google pagerank. Our page rank has fallen since Internet Advancement "helped" us.

How about you refund us and put us on your Do Not Call list! Stay away from this company and invest your money elsewhere!
