Warning: TopLevelPR is now scamming under a number of new websites: prkick, crowdfundsocial, backersflood and use a fake review site crowdfundforum to post fake reviews and Fiverr bought video reviews (pretending to be campaign managers).
They use fake reviews, false claims and rip you off with a smile.
I did my research, research I should have done before hiring the prkick aka crowdfundsocial aka smartboostsystem aka backersflood scam crew. EVERYTHING they claim is false:
1. they only started in December 2016, not 3-5 years before that
2. they have the first page in google full of reviews, but when looking closer, all self-created reviews, not a single one of them is real, they manage a fake blog/forum site crowdfundforum.com originating in the Philippines. It in few a few articles and several posts on prkick and how amazing they are. It's of course, owned and operated by them.
Here is an example of what pretends to be a campaign manager, but is a hired actor: https://www.fiverr.com/klevitt70/record-a-natural-video-testimonial-in-hd? . THEY USED AN ACTOR TO PRETEND BEING A CAMPAIGN MANAGER!!
3. they have a review with a video on this site with "susan-raised-over-90k-on-kickstarter-in-3-simple-steps-crowdfunding-success" - the video is from a person selling video reviews on fiverr. It's NOT real. The campaign owner confirmed me that they never worked with them. To show how they blatantly scammed me, and you: the campaign ended years before
To show how they blatantly scammed me, and you: the campaign ended years before prkick.com even started (they never worked with the campaign) and they use fake Fiverr testimonials.
5. They operate different sites, crowdfundsocial, toplevelpr and backerflood.com. All use the same type of images (all stolen from the internet), fake team members (images are from other people) and fake 'campaigns we've worked with'.
Needless to say that they brought in exactly zero funds in and that for a fully funded campaign.
AVOID!

Hello I'm Gary, Co-Founder at BackerFlood. This post incorrectly mentions our company name in it and has caused some confusion online lately. We have never had a client named "Carolus" from Alabama (is that even a real name?) and we have no connection with these other random services who do not even do Facebook ads. I have contacted the admin of this website today so I hope it will be removed soon!
We often see competitors who write things online saying that every crowdfunding company in the world is scam (except their own company name of course). I can't vouche for any of the other dozen or so services they listed on this post. But I can definitely speak for our company...
We've got an amazing team here that is focused on results. That's why we're the only company that uses a win-win % model to get paid. If we can't get you results then we won't ask for your business!
We have tons of references available from happy customers you can contact. We can also jump on a call and do a screen share showing you the results we've been able to obtain for dozens of other projects just like yours.
Give our friendly team a call anytime to learn more! :)
