Solid Ad Solutions Scam Revealed!

Savannah, GA, July 15, 2010 - It seems Chris Lewallen and his brother Jim Lewallen* of Solid Ad Solutions, LLC in Phoenix Arizona are preying upon senior citizens. In this scam, they target elderly people sometimes in their 90's promising them that they will make 10's of thousands of dollars every month with one of their online “stores”. As it turns out, their supposed stores are nothing more than a bunch of Amazon associate links and Google Adsense ads which offer little chance of making any money. Just about anybody can assemble one of these sites all by themselves for a couple hundred dollars. And Chris & Jim are charging $18, 600 for it!

Of course, Chris promises them “marketing” also for this exorbitant price, but getting useless clicks on a website are a dime a dozen. From what I can gather from one of his victims, they do not even deliver on the traffic that was promised much less good traffic.

Whatever you do, run like hell if you happen to stumble into the lair of Solid Ad Solutions, LLC. For $18, 600, you will get a cheap, useless website and useless traffic to boot! You will not see one penny of income. It’s an out and out scam!

If you are an officer of the law or consumer reporter, please do all you can to stop these fraudsters.

Note... they have a Better Business Bureau rating of “F” and have 8 complaints filed against them.

Chris Lewallen can be reached at:
Solid Ad Solutions, LLC 14850 N. Cave Creek Rd Ste 2 Phoenix, AZ 85032
Phone: [protected] Fax: [protected] email: [protected]@solidadsolutions.com

Jim Lewallen can be reached at:
The Lewallen Group
Keller Williams Northeast Realty 21410 N 19th Avenue, Ste 131 Phoenix AZ, 85027
Phone: [protected] Fax: [protected] email: [protected]@TheLewallenGroup.com

For more information about this news release, contact Bill Anderson at baa912 @ yahoo.com

* Note: Jim Lewallen claims that he has nothing to do with the company that he started in June 2008 according to the Arizona Corporation Commission database. He is also the registrar of the domain name SolidAdSolutions.com. I’ll leave it up to law enforcement to determine if he in fact has any current association with Solid Ad Solutions, LLC.

Solid Ad Solutions FAILED to repay my Uncle the total $18, 600 as they agreed to do. Now... I can't get in touch with them, but I think they are still in business as I can find other victims on the internet that are recent. They also go by the names...

As of June 6, 2009 i been with solid ad solutions I had 2 domain names and they were suppose to send me 700, 000 visitors to my website and they never did. So i gave them some time and i never had 700, 000 visitors. I spend 7, 000 dollars and they never paid me not even 1 dollars so now i'm suffering now because i'm still paying my credit cards and now I owe 800 dollars on child supports because Solid ad solutions never paid me or give me back my money

How in the hell did you get the information that Jim Lewallen is involved? He has nothing to do with this and his name was used to start the business by people who don't want to use their own name. But I guess you can write anything you want about people on the internet these days. By the way did you know that Bill Anderson is a convicted child molester? Google him online, it is true!

I was also a victim of Solid Ad Solutions aka Solid Tech Solutions and now they are called Silver Group 1. I lost over $18, 000 to these crooks but was able to get my money back by hiring a company called CR Consumer Resources. They did all the work for me. I cant believe I got my money back from this whole fiasco. If you want your money back, get a hold of this company. They're really helpful, kind people who know what they're doing. www.crconsumerresources.com

Please send a complaint to your state's Attorney General's Office. Venting online is a good way to let others know about the scam, but in order to get law enforcement to take action, you need to complaint to the right place.

Dido, I am a victim of this evil scheme. They took over $4, 000 from me and now I am having to pay off my credit cards. I haven't made a single penny. The websites are real because I have ordered items and received them in the mail. But, I just don't understand how I have no money to show for this. I canceled my credit cards that I had given to them, so they can't charge on them in the future.

I spoke to Colby Smith, Josh Robinson, and Corey Barns. They know just what to say. They must have made a script so that they can legally say all the right things. Take my word for it--all this company is after is you money. I have been in this business over seven months and I only have 878 visitors to one of my websites. They had told me that they would increase visitors to be approximately 500, 000 people. Their words were "The opportunity is there to make money, but they cannot control if anyone buys products from my websites".

Warning! Stay away from all these type of calls. They will give your number out to others and they will be calling you for the same thing. Just hang up on them. If you didn't call them, all they want is your money.

Josh Robinson that works for them got 2400.00 out of me. I am disabled and on Social Security Disability for Multiple Sclerosis. Sometimes I am on meds and don't make good decisions and he caught me while I was on these meds. Going to try to get my money back with the help of my doctor's writing letters that I should not have been making decisions on my own at that time.
If they call wanting to do a debt analysis, just hang up on them.
