reviews and complaints

SCAM all the way. I purchased these services with no results what so ever. The advertise a 100% money back guarantee, but guess again if you think you getting your money back. It states that "After six months, if you not satisfied, they will refund your money" and they told me that I need to have the contract for 12 months before I can cancel if not satisfied after the first 6 months. In other words, pay for another 6 months so we can take your money again. Stay away!

was in charge of handling my account. *** was very disrespectful when telling him I no longer want to publish my ad after reading reviews that they just flood your ad with bots, so you get the views you pay for. *** told me I owe them $200 for creating the ad, Which was trash and had to of taken 5 seconds to make. That would also remove me from their calling list, which is every week btw! After I told him I didnt want to pay for something I never agreed to or want, *** up the phone and charged my card $498. For an ad I never approved or agreed to. My bank is currently taking care of the charge and Im awaiting a call back from his supervisor. Dont even waste your time with this company or *** for that matter.

If I could give this one a negative rating I would. This company is a complete fraud. After hanging around for 6 months, I asked for a cancellation, having been told after 6 months I could receive a complete money back guarantee if I werent completely happy with their services. They now tell me Ive had *** engagements, meaning *** people clicked my ad which would have taken them to my website. I had nothing even remotely close to that on my end - not even ONE inquiry. And, you guessed it, because they delivered on their end, there wont be a money back guarantee. Absolute scamat least I only lost $1,300. Some people get taken for more. I would like a lawyer to take this one on

I have received absolutely zero leads because of this product, despite purchasing an entire year's subscription up front ($1500) and am nearing the end. Their website no longer exists. Their customer service was excellent up front and they were communicative so I believed that they would have follow through, but I am astonished at how terrible this service was. I will be forced to file a complaint against them via my credit card company if they attempt to auto-renew me.

I received a call from this business back in January, they were very kind up front (which is exactly how they reel you in) and explained to me that I would be supporting veterans and first responders if I signed up for an ad campaign with them. I was told that it would cost $1 up front, and that I could cancel at anytime, no hassle. So I signed up with them, and I approved the ad they sent me (which also, looks awful. I genuinely can't believe I paid $120 a month for this) and heard nothing afterwards. Fast forward to February and I'm trying to cancel the subscription because I received no analytic reports whatsoever, and I end up emailing and calling over the span of two weeks just to get a hold of someone that would cancel my subscription. At the time of writing this review, I just got off the phone with one of the reps stating that I had signed up for a 12 month subscription and that if I wanted to cancel I would be charged a $120 cancellation fee. Absolutely absurd. The rep that I had originally talked to when I signed up NEVER mentioned this, and I am now disputing the charges with my bank. This business is a fraud, stay far away from them and please don't get trapped in their scheme like I did.

DO NOT GIVE THESE PEOPLE YOUR CARD INFORMATION! This "business" contacted me about an advertising campaign where they design an ad for you to market your business online. The ad is "created" for you within 24hrs and sent back to you for review. You let the design team know of any alterations for them to change to your liking. The ad I received was a generic template with my name, phone number, and address on it. The worst ad I have ever seen. I don't know who's first day it was using UX design but I expected better from "professionals". They asked for your card information before they get started on your ad under the guise of expedience and with the promise that you will not be charged until you are happy with the design. The initial design was so bad I didn't want anything to do with this service so I stopped contacting them. I was pestered several times after that about the ads design that I clearly did not want. 30 days later I was charged $219 from EASY GEO FENCING. I called and left a message. The return phone call from the same man pestering me about the terrible design told me that after 30 days they charge you anyway. He then asked me for an additional payment in order to cancel my service. I signed no contract, I didn't receive an ad, or online marketing but I was told I'll be sent an invoice for over $2000. I made sure to let them know that the day I see an invoice from this scam they will be hearing form my lawyer and it will cost them A LOT more than $2000. I look forward to this day in court.

I received an advertising call from easygeo.com from Aaron Olsen stating he was with the Home Town Hero Project. He stated his organization helps VFWs and veterans all over the nation. He stated he wanted to advertise our mortgage business through his geofencing product. He stated since I was a veteran he was going to give me a special discount of $199/month to advertise with them. I asked him to send me an email with information and I would take a look. The next morning (less than 20 hours later) he called me and said he had a special deal just for me and that for $1 dollar I could start today. I stated that I have not gotten a chance to look at his email and that I would like to do a little research before signing up. Aaron then chastised me saying, "well you say you do your research, but then don't even open my email?!" I stated I was not in a hurry and he said, "well we are in a hurry." After this, I ended the call as his intentions became obvious. After researching ComplaintsBoard.com complaints and website reviews this appears to be just above a straight-out scam as every complaint is the same. This is why I am shocked that they still have a A+ rating! As a veteran myself, I am appalled that they are using veterans to exploit businesses that genuinely want to provide help.

Nothing but scam artists who prey on veterans. I signed up but the day after I had to shut down my business because of Covid. I contacted them 3 times and left an email on 27April20 to cancel the service. They were set to bill for May on the 2nd. They didnt cancel the service and wanted to charge me $299 for May even though I cancelled before then. I had to call on the 7th of May to have them cancel again and even though they were aware I no longer wanted the service I had to hound them to get it done and just so they could charge me for an extra month. Terrible people who just want to bleed you dry during hard times.

They said they were providing a service and provided nothing and argued that they did it but I got nothing and they couldn't prove that did anything. Very unprofessional and buyer beware. I'm a VET and they are a scam.

First time using them and found them to be very professional and helpful with mobile ads for my Real Estate company! We market locally just outside of Los Angeles and seeing our ads shows our clients & future clients that we are all over the internet. This is a branding tool for and not an instant lead generator, and for me at least works as great marketing campaign.

Mario A. As Military Veteran. This Company does a lot for the community across the United States in exchange for a Modern Marketing tool. No other company in the U.S. is going to offer a modern marketing tool and also give back to the community at the same time. They have tons off Veteran Clubs across the U.S. where they have resources for Veterans and there families to us. This company Is one of the largest Veteran own Public Benefit Corporation in the U.S. In order to be designated this, you have prove to the goverment that a large portion of the companies income goes back out to the community. This is the only company I know in the U.S. that does this. Right on "Hometown Hero Project" thanks for helping out the people who keep our communities safe, educated our children and fight for our country.

Never had a worse ad campaign in my life. I also was quoted an extra month of advertising than they actually gave me. $600 advertising a 20% off coupon and did not receive 1 order or any traffic to my site. Highly suspicious.

I paid for 6 months upfront for my service of internet marketing. I didn't receive an add or a single call. This is a PONZI company and even though they offer a 100% MONEY BACK GUARANTEE they did not refund the money. Stay away from this company and its affiliates.

This company Easygeo, is billing me for services not rendered. I paid for advertising and have not seen any ads while searching in the target area. They tell me they cant identify when or where my ad will appear. They provide me contact data that is not considtent with my with my web monitoring service. I believe all the data they share is computer generated. I should be seeing my ad as i complete the criteria they stated would lead me to my ad. The only way i see my ad is to go to thier web site or request a text copy. They are not publishing my ad as agreed and now owe me $1400 for fraudulant activity. I am seeking a return of those funds.

Easy Geo Fencing, "powered by Community Marketing Partnership," and billing as Home Town Heroes sold me on getting more than 1,000 calls or actions (clicks) in a year for around $1840. After six months and zero calls, I called and was given half my money back, and a promise that I'd get the rest after they corrected the campaign and continued running it as a"click-to-call" campaign. Instead, they closed the account June 18th, and kept half of my money ($919.80). I called because I knew that it was not having any impact as of September 16, and I was told "You're not getting your money back." The company lied to get my money, then they lied about continuing to run the ad's, and then they lied about returning the rest of my money. They have a 100% satisfaction guarantee banner on their website and I was told numerous times that I would be eligible for a full refund if they did not product these actions. They lied, stole, and cheated me for $919.80 and I want ALL of my money back.

I was sold by them six months ago. They promised the world (reach out many). They did provide some reports but I never see the ad when I go the the websites. They also promised some results otherwise would refund refund. Six months ($571) later, no a single call or contact of any kind. It has also been very difficult to make changes to your ad. I am kind of okay with that because I have taken the loss or reconciled this a few months ago. Just let it run out. However, they just CHARGED me another $571 for the next six months. I called and they said the agreement stated a year. I was told I can decide after six months and they tricked me with the contract. It is not a company with integrity and ironically they campaign themself using the veterans. What a disgrace! Scam, Scam, and stay away at all costs.

A sales rep contacted me in Oct 2020 They were selling advertising and lead generation. I was introduced to the world of "geo fencing". I was told that with geo fencing certain "key words" would initiate a potential client interaction and they would call me for a consultation. At first I was reluctant to move forward with the opportunity. But upon my hesitancy the sales rep reduced the cost of the program and told me there is a 100% money back guarantee if I am not satisfied with the results. I thought about it and decided that the results could outweigh the investment. They took my info, they developed an ad that I approved and then they said they would take care of the rest. At first I did not see any results. I received no phone calls or leads. Then the account manager contacted me and made a few changes and sent me the results a few months later. It has now been close to a year and I have not received one single phone call from this ad campaign. they bait and switch

Easy Geo Gemving aka Home Town Hero project has been notified by me 3 times of my intent to cancel services with them . They said that I am in a contract. However I disagree. I havent signed or committed to being stuck in a lengthy agreement. I advised them to not charge my card , but they refused and keep charging $250 per month for literally no results and no service. My next step is to take them to court and I'd rather they just stop taking my hard earned money . I do not want a refund of what they've already taken. I just want this to stop. I will post my experience with this "company" , and I hope that no one else gets this treatment. I have copies of the emails of me asking for them to not charge me any longer , yet they just charged me another 250 dollars today . 8/18

I have enrolled in this program called Easy Geo Fensing, when I 1st enrolled I specifically asked if I can cancel at any time if I am not satisfied with the results. I know I did otherwise I would never had enroll. The agent who helped me lie, because he did tell me yes, I could cancel at any time. Now the same agent its saying he never said that. He told he listen to the recording, which I am not able to listen to and he never said that. I know this its a total lie. I have enrolled in this type of programs before, and had same issues, so I made sure I've asked before agreeing. The company its a fraud, and does not honor agreements. I am so disappointed that they can just lie like that, and not honor our agreement. I want people to know do not make the mistake I have made. And I want this company to stop harassing me with the two last payments. I should get all of my money back, since I never received any business from them, not one call in 4 months.

The first time we have talked to you / you made a lot promises and guarantee results. This is a veteran owned business and we are are trying to support our military' community However, I think this is an organized scam targeting veterans You told us that if for some reason it does not work or if we are not satisfied You were going to refund our money 100% no questions $312.00 I, need to know when are you going to refund my money Your services did not produce a single call or lead. We have a stuff of 5 employees and we all try to find any kind of ads from Geo fencing for our office using 5 cell phones and 5 computers . Our search produced no findings / zero results. Because of that reason, we want all our money back within 30 days. We are wondering if were victims of an organized scam.

This company is a scam. I have been signed up with them for 3 months. I have not received any results from their advertising service. I have no idea where the advertising is happening. I have not received one customer contact for my business. They are ineffective at advertising. I have spoke with Louis several times and he just wants to increase the service and the price. They claim I signed up for a 12 month contract, however they only invoice with options to pay by month, quarter or annual. I choose to pay by month. Now Louis is threating to turn me over to collections. This company is a scam in the name of assisting veterans. I want this cancelled, no further calls, no further charges. I advise people to stay away from this origination.

I purchased advertising for a subsidiary of this organization. Community Marketing Partnership sold a membership due monthly for $399. The membership would grant you the opportunity to receive 'leads' of people looking for a mortgage. In the four months, I have had the program running, I have not received one lead! I have asked repeatedly to be let out of my contract, which requires the contact to go for a minimum of six months. I never would have signed if I knew there would be no chance of getting leads using the system. I have been ignored and denied every time I have asked for the contract to be canceled and my money returned. My next step will be the courts.
