THESE GUYS ARE SCAMMERS - THEY PRACTICALLY STOLE $1900 - SAID THEY WOULD DO TELEMARKETING WORK AND THEY DIDNT - WE HAVE BEEN WAITING 2 MONTHS FOR A REFUND AND ALL WE KEEP GETTING IS UNANSWERED CALLS, NO RETURNED CALLS AND WHEN YOU DO FINALLY GET THROUGH THEY SAY IT WILL BE THERE TOMORROW - DO NOT TRUST THEM WITH YOUR CAMPAIGN!

Also I think the queers got mixed up. Brendan (NSW has a QLD namesake. A quick search of facebook would be sufficent - so the gays brought all their gay propaganda here on a false hunch. The guy in queendsland is probably running the QLD telemarketing company we are all talking off, and the guy in NSW is an ex-copper who works at BHP.

Looks like some queers had some crossed wires, and went and defamed the wrong person. Your forgiven, its' not your fault - you were born that way if you see the DSM.IV. Let's hope work continues on gene therapy and there might be a better more effective cure than HIV->Death.

As for the gay stuff here I have to rebutt it, I've had the same level of ### from the gay lobby as Brendan Ritchson which I'll talk about with some other mainstream news links, to counter the samesame.com.au gay propaganda site with sexually explicit ads for dildos and god knows what else that has already been linked to here. This site needs to be fair and balenced and have dissenting voices. For the record I don't know Brendan but I do want to get in touch with him to participate in a street protest I am organizing.

My story in America http://tinyurl.com/arrestedbychildrapingfagcop (Google Christopher Bowersox bakersfield, CA police, or look him up on the sex offenders registry at familywatchdog.us Do see the video on the site, the Baksersfield police chief to ABC (US) news says he was a professional officer because he was only trying to have sex with little boys off duty, and like convicted Australian thai boy raping Crown Prosecutor Dr Peter Power he was tipped off, and the police only got there to find the scraps left over from his child porn cache. For the American's who don't know how powerful the gay lobby is in Australia and how theys talk and persecute people (even coming here first to attack Brendan a man I have never met) see http://tinyurl.com/abcplugspedos to see the most popular video on my channel. This is why Russia made the anti-gay laws, because men campaigning for gay marriage in US (they are in CSU'49's student newspaper) and Australian Marriage equality lobby were what buying Russian boys for what the AFP calls "for the sole purpose of sexual exploitation". Before their arrest ABC praised them in this censored radio interview http://tinyurl.com/eqlove and gay lobby websites praises them as a poster rainbow family for gay marriage on their blogs I archived before their arrest. Yep gay men child rapists = rainbow families . The gay lobby blogged it first and made the assocation. This is just my qualified opinion. (see yawningbread link on the link above - the gay blog is still showing the uncensored photo and name of a gay dads rape victim!)

Then in Australia my second arrest I get 2x NSW GLLO Gay police called to my house my a gay neighbour who was later arrested for same sex domestic violence. Then I get charged with 60C NSW Crimes act - crime of knowing you are a victim of a hate crime (discrimination) by gay police who perverted (obstructed in US lingo) the course of justice to help the gay neighbour's friend an illegal immigrant obtain a NSW Police issued Criminal Justice Stay Visa (immigration code ZB 951). My story is here http://tinyurl.com/homocopvictim

Looking at his case, the FOI cover-up the gay lobby persecution it's all similar. In his case the tranny's name he dropped coming back from the sex change did assault on the plane injuring 2 peoples and was constantly involved in domestic violence with her hetrosexual men this tranny was trying to seduce. Eventually a tranny who is constantly trying to seduce hetrotsexual men without disclosing their true sex, is going to get the crap bashed out of them at some point. It's common knowledge. The gay panic defence is valid. I've been a bouncer for years, and I feel sorry for some drunk almost unconscious 18 year old passed out next to Omalley's pub in the cross being sexually assulted by a tranny giving the unconcious man without consent ( a rape) a blowjob. I nudged him in the side and he woke up. IF he had a knife, I believe what he would have been justified in stabbing it to death, just as a female rape victim is entitled to defend themselves in similar circumstances. But the queers say the Gay panic defence doesn't qualify. You must not repel your rapist because gays are not equal...

MUST READ: Brendan beet the gay lobby prosecution in the district court!
http://www.dailytelegraph.com.au/news/nsw/that-aint-no-way-to-treat-a-lady/story-e6freuzi-1225907977768
The Tranny Brendan "allegedly" outed to her male partner (in Surry Hills gay district HELLO) famous for extreme violence on plane on way back from sex change operation in london. What really happened is some gays got involved in domestic violence yet again, and then decided to blame the police officer for it somehow to diminish their own responsibliity for their crimes.

See the tranny that Brendan exposed is a well known criminal - and the police can't be prosecuted for merely commenting what's in the public domain (newspapers), just like I shouldn't be jailed for the crime of knowing a lesbo cop is a lesbo as she's in the papers herself for extreme lesbian domestic violence (see her photos on my site from rugby.com.au and NSW Police gay facebook page - and the UK mirror article about her)

Just as the tranny you guys were speaking of linking to before was in the mainstream newspapers for crimes, so were the gay police in my case, and my defence will be the same. Google UK Mirror Boosted by a Lesbian tiff and associated Australian articles or just see my page. Gay rights Activist Senator Lee Rhiannon said in NSW Hansard Police and Other Law Enforcement Officer's bill 2002 Only the most filthy, corrupt ### will "use this law to provide a running cover for their corrupt act". Only gay police rose to her expectations and used 60c crimes act. Not only against myself, but some poor aboriginal teenager in Port Macquarie for calling a officer a "###" on facebook. Google it - there even was abc coverage, or see my critique of that coverage on youtube.com/hojuruku - see Vinny Eastwood show highlight in Interviews - Police Enslave. It's halarious - they put on a Gay IT commentator "stillgherian" who said "facebook knows you are gay before you do" instead of saying a poor black kid has just been charged with the country's first anti-white supremacist outlaw motorcycle gang law (60c nsw crimes act - see hansard Michael Costa Police minister who introduced law as outlaw motorcycle gang law) since the 2006 Gang laws bill amended it

Later today I'll blog in detail how I was screwed around by an ABC the drum blogging homosexual NSW Police FOI Officer Richard Hanson, who on his blog linked to on the abc website blogs about paying for gay sex in Sydney and Osaka on tinyurl.com/homocopvictim

Here's Brendan's stuff over by NSW Police Queer FOI unit (Rhonda Allen / Catherine Burn)

I found this site as I wanted to make a complaint about Telemarketing Power, I have not used the other companies mentioned. Telemarketing Power talk a great talk, but the foot soldiers who do the work are not as compliant as you are led to believe.

The Brendan Ritson (ex police guy) I used a simlar company in the US and found the guy to be threatening to me and my family (when I was not happy with the result) if you do a ASIC search you will find that he has had a few failed businesses, the last one he liquidated a few months ago. I have found a company that are great for chasing any monies outstanding beazley@beazleyingleton.com.au I was happy with the result.

The last post about recruiting and training the staff your self, well, good luck, but that is not practical for all of us.

Our company used a couple of companies that we found from the internet (none of the above companies mentioned) both of them were very poor.
We looked at the debt collection company mention Dynamic, however, after reading about the owners we felt uncomfortable. I would recommend the link below as we used them with one of the telemarketing companies and they collected the money and found them very professional. http://www.marshallfreeman.com.au/
If it is of any help, we now have recruited our own telemarketers, it has taken a little time to train them but it is cheaper, you are in more control and you don’t pay money up front, for us it has been a wise investment of my time.

Correction to my post above - the woman researcher was Leanne Ryan, not Leanne Stafford (but obviously the same person that has been mentioned in a previous post). Her email is leanne.strategic@gmail.com (obviously a link to the other companies with Strategic in their title).

Yes, this company is a scam. I was dealing with Australian Telemarketing Pty Limited (www.australiantelemarketing.com.au). They actually did a little bit of work, phoning companies (or maybe they just used the web) to get contact details of selected people but now they have just run.
My contact was Joseph Evans ("Senior Account Manager") and the so-called researcher was Leanne Stafford. I managed to get Joseph's mobile number (he called me on it when I made first contact) it is [protected]. As of last week nobody from the company has returned my calls. The only number on their website is [protected], which is a call-forwarding service run by '3messaging' (run by the 3/Vodafone company).
Today, Leanne Stafford emailed me to say she had only just got my email and Joseph Evans was on paternity leave. I emailed straight back and asked her to call me. Nothing. All crap.
The invoice for the $2000 I paid has an address of Level 2, Suite 15, 103 George Street, Parramatta. It also has another phone number [protected], which has an answerphone message by a "Lisa" at "Telemarketing Solutions". It was searching for that company that brought up this complaints board.
I work for a fairly big company and have many years marketing experience. On hindsight, all I'd say is that the proposal Jospeph sent me was (and I told him so) the most badly-written, badly presented document I'd ever seen. I told him that had I not spoken to him at quite some length (and he clearly had telemarketing experience) I would not have gone near his company.
If you Google all the names on the Australian Telemarketing website (Laura Williams, etc), none of them come up. All the bios and photos (including "Wendy" and her 50th birthday photo) are clearly all rubbish.
Earlier this week, the website was down for a day.
How do we get these telemarketing scammers closed down?
I have to say I was also disgusted at the 3messaging call forwarding service who refused to identify who they were or to put me through to company managers so I could tell them they were acting for scammers. I've since done that.

Sorry for posting on this site, the other ones are down at the moment - too much traffic!
I was driving my car near the city when I was pulled over by two policeman. The one that came to the car was Constable Brendan Ritson. I am female and I was on my own. He starting making comments about what I was wearing and looking me up and down. I asked him what I did wrong. He replied that I was driving too fast. I told him I was in a hurrry, in a polite way and he starting yelling at me callling me a "snobby ###". I was so scared and kept hoping the other police oficer would notice his anger - he was too far away. He said "### like me shouldnt be driving because we are too dumb" and that woman shouldnt drive full stop. Then he grinned at me in the most awful, almost evil way. I will never forget that smirk.Anyway the good news is I didnt get a ticket. I considered reporting him but at the time I had just moved out from my parents house and didnt feel the confidence to do it. I'm older now and if anyone has his home address I will glady go there and tell his wirfe or girlfriend or mother the way he treated me. Stay strong guys xxxxxx

Hey guys n gals. I do appreciate your comments as honest ones and totally agree with the bit about gays and Ritson picking on them. I am not gay but do respect gays as in the norm they are beautiful hard working honest people. However he is just a bully boy with no manners and I bet he tries this crap on straights too...it's not a gay hating person...it's just a pig of a person! So nice to see you gays helping each other too. Sign of good people.

HIs motivation is money...hence the debt collection business set up by his partner in crime and because his bully boy tactics might have worked when he carried a badge, they wont work too well in the corporate world for too long but he does not know that.

Maybe he thinks he is too too smart and is the only person in the world who can track people down to their home addresses. Guess what he is wrong.

Cheers

"An internal police review investigated allegations that Constable Ritson used unreasonable force on a prisoner in police custody in March 2006 and that he was disrespectful to police while off duty and improperly interfered during the arrest of a person for a traffic offence in April 2007. He was also investigated for allegedly disobeying a direction by a police officer to state his name while off duty in June 2008."

Maybe its better we move back to the other forum? I will be going to the police tomorrow in regards to an incedent I had with Brendan Ritson, I am scared because I know what he is capable of but enough is enough. I also found out today he has recently been harrasing a women via email and phone. Apparantly she is also going to the police tomorrow. I think there is strength in numbers guys. There is also a facebook, twitter and phone campaign that will should go viral, it will have stories of Brendan Ritson from many people who have been targetted by him. Is he married? If so we should inform his` family ofwhat he has been doing, the women he has been harrasing has now been scared to death and is seeing a doctor. The target of the campaign will also include any businesses he is connected to. TOGETHER WE CAN PUT BRENDAN RITSON IN JAIL. They love ex policeman in there :)

I just read the email on the other blog directing me here. I too had a experience with brendan ritson, by the way im not in the slightest surprised to see the ex corrupt cop now is a coleections agent. I remember him from my surry hills days, where he would bully and humiliate all the gays and lesbians with his taunts and jokes. I remember him being tall but very unattractive to the point of being almost physically handicapped. Its probably the reason he enjoyed being a bully to people who had a hard life. I hope we get enough people on this website so that one day we can expose brendan ritson for what he is. Peace to all you lovely gay and lesbian people who have struggled.

I have just been emailed about this forum looks like brendan ritson is back this time as a debt collector, after he was kicked out of the force for being a brute i think we should start a petition on the net everyone in the gay community who has been put down or harassed by brendan ritson should start a blog on one of the gay websites we should also inform the star observer of his new job and his where abouts.

OMG i cant believe i found this post, Brendan Ritson the former cop who now runs the debt recovery agency Dynamic Corporate Services is well known within the gay community for attacking us, there are blogs in the gay community websites about him.

Oh no, this company also took $1336 upfront from our company, The telemarketer didn't turn up for work on the first day because "he took an extra holiday".He didn't turn up for work again the next day because his 'son was rushed to hospital"

We were paying a whole sales team to sit around and wait for their appointments to be booked. I wrote an email saying this wasn't good enough.

Chris emails me back blaming me for not being sympathetic re the supposed sick child.

Chris then tells me he doesn't want to do business with me and he never repays my money. I'm only on this website to find out if they are still in business as my Solicitor is about to file a Letter of Demand and a Statement of Claim against them.

Does anyone out there know if they are still operating?

Strategic Telemarketing Sydney headed up by the silver tongue salesman Joe Wright and company director Justin Marc? If so think twice before your part with any money. A Gold Coast Solar company Solarution has just been stung by Strategic Telemarketing for $5164.50 this was a fee charged for solar lead generation at $50 per hour on the promise of 2 qualified leads per hour. The company has provided six dud leads in just over 2 weeks.

Director of Solarution Nick Ray contacted Michael from Strategic Telemarketing to discuss his concerns about lack of leads and lead quality and his response was that we needed to be more patient. Essentially ignoring the original representation which induced the contract.

Nick agreed to allow them to keep $300 plus the $195 set up fee for services already performed but sort redress for the remaining sum of previously paid based on contract sceptism.

Now despite numerous phone calls and communication attempts between Strategic Marketing Sydney and Nick Ray including 9 phone calls from Nick in one day they always claim to be in meetings so it is a more the apparent Strategic Marketing Sydney are running what appears to be a telemarketing scam not a genuine telemarketing business.

This is what they display under Telemarketing on their own website:

Our understanding of the use of the telephone as a marketing tool is second to none. We have the experience, people and technology to implement and deliver all types of telemarketing campaigns, from data cleansing through to lead generation and mystery shopping.
As a result of our experience we have the ability to understand our client’s direct marketing strategies enabling us to offer realistic advice as to how best the overall strategy and objectives of any campaign can be achieved.
The core telemarketing services that Strategic Marketing provide can be broken down in the following categories…

Outbound Services:
Lead Generation
Appointment Setting
Seminar Booking/Follow Up
Market Research
Mystery Shopping
Database Cleansing
Validation & Building
Customer Care

Awareness Building
Promotional Response
Strategic Marketing believe that no telemarketing campaign is the same, our clients objectives, although similar on the surface, require careful logical planning resulting in the implementation of a bespoke individual communication designed to deliver on client needs. Please call us now on [protected]

This incident will be listed on all Scam Alert website within 24 hours warning consumers of the Strategic Telemarketing scam.

After speaking with Nick Ray and reviewing all communications it would appear that is only avenue is to seek out a refund via the courts. Nick has learned a valuable lesson when dealing with these so called reputable businesses and that is if you don’t have it in writing you have to fight harder for justice.

Thank you for your post! I HAVE PAID $5, 000 TO RUN A TELEMARKETING CAMPAIGN WITH STRATEGICTELEMARKETING.COM.AU - THEY ARE ALSO TRADING AS TELEMARKETING SOLUTIONS PTY LTD. DO NOT TRUST THEM - I HAVE BEEN DEALING WITH JOE WRIGHT AND ALL WAS WELL UNTIL I PAID! SINCE PAYING I HAVE BEEN UNABLE TO CONTACT HIM - HE DOESNT PROVIDE A MOBILE NUMBER AND HIS POSTAL ADDRESSES ALL APPEAR TO BE FAKE! It appears you have also been scammed by this conartist, with positive comments following, which appear to be from Joe Wright himself as the language is identical to emails I have received and both posts were made on the same day - how stupid does he think readers of this blog are?! BEWARE - DO NOT DO BUSINESS WITH THIS COMPANY OR PERSON EVER!

Much like the previous post, I've used the team at Strategic Telemarketing Aust for 1 project for my business which specialises in high access cleaning/maintenance and roof top protection/faller arrest systems and products.

My first experience of outsourcing over here however used a company in the UK a number of years ago and have to say the experience was much the same. If anything I was more happy with the service over here as I knew exactly what to expect from it. Probably my own naivity but when I first used outsourcing my expectations were too high and I went in expecting signed deals to be coming through, what they did actually do was send me through fully qualified warm leads that I later converted myself.

STA delivered on everything I asked of them and as I have no other company to compare them to can't say they are the best in Australia, but I had no complaints and the service and results were on par with my experience from the UK who were a lot higher in price and meant to be the market leaders over there.

I have been using Strategic Telemarketing Aust for two projects, a security company project and a software distribution project. Based upon my expectations and what was provided by Strategic Telemarking, I shall continue to be very happy to use their services.

I just dont quite understand how anyone can "practically stole" anything. It was either stolen or not. I suspect someone tipped you this type of service and because it did not turn your business into a gold mine you simply wanted your money back.

Having used Strategic Telemarking and being happy to continue using their sevices I am not safisifed the above comment is justified particularly as it is absent of any specific information other than the "practically stole" bit.
