Hi all

I didnt want to go off thread on the yellow pages question.
Has anyone used ufindus.co.uk for their advertising?

I had a rep call me the other day giving me all kinds of facts and figures etc etc about how impressive they were and successful they would be for my business.Well,i heard his spiel and told him to call back today.
He did and i politely said im not interested.Well,he got quite indignant and quite pushy too!I ended up telling him where to go.
Something didnt seem right with his patter.Dunno,maybe i was wrong.

Anybody used them ?Good?bad?

Avoid theese guys like they will give you AIDS even if you just talk to them. If you do a search in this forum you will see the number of posts about them, they were featured in a major tabliod at one time for being con artists.

A Rep called Alex phoned me the other day and was quite pushy, he called up loads of fact & figures and mentioned a firm that was doing very well with ufindus. Well its a small world, I know the owner so a telephone call later and I find out It did him no good at all, no leads  and has cancelled the service but lost his £299 sign up fee. The rep was really angry when he called back and called me a time waster and he put the phone down.
Well if thats the ufindus service attitude I will never be advertising with them.

As soon as someone asks "can i speak to the owner of the business" or mentions the word U*****S,
i hang up.

I get these guys all the time and there are so many like them.
I always say its crap and does not work, they say how do you know that, and then reply 'we have a forum on the web for cc's that discuss you guys, and the verdict national is you do not deliver what you say', what ever BS they come back with, you add 'so a nation of cc is wrong and you are right, even though these guys have your service and you are getting no returns and you are just sitting behind your desk', usually shuts them up.

I must get out more. :o

They have to be the worst advertising company going, although i did fall for the sales patter, i have two businesses and was offered what seemed like a great deal to advertise both of them with ufindus at a great rate, but it turned out i wasn't get half of what they offered, and when you call them to ask whats going on or to ask some simple questions they just can't give you an answer, they have no idea.
I'd advise everyone to saty away from them, if you search for them on google you will find numerous sites of dis-satisfied customers.
Even though we canceled with them in the cooling off period so we got our money back, they have still left our advert on the site as a priority listing, not sure if they can't be bothered to take it off or if they are leaving it up to make it look like they do have paying customers.
