]]> Comment on 4GB Mp4 Player ebay Scam by JP http://hm2k.com/posts/mp4-player/comment-page-2#comment-247909 JP Sun, 07 Nov 2010 16:43:50 +0000 http://hm2k.com/archives/30#comment-247909 All the brand less MP4 players with build in memory are part of a big scam. But always be aware that you complain atleast before 45 days. So you can get your money back with pay-pal. I had bought an 8GB player turned out to be an 2GB player.

]]> Comment on BT Web Clicks by hackedoff http://hm2k.com/posts/bt-web-clicks/comment-page-2#comment-247393 hackedoff Fri, 05 Nov 2010 23:25:47 +0000 http://hm2k.com/?p=187#comment-247393 Earlier this week I had a call from a BT sales person telling me that they could get more qualified hits to my website. I asked for more details but I ws told a visit would be required to explain how it works and would work for my business. Today was the meeting. The rep arrived without making the confirmation telephone call I was expecting. Most inconvenient for me. The the rep was unable to connect to the internet using her mobile wireless connection, so I ended up uing my own laptop for the demo. My 'rural' location was blamed - like it's my problem? Fairly quickly I realised this was a pay-per-click scheme. £1 per click (minimum £100 per month but offering a 10% discount so 90p per click) but plus a £250 set up fee. On the sales per click ratio that I already know this wasn't viable for me and I told the rep so. The rep argued with me that I must be wrong - I know my business don't I? I'm not selling Rolexes, Bentleys or Gucci shoes so I know the return on advertising spend I need - whether it's pay per click or any other method. Funnily enough the '500 leaflet' argument was brought up, so it must be in the BT Sales training I guess...... Anyway, long story short, I said wouldn't decide to sign up to what very late in the pitch I learnt was BT Web Clicks without some further research and the rep tried to make me feel guilty for wasting their time, "driving all this way, spending more time than I usually would explaining things" etc etc. So, this evening I come to my PC and Google "BT Web Clicks Sussex" (as I was told that the local thing was ket to the service and I knew my rep came from an office in Sussex) - and guess what? The first listing is PC Advisor Magazine. This HM2K thread is ranked fourth by Google - and there are NO sponsored links for BT Web Clicks!! I guess that says it all. Even BT Web Clicks don't used the service they are selling. Now why would that be.........................?
