sponsored links ... they keep calling ... I wont answer

I also received a call from this number said from google. is that true?

This company refer to themselves as 'Sponsored-Links' and introduce themselves as if they are part of Google. THEY ARE NOT. This is an independent company indulging in cold call telemarketing as far as I can tell. I told them to go away.

Turns out they are partnered with Google here is the email I got from Google adwords:

If you could be bothered talking to them still, I'll leave up to you.

If these [***] call me one more time I will sue them. Google should stop dealing with them, they act like they are google but they are not. Scammers, stay away.

There scam artists that prey on small business owners that use google adwords, for each service business on internet there are multiple choices for a consumer, in one day for a given page there are may only be one or two customers, if that  and fifty add choices, got to have a lot of ads to get a small response, they prey on the not tech wise battlers strugling to make a buck, the problems this or that and we can fix it, its all bull****, stay clear

They called my work and when I told them I was on another call and that the boss was not interested in talking to them, (I have tried for him to take their calls in the past unsuccessfully) the caller rudely said "how can he not be interested if he doesn't find out what I am offering!" I responded by hanging up.  He then bombarded me with call after call and finally gave up after about 6 times in which I didn't anwser and let it go to the on hold  message. (I have caller ID and knew the number). How rude, he knew I had a business call on hold and he did this!  I didn't get his name but would like to report it to the manager of his company, probably wouldn't do any good anyway!

I got sucked in to using them and cost me a small fortune for no return and when i cancelled then advised 2 weeks termination so had to keep paying them for 2 weeks even though they were no longer doing any work for me at all, will be taking this up with unfair trading practice

Marketing company, doing Google Adv health check

My name is Kieran and I am a representative from SponsoredLinX.

I have read all of your comments and I would like to take this opportunity to address them.
We take great pride in being a Google Premier SME Partner and we work with small and medium businesses across Australia to assist them in the online marketplace. Our mission is to manage our clients online campaigns and educate customers on AdWords best practices. I am concerned to hear about your experience as the situations you mentioned above do not reflect our business practices or our service offering. We encourage those who have had similar experiences to contact us directly on 1300 859 600 to discuss further so we can investigate for any inappropriate practices. Thanks.

Keiran, your good at using the adjectives, google pemier SME partner, wats that an abbreviation for
sh-t me partner, amazing how the sweet talk comes out with a little adverse publicity - take note public adword resellers  are a scam, use google adwords directly yourself

I also used them.
The work they did was quite good I have no issue there. My issue is more that you can never contact them. Also when I emailed that I wish to terminate the work I heard nothing. Then i got an invoice. So I terminated thier access to my account. Then I got another invoice and I still can't get them on the phone.

Someone tried to rip me off once before the adwords but I gave these guys a go. I will never let anyone touch my google adwords again - ever

Kieran, I get calls from your number EVERY day which after I answer just hang up. I would assume this is your predictive dialler calling random numbers to see if they are active and if they are answered and what time the call is answered so your telemarketers can call back. Today I finally got your telemarketer on the phone and after so many dodgy calls coming from your number I've told him where to go and I've blocked your number. I dont know what you have to offer or sell, hell you could be giving me a million dollars. I dont care, the level of harassment prior to getting a voice on the end of the phone is enough for me not to want to deal with your stupid company. Stop harassing people.
