I had a phone last month which this company sounded really good deal for £149 with a 7 page web site
and the top page off goggle for one month all i need to do was find 7 key words and they would ring me back to this date no phone call trying to ring them to get my money back and it just rings and rings
the only good thing about this is i paid by cc and hopefully get my money back

so please please do not let this worldwide marketing  con you into paying into google
and mind caller was sales team 1

Neil,

Good on you.  I hope you do get your refund.  Let us know what happens.

In the meantime anyone reading this thread might be interested in visiting http://forums.moneysavingexpert.com/showthread.php?t=2530467 where even more people are lsiting their complaints against Worldwide Marketing Solutions in Oldham.

How will you get your money back if you have paid by CC and also how has the marketing gone and what was the website like?

Well thanks to all you lot i have saved myself alot of my hard earned money as this bunch of scamers have called me today telling me they can get me on google first page etc but like others i did'nt think it could be true so i got on the net and found all your info on them .....
so thanks once again

Frankie,

If you pay for items or services over £100 with a credit card, the credit card company is jointly liable with the supplier for any claims you make against them for misrepresentation or breach of contract.  This is under Section 75 of the Consumer Credit Act 1974.

So, for example, if the supplier goes bust or refuses to give a refund you can still claim a refund from the credit card company, but you need to convince them of misrepresentation or breach of contract.

Hope this helps.

I have also within the last two weeks been caught by this company. I got suspicious after checking for my front page links which aren't there. Rather than get straight onto the company, I have first done some searches, ending up here amongst many other places.

From reading many posts, at this stage I think it is a waste of time writing to them. The main reason being, I don't think they actually exist at the contact address! They don't show in any directories that I have looked in so far, if you search postcodes on the Royal Mail site, Unit 18, Meridian Business Centre does not show up. I've even used Google Street View to have a look around the Centre & there is no sign or indication of this company.

I have been in contact with my credit card company, not really to get a refund (£139) but to try and make sure they don't get any more. The credit card company was less than helpful, saying that even if I were to cancel my card & have a new one issued this still wouldn't stop them from taking a payment as a credit card is a guaranteed form of payment. They said I should write to the company first & then if they later try to take more money it can be claimed back. Not much help as I am pretty certain that this company is not at the address given !! I've now cleared my credit card balance & it looks like the only way to be sure is to now cancel my credit card account completely. I will write to them by registered post after I have sorted my card, I doubt it will get to them but at least I have tried & have evidence of postage.

I am furious with myself for being taken in by this, I really do know better..........

I was highly impressed when they said they could get me top of google for 99 pounds. It never happened and they took more money than agreed from my account. when I complained they put an ad on adwords which appeared briefly on just one adword which probably only cost 5 pence. When I became suspicious I then found the postcode on my invoice did not match the address. I have still not had my promised advert and I was astonished to receive another phonecall saying they were Google 0161 637 2241, luckily I was on my guard and when I asked him was he web----ms, he quickly put the phone down. They are a highly professional scam team and I dont think the people working in the call centre know that they cannot provide the service they are selling.I have since phoned Google and they told me they are aware of several complaints and told me clearly not to part with any money

my bank has told me they will refund the money. However I have had to change my card which my bank assured me that would stop any more transactions

Yep, we got the same thing and lost about £500 off them using our card details. We have Cancelled the card and written a letter to the bank to stop any further payments being made. We have also reported the scam online. You will notice that their current phone number comes up on your bank statement so they cant be that bright....just less stupid than us though it would seem

Oh and this is their website as per the invoice.

I am collating a dossier on these people. It seems the more people the stronger the case for Trading Standard and the Police.

Could you please email me details of what happened, ideally with your name and address if you are willing to make a statement to the Police, as I will pass this on with others I am asking for.

How did you get on with your solicitors?

I had an unsolicited sales call from them today from 01614258161, a lady called "Alison".  She claimed she was calling from Google, and gave me a hard sell on guaranteed first page placement. I explained our business is registered with the Telephone Preference Service, and we should not be receiving unsolicited sales calls.  When I questioned her, she admitted she was not actually calling from Google, but from Worldwide Marketing Solutions, and claimed that Google outsource their marketing work to Worldwide Marketing Solutions.  Needless to say, I didn't take up her offer!

I have now passed this on to the Telephone Preference Service for making unsolicited sales calls.

Hi Tony,
I have recently been scammed by these people, and have got a refund by my credit card company change my cc and they have now closed down the account but are threatening to sue me.. Bring it on I say. Do you want details of  my situation? I have found them on facebook by the way Marvin Jarvis and Dan Howard and they are coincidentally friends on there in Oldham. I shall be going to the police today.
Do you have an email or address to send info to?

Hi

Notice your reply to Tony,

There is a group on Yahoo who are collecting details on this but not sure how you would join it ,I think we need your email address first to invite you. Love to have more details as only have 4 names and address's so far

My email is zebadee91@yahoo.com.

I habe aslo written a complete story to a Lady who is taking them to court and I believe the group is looking to go the National Fraud Office and Watchdog

Yes, I f they take you to court I would like to be their just to see who they are

Be very careful with Peter's reply.         Everything about it suggests he is not UK.    Look at the spelling; look at the phraseology; check how you join a Yahoo group for real.

Suggest great caution before giving out further details of yourself or your email.
