I foolishly signed up with this company a year ago and was unhappy with the service - ie the adwords ads were badly put together and linked to the wrong landing page etc. I had to make numerous calls to my account manager to get it sorted and it resulted in no extra sales. so that was £117 down the drain!

Recently in an even more foolish moment I signed up again after being assured that they had joined up with another company - Zenith - and everything has improved.

After 7 days nothing has happened despite my calling and requesting to speak to my account manager who is always on the other line!

My teenage son was right - just a scam!

This morning I have requested a full refund and have been assured by Paul Cross that I will receive a cheque within 21 days - company policy apparently.

Watch this space to see if the refund arrives.

Same company has a number of offices and many different names. They work in much the same way as more reputable companies (I won't name it but I worked for them) who do "Door To Door" Marketing.

You sign up to do Cold Calling, Learn how to teach others in typical "Pyramid Scheme" and then you are offered your own office and a encouraged to start a new branch with a new name elsewhere.

Reason? That way the same scam can be pulled but under many other names... All under the umberella of one company.

We were contacted by a Company called ZENITH who claimed to be part of Google on the first call, Yell.com on teh second, Google again on the Third and Forth and finally Yahoo! on the Fifth... Obviously they are NOT affiliated with any of them.

ZENITH have a base in Suffolk (01502 area) - But are well known to be associated with none other than MATCHMAKER MARKETING, and the ZENITH name has been encountered up and down the country.

What should you do? There is little you can do except refuse any attepts to offer you so called "Generic Websites" no matter what... But to get revenge on them... Try this...

Let them pitch you, then question them a little so tehy have to repeat themselves, Query it again and again... Keep them on the phone as long as you can... While they are desperately trying to hard sell you - Many other targets are beinglost and they are losing money.

Very persistant aggressive sales calls, wont take no for an answer and can get abusive on the phone - AVOID

Quite funny as I just got a call from a young girl who had been with them a week. She stated she could hear her colleagues lying to people but she would treat me fairly.

You have to laugh

I took a field job with them and after training spent two and a half days in the field. Several factors, INCLUDING this site and its content caused me to resign after just one week, one signed deal and no pay!
The only 'niggle' I have is that out of pure interest and that ability we have to frustrate ourselves, I have regularly checked on Google the busines that I signed up and they are CONSTANTLY in position one in the sponsored links????????
Cloud to seemingly clear skys eh! lol

From that, you should at least be able to get their Head Office address, plus the names and addresses of all directors (plus their profit/losses to see if this scam is in fact very profitable ;)

I can not believe all of the wrong comments about matchaker marketing, i do know that there are alot o companies out there trying to scam you people, but this company isnt one of them, i have been with matchmaker for 8 months and i have had endless enquiries from the advertising they provide me, i also recomendeded them to a few of my frends with their own trades. and same again no complaints. i think people just look for a blog site and start to slag off a company because of slight little hitches. I for one will stay with matchmaker for as long as needed as they work wanders for me and my business.

'GIVE YOUR HEAD A WOBBLE PEOPLE'

I USED TO WORK FOR THIS COMPANY,,, IT IS THE BIGGEST SCAM GOING!! i left within a week when i found out how and what they do to con you out of your money, IF YOU READ THE TERMS AND CONDITIONS IT STATES THAT YOU GET PLACED ON GOOGLE FOR 20 MINS OF THE DAY, EACH DAY!!!! YOU ARE CONTRACTED 2 A MINIMUM OF 2MONTHS!!!!

DO NOT GIVE THIS ROGUE COMPANY YOUR MONEY,THEY ARE ONLY GOOGLE ADWORD SELLERS, YOU CAN SIMPLY GO TO GOOGLE AND DO IT YOURSELF...

i just started work with this company.
it is a pressurised environment but they do exactly what they tell you on the phone.
i know people who are with matchmaker (past employers) and it has always gone fine for them.
personally i think you lot who keep saying the positive feedback is workers are infact workers from our rival branches trying to put people off.

tut tut.
funny kids.

They have extracted money from my account without my authorisation, said thay had a special code once i'd agreed to give my debit card detals for one month's free trial.

They assured me at the time they would call me to renew my next month but only sent invoice at 5 am and it was down to me to cancel - by giving 2 days notice.

I have given details to fraud department at my bank

DoNOT do any business with these thieves- liars and cheats- make false promises

matchmaker marketing now have a computerised dialing system which asks if you would like to have your company on page one of google the call is from a withheld no and i have had 7 calls this week all to dedicated telephone numbers for my local directories all of which are tps registered.I have been with this company the service was rubbish so i canceled what on earth would make them think i would give them another try i dont know

After reading the many complaints about this company i felt compelled to let people know what a badly organised bunch of fraudsters Matchmaker Marketing are. I had the misfortune to work for this company for a short period and during that time i was appalled at they way they treat customers and staff alike.
Here's just a few facts about them:

   * They have no affiliation with google and were actually ordered to stop using the Google logo on their advertising(although im sure they still use it)
   * They mention that they have offices all over the world including New York, Barcelona etc This is a lie, The addresses and phone numbers they list are dummies and all redirect to manchester.
   * Their staff are told not to lie but to deliberately mislead customers and part of their in house training is based around this.
   * The top page of google 7 days a week means that you technically only have to show on that front page once a day.
   * The exclusivity they talk about 1 company per sector per region is a lie as is anything about their database. Staff are made to go through Yell.com and other directories number after number (hence the repeated phonecalls even to former disgruntled clients)
   * I have never worked anywhere with such disregard for security, staff are allowed to keep mobiles on their desks even though they will be taking Credit Card details and are also encouraged to write Credit Card details down to speed up the calls process.

It isnt just the clients these guys rip off though,on my second day there i realised that there were only 8 people in the office with more than a month's service. The training there lasts a day and a half so most staff know less about google advertising than the people they are calling, they also conduct group interviews so essentially will take on anybody.
I strongly urge people to avoid this company either as a marketing solution or a potential employer, they have no scruples and you will get burnt.
If anybody has any questions about them or anything related don't hestate to ask and i'll do my best to answer.
Oh and Mr "'GIVE YOUR HEAD A WOBBLE PEOPLE'from further up the page is Luke their Training (or lack of) Manager.

Had many calls from this company, sometimes up to 5 a day! Each time I told them I wasn't interested and that I was registered on the TPS. One employee told me that was only for domestic numbers and so she had every right to ring me (idiot). I made a formal complaint to them on the phone and by letter. The calls stopped for a while but I had a new call from them the other day. I'm suprised they are still operating!

3 times in one day thay are ring from different numbers 0845/0161/0270 despite being tps registered they still ring probally as the constant turn over of staff at the place

This is their website and there is a contact page on there
