I have done buisness with this company for years.I like to do things to help my community.I support the VFW,little league baseball,and I employee several employees in the area.I like doing this because the ads sound great,and it makes me feel good to hear my ads on the radio.I can do regular advertising,but it cost thousands of dollars.I pay around $500 dollars and I get a couple of radio ads that sound great,and it lets my customer know I care.Their jokes are a little silly,and they always say there's the cheif,but I see some people complain,but it's funny how it's someone elses fault.I will continue to do buisness with this company,it's refreshing to see some people care about the community and are doing something about it.I hate complainers,I work hard for my money,and my money is well spent.

Caller insists on speaking to the Director. Would NOT be specific about why he is calling. When asked repeatedly who is calling he finally replied "John Glenn". Said he would call back.

I find it hard to believe I have a kid in a telemarketing office calling me an idiot. Especially one who doesn't seem to know the difference between your and you're. Even worse, one who doesn't know to hit the space bar after he uses a comma.

Whether you want to believe it or not, your company is [***]. A total fraud. You overcharge the living hell out of honest, hard working people trying to run businesses by purchasing cheap 30 second radio ads on no-name stations and selling them at a ridiculous mark up. Plain and simple.

This is in no way meant to "help the community". The people at this company tell their potential buyers that this is a "once a year" project. Another lie. As soon as someone pays their bill, they are being harassed again. Even if they tell you no, you'll wait another couple of weeks and call them again with the same [***].

I understand you're probably frustrated as you're likely making about $120 a week with your commissions, but please don't try and pass this off as anything more than an overpriced crock of s&%. None of the dope smoking high school drop outs in that building are there becaues they want to stop drunk drivers, they're trying to make money. And they are told by the "higher ups" not to take no for an answer, even if it means bothering people who are trying to make a LEGIT day to day living.

Your insane amount of responses defending your company will make no difference. Telemarketing still works in some instances I'm sure, but it's undoubtedly at an all-time low. As someone who works for a legit business, I can assure you that no one cares to advertise on the radio anymore, especially for such obsurd prices. Good luck though, pound those phones hard today little buddy!

John's Concrete. HAHAHAHAHA. Nice try there, "hard worker", but we know it's you.

Every single "positive" response from a "business" on here came from a half-wit employee of your scam artist company.

Good luck!

Ring, Ring.....Answer
Caller In thick NY Italian accent, "This is William Jones, is the owner in?".
My reply: "No, they're not".
William Jones: in same thick accent "Do you know when they'll be in?"
Me: "uh..."
William Jones: *click*

Legit businesses don't hang up when calling people and they don't use fake voices either.
Telemarketers, from what I read on whocallsme.com (lousy ones at that) .

Then why is a COMMUNITY SERVICE calling me from ARLINGTON IL. When i live in Muskegon MICHIGAN....You're obviously an idiot. For if you did work for a Legitimate company, YOU WOULD KNOW HOW TO SPELL.

phyll wallace your an idiot!  This is a scam.  Been trying to get the proof of service from them and will not provide it.  They are a scam plain and simple.

Seriously if you have to come on here to defend you company for it's shady practices and douche-bag employee's then you must see that there is something wrong.  Yes the people, like you, from your company are rude, nasty, liars who do and say stupid things on a daily basis.  It's what you do.  You are an idiot.  Plain and simple.  Hopefully you come to terms w/ that sooner than later and move on to something more respectable, rather than stay there and remain a hygiene product.  Your BBB rating sucks by the way, why would you even try to defend that?

This company is being sought for multiple felony acts in the State of North Carolina.

The Secretary of State called this company, and when speaking with the 'supervisor' who would not forward to an executive or legal representative, the supervisor retorted that she wouldn't 'forward a grimy [***] black person'.

If you or any person who is a legal resident of North Carolina has been contacted by this organization, at any time, please call our office at 919-807-8200, or this link: http://www.secretary.state.nc.us/csl/

honestly, your company is a scam.....u push people into things they don't even want by making promises you don't keep, somehow my business was suppose to buy one of these ads, "to help support the community"  and i had many people listening to see if they heard it including myself, the ad was not there, of course u have an ad that you made up to play back, sounds great but it was never played on the radio station and further more, your company people are not nice, they are JERKS.....please stop harassing people.  I hope someone important finally reports you to the Better Business Bureua.

So hard worker which one of these little boys on facebook are you?
I've seen the facebook page for your "company", bunch of little boys being promised the quick easy buck!
If you are such a "Hard Worker" what is wrong with your spelling and grammar?

totally scam said he was from a readi station, unable to call back dont give him any info

Ok here goes.  This is a LONG story and it has done nothing but cause me headache.

I received a call from a guy claiming to be looking for sponsors for "no drinking and driving" ads for Super Bowl weekend.  I figured, "ok my dad was killed by a drunk driver a couple years ago so this i a cause im definitely willing to support"  Nearing the end of the sale i was approached with "Now what major credit card will you be paying with today?"  I stopped him and reminded him that he said they would send me a bill along with a schedule that said exactly when my ads would be run.  "Well sir if you pay upfront i'll set you up with 3 free prime time ads along with the 3 you just bought"  I kindly replied with "No thanks, this is my first time i think ill take it slow".  He persisted with trying to get me to pay upfront which i declined.  the phone call concluded and i felt good that i was doing something to promote my new company and show that i have a care for anti dui programs due to my past.  

I did not hear anything or get anything in the mail from this company until about 5 weeks after Super Bowl weekend.  I received a "late payment" statement.  I immediately called the number on this form to find out what what was going on and to refute the bill.  the first guy i talked to was a complete jerk calling me a liar and saying that i was just trying to get out of paying them.  The argument became so heated that he hung up on me.  I called back and told the receptionist to let me speak to her boss, she hung up on me.  I called back and said let me talk to your boss and you better not hang up on me this time.  I was placed on hold for about 5 minutes.  Brandon Wiley, the VP of Sales at NTMS Ltd. answered the phone.  I told him of my 2 previous calls and the situation at hand.  I informed him that i had not received          the schedule as promised by the sales guy and had been listening to the station and did not hear my ads at any time during the period i was told they were going to air,  He said " Well sir im sorry that you didnt get your schedule, we sent out 2 of them.  I can guarantee that the ads were run so what can we do to settle this?"  I told him that i wanted a copy of my ad and proof from the FCC that they were played.  He said  "ok sir i will send out an affidavit from the FCC that states EXACTLY when your ads were played and i will send you a disc with a copy of your ad on it if we can get half of what you owe us right now."  
hmm, okay this sounds like a good plan ill make a show of faith and maybe ill get what i want

I paid the man and he told me that these items would be sent out in the next day or 2.

A couple weeks later i get a call from a John i think his name was saying that my account is past due and they want their money.  I calmly explained to him what his "boss" and i discussed and that when they come through they will get their money.  

the next day i get the same call from a matt, same conversation same result.  And AGAIN the next day i get a call from jim or joe or something.  i said look you guys have called me for the past 3 days and i have told you the exact same thing each time, are you even looking at my account right now?  "well uh no sir i dont have it in front of me right now"  I said "Well, when you decide to go to work today pull up my account and look at the notes your boss put on there.  Don't call anymore until you come through on your end of the bargain"   About 2 hours later i get a call from shaun, this time i blew up.  I yelled my explanation to him and told him they were not going to see another dime from me until they made good on their promises.  

About 2 weeks later i get an email from Brandon Wiley.  This time he has attached an mp3 file of my "ad".  This ad was a general safety message about car seat safety.   I immediately called Mr. Wiley.  his response to my complaint was "I'm sorry sir but we dont make the ads we just sell them, i see here that this is the ad you bought.  I'm sorry if the salesperson misheard you but ill make you a deal.  After you pay us ill run 2 free drunk driving ads for you"  no thanks i just cant wait to be rid of you crooks was my only thought.  i told him no and that after i get the affidavit they will get their money.

A weeks or so later i get an email from Mr. Wiley again asking why i have not paid them yet.  I responded with i have yet to receive the affidavit as you promised but as soon as I do and i verify its validity a check will be in the mail.

I got a phone call from Mr. Wiley on May 6th asking if i had gotten the affidavit they send out.  I had not gotten anything in the mail.  He asked for my email address so he could send it out because apparently he had lost it.  Towards the end of the day i got an email from him containing an invoice from the radio station to a company called "West End Media Group inc."  I called the radio station to verify this information and request a copy of my ad and got nowhere.  apparently the same mexican woman with a horrible accent was performing every role possible in the building as she said she could no forward me to anyone that she was that person.  20 minutes later i get a call from someone at NTMS saying i owe then money, i shooed him away with i'm already talking to your boss.  I called the radio station again to get some contact information for this West End Media Group.  The lady at eh radio station forwared me an email with an address and phone number for them in it and nothing else.

i did some digging into this information and apparently West End Media Group is based out of a Storage unit at Advantage Self Storage in Lewisville, TX.  Their phone number goes to a voicemail system for an Aaron Carlock, Sales Manager for Hemisphere GPS.  And according to Google they share the storage unit with World Innova Corp.  I continued to dig around and found a Facebook page relating to NTMS Ltd.  This page is scattered with "cash money in da pocket!"  "Great job! Great atmosphere! Honestly one of the easiest ways to make great money as a student or anyone looking for quick and sufficient money! NTMS is a great learning experience and they're progressing everyday! Not a joke this place is easy money in the pocket!!" "Youngggg moneyyyyyy" kind of comments that would only come from an ignorant child.  "Call me for an interview.  Guys 20-26 making 40-60k a year"

I called the radio station 2.5 hours after our last conversation to try to get more information and got the message "former <Radio station>, our smooth jazz is no longer available.  we now operate strictly online"  the frequency has been taken over by a "christian" radio station.

I called the Polic Station in Mount Prospect, IL to see if they had any information on these guys.  Apparently they have gotten complaints but there is no evidence for an investigation.  The local police station believes this company to be a "debt collection agency".

I called NTMS from a different phone to try to get information from them about West End Media Group and was told that they work for said company and that the receptionist is not allowed to give out contact information.

I will continue digging into this until i have resolved it.  i hope other find this useful and DON'T GET TAKEN LIKE I DID!!

I am compiling all of this information along with web printouts and will be submitting to the FCC, FTC, BBB, FBI the Illinois Attorney Generals office, Mount Prospect PD, the fraud department at my bank and my attorney.

He called looking for my boss.  I told him that he wasn't in and asked if I could help him.  He said no he would just keep calling all day and hung up.  He also didn't identify himself.

one girl one guy 3 mins apart.  Asks for owner no message consistant nagging.  I tried explaining that you have to leave a message because he's always out, he installs carpet for a living it doesn't install itself.  Then they hang up.

Salesman claimed to be from ESPN radio in Austin. They sold us an ad, which never ran as promised and then called back saying we owed them money whether or not the ad actually ran as promised in the contract.
When we told them the ad never aired, and we were not paying without proof the commercials aired, they simply said it didn't matter if they did their job, we agreed to pay and we better pay or their going to take us to court!
The same guy as contacted us from this number serveral times, he acts as supposed ESPN salesman, collector, and LIAR! Be very weary of this firm/scam operation.
When I told the collector I was going to contact ESPN radio regarding the supposed commercial, he told me he would send me more information to show the ad aired. Of course, I never received anything but more annoying calls. I am writing this to inform others to watch out for these guys, and contacting ESPN radio 1530 in Austin, Tx to try and resolve this problem.

My story is very similiar to yours, and I don't believe my ad has ever aired! When I confront these crooks on the phone it is always a disaster. They lie and make promises which they never keep.
Luckily, I have never given them a dime! They keep promising me records, and threatening to take me to court, but as I've told them several times, when they produce proof, I'll produce money.

Please contact me if you need additional support in building your case against these crooks or add me to the complaint group!

the single most annoying telemarketing calls we get here. we're an HVAC company in the middle of a heatwave and the phones are ringing off the hook. these kids call me non stop! we're overloaded with phone calls and these guys are just the icing on the cake. "there he is, the boss picks up the phone there too?". i cant tell you how much that makes me want to reach through the phone and punch these kids in the mouth. please stop calling! someone said they get their numbers from the phone book and not the list, well please throw out your phone books then! thank you!

You spelled ad wrong dummy
