Do not use Overture! It is a big ripoff!
I am in the mortgage business. I recently signed up with Yahoo Overture for a budget of 5 dollars per day / 50 dollars a month. My account went online on 12/28, and today, on 12/29, they charged me more than 600 dollars for clicks I did not receive. Do not use Overture! It is a big ripoff!
I tried Yahoo Overture, and it is a big ripoff! I had a budget of 5.00 dollars a day, and I did not select any bids. I have the same service with Google AdWords and MSN, and I have the same daily budget of 5.00 dollars with them, and if my budget is reached for that day, my account goes offline irrespective of my bids, and I am totally fine with that. What is the point in having a monthly budget? Hoping that their advertising budget for a month is fixed. I do not want to get a million clicks. My business is small, and I would not be able to handle more than a few customers at any time. That is why I had selected a 50 dollar per month budget. Now I am charged 600 dollars in 24 hours for clicks that I did not want in the first place. This is totally ridiculous, the way Overture is ripping off people's money. Do not use Overture! It is a big ripoff!
This is a totally wrong business model, and it is cheating. I did not even know that I had exceeded my total budget for a day. I would like this problem taken care of if you want me to still use Yahoo for my business advertising. Do not use Overture!
I am totally dissatisfied and disgusted with Yahoo Overture customer service. The supervisor has no idea at all. She is not willing to listen at all. I do not want to be charged more than 5 dollars per day.
Yahoo once was a trusted name, and it is becoming like a shadow company ripping off people. I have been doing online advertising for quite some time, and I wanted to try Overture. So many people have had a very bad experience with Overture!
