In June I was contacted by a salesman from Modern Marketing Systems with an offer to build 25 micro-sites. These sites were supposed to be built around keyword phrases that were heavily searched but did not currently have url's occupying those phrases.
Since the sites were built with these highly searched keywords in the URL the premise was that you would have lots of traffic. The sites were supposed to have useful information that the viewers could see and while on the site they may click on a a Google Adsense ad that was placed by Modern Marketing systems on the site.
And everytime somebody clicked on the add I was supposed to get paid. And if for some reason it didn't work and you didn't make your money back in 12 months they provided you with a 120% guarantee in writing that they would refund your money but you had to give back the sites.
It sounded like a fair deal to me but I wasn't sure so I checked them out on the BBB at the time everything looked good so I gave it a shot.
They made the sites in a couple of months and set up the ad sense account and I got pretty excited when I saw the account starting to grow almost immediately. But the excitement didn't last long because the sites made around $12 dollars and that was it.
So I called at 3 months, 6 months, 9 months to make sure everything was ok. Celeste was always very nice and said everything was fine there were no problems with the account be patient. Yaddah yaddah yaddah.
So when the 12 months was finally up I called Jim Ford to ask for my refund and he tried to tell me that I didn't pay my hosting fees and that we had to start all over. I said you had my credit card you should have been charging it. Moreover, I'm not starting over and I want my refund of $7190 wich is included the 120% guarantee. He said no that it was my fault. I slammed the phone down and called my attorney. I can't wait to send him the links to this page.
In conclusion, don't give these jerks 1 penny.
