I did NOT see the Data Line "consumer complaints" until AFTER I called them, asked a ton of questions and placed an order!!! I wanted a specific area to be my target so, I called and asked for the zip codes I wanted to "market." I placed my order and I waited patiently for my list to arrive!
They told me it would take extra time to "target" the zip codes I wanted to "market" to. I was okay with waiting a few extra days! I had to be because I had ALREADY given them my credit card number, expiration date AND the security code on the back of the card. PLUS they had my address, phone number, work number and almost every piece of information to defraud me! WHY do I always look on the internet AFTER I have given the nformation myself!!! That was a rhetorical question/statement!
So, there I was at home, spending a ton of money for color copies with terrific information about my little growing business!!! Two hundred copies are not cheap when they are color copies!!! Then there was all the editing and rewriting, because I am NEVER satisfied with the first draft regardless of the quality of writing! I'm NO MATH WHIZ but I knew I was getting pretty deep into my ski money!!! NOW add the previous to the COST of the STAMPS!!! I am in for WAY MORE than lunch money!!! Add to ALL that, my time, which is worth my job salary per hour and I AM IN WAY OVER MY BUDGET!!!
I have CALLED about my list a couple of times because by now; I am frightened that this might be a big fat fraud!!! They assured me that the list was being compiled, another call; That the list had been printed and was en-route to their office in OMAHA, NE! Last call, LAST NERVE; The list was on it's way to me!!! Finally!!! I asked another set of questions but... They had NO ANSWERS!!! They had all the answers BEFORE they took all my information AND my credit card number!!!
FAST FORWARD TWO WEEKS AFTER I MAILED OUT MY INFORMATION!!! My little Boutique has opened, I am getting calls all day!!! My sales are TERRIFIC AND... My PANIC over the list was unneccessary!!! I AM FINALLY getting to the point where I go a week without someone bringinr in their advertisement packet. That list was the BOMB DIGITY!!! Sorry it took forever to write about my experience!!!
