I was solicited by Webwise Media to use their services. The salesman was very pushy and insistant that his services would work and are 100% gauranteed or your money back. They promised in writing 50 keywords of my choice would be in the top 10 positions withing 60-90 days. They told me that they were working on this with their professional techs and that all would be taken care of without my input at all. They said they had to upload the keywords into my website from their end. Hmmm... I then started to get leary. They asked me for my FTP password and username. It turns out i gave them the wrong password and they never complained or told me that it was wrong. So i knew something was FISHY. I called and complained to them and they gave me more of their sales talk and convinced me to stay on and give it more time... Time meant that they charged me 1000 dollars for every month that went by. After 7 months and $7,000 of charges they then tell me that they cannot remotely update my keywords and that i have to do this myself. I then told them that i wanted to cancel service as no work had been done yet i have a 7000 bill! After numerous calls and messages left an owner calls me back and tell me that they will sue me if i stop project! Owner was fresh, rude and downright nasty... After searching the web it seems that webwise media has done this SCAM to scores of people. I think we should all collectively report them to BBB and get all this documented.
I disputed charges with credit card company and won, next thing i know is that they serve me with a Summons for NON-Payment and tortuously damaged them ha??? WTH... America land of the free) and suing me! What a headache... Now i have to defend this... More money out of pocket...
They have so mant complaints against them that they did something very clever. They created web pages with the word webwise media and scam in te same page so people researching them will click on a positive artcle... Here is the link to two examples.

Its a shame companies like this exist. They likely have an in house attorney to deal with all these complaints...
Do not use webwise media...
