I received a call earlier this month from someone trying to solicit business for internet advertising. First it was a woman, then she passed the callto a man who said his name was John Marsh. This fellow or one of his associates called me every day for 6 days, laid out their sales pitch asked about my business, location, service offered etc. Then he dropped the bomb on me, he wanted $1000.0 per month for his services, i balked, so he dropped it to $750.0. I listened as he touted the benefits of such advts. Then he asked for my credit card info, to which i replied that i have not even seen this ad he said he's doing, and he's asking for money. He then directed me to www.cbt.cc, i didn't see the ad so he sent it in an email. I then asked for a reference, at first he refused, claiming that was not the way they normally do business, eventually he gave me the name of ONE client, leroy Braithwaite, Braithwaite's Funeral Home. Now i'm thinking with all those clients he claimed to have, he could only offer one reference. I called the # and spoke to the fella, said he knew them for 6mths, said they were "awright". That same day i spoke with the owner of Bahamian Kitchen here in Bahamas, he told me of his unfortunate encounter with thease people. Now with one vote in favor and one against, i chose to go with the no vote, and I expressed this to Mr Marsh when we spoke the following day. He had the gall to tell me that i owed him $800 plus, and he would be taking legal action, if i didn't pay. Said we had a binding" contract". I wished him well, havent heard from him since.
