How to Spot Advertising Scams

1

Watch out for anyone who wants to act as your agent to promote your business or service or sell any rights you own. The scam artist will charge an upfront fee without guaranteeing results. Even if the fee is low, don't pay any agent in advance.

2

Check references. If you're considering signing with someone to manage your advertising, ask for references. Have thorough conversations with these people so you can make sure the person you're thinking about working with is on the up and up.

3 Watch out for advertising guarantees. No legitimate advertiser can guarantee results. If you're signing up with an advertising company, they might tell you how many businesses or households your ad will reach or what the expected results will be. But be cautious about any advertising company that guarantees success.

4

Don't buy products or services that tout what they're selling as "hot" or as an incredible investment opportunity. If you're in the market to purchase a business or service, investigate the industry yourself to determine the deal's chances for success. Use common sense. Don't just fall for every quick advertising cliche.

5

Watch out for exotic investments. Promotions that tout investments as an exotic way to make money, such as investing in satellites, gold mines or ostrich farms, are typically fake and are just after your money.

Online Google Advertising Scams in General

1. If it’s too good to be true, it probably is…
   Be wary of online ads offering deals that seem too good to be true. Ads promising expensive products or services for free or next to nothing, such as a new car or island vacation, likely have a malicious intent.
   
2. Avoid the usual suspects…
   Ads congratulating you for being a website’s one-millionth visitor, offering prizes (like a new laptop or tablet) in exchange for completing a survey, or promoting quick and easy ways to make money (“get rich quick working from your home in just two hours a day!”) are more often than not up to no good.
   
3. Watch out for Google money scammers…
   Some online ads illegally use the word “Google” or other trademarks to promote false “work from home” or “get rich quick” schemes. Google does not offer such programs; remember: if you can’t find an advertised product or service on our list of Google products or on the business solutions page, don’t trust it.
   
4. When in doubt, play it safe…
   Do you just have a bad feeling about an ad? Trust your gut! Only click on ads that you think are safe and leading to a legitimate website.
   
5. Report scam ads…
   If you clicked on or saw a bad ad on Google, please let us know using this feedback form. We are committed to developing the best experience for our users and doing our best to never show you ads that can be harmful.

This kind of says it all. This company I come to find out is run by a person named Fred Durham, a person who scammed many other companies as National Publishing Group and several other names to that effect. This is another multi-media type programs where the bang for the buck looks to good to be true. Well it is.

There are many complaints and some are hard to believe. I will start posting them. It is a shame that some business that are hanging on the edge, and spend the last of their money get caught up with people like this that take the last on their money. You wonder why that small business down the block seemed to vanish.

NOT ONE.

This might be another TV Fanfair, Oh wait, we found out MR. Fred Durham, the owner of this company was involved with TV fanfair as well. Seems the same scum go around changing their name and taking hard working business owners for all their money.

TV Fan Fair - OMG - I am not sure it can get lower

This company has been a round a long time, and I am not sure why. I have heard the largest amount of horrific stories from not getting anything at all, to publications getting mailed to the wrong state instead of around the block from the business who bought the program. They have these Movie pamphlets, because they really do not deserve to be called a publication, as it is one 2 color coffee news type of thing. -  And I do not mean any disrespect to Coffee News as they come out in the correct places.

Crazy rip off.,
