No way would I give anyone credit card details like that. If he's so determined to get your business he'll send details by post.

Sounds a bit suss to me too, and is it worth the cost? Most people find web sites by search or word of mouth IMHO

Use the money to have your web site painted on your car for example, might be a better use of your cash. Or get into yell and such directories.

We dont really need to pay for advertising do we?

Tell them that unfortunately you have used your advertising budget elsewhere that you felt would be more appropriate to your business!

Yes i will do Toni, good idea, and hope they leave me alone, he was going on and on and on about who did the site he loved it, and blah blah oh and his first wife was a Christine who ran away with a fireman :laugh:

Thank you

Just say no and tell him to kiss your backside. Just joking, but once in a while it would be nice to say what you really think to people who just won't take no for an answer. :D

I've occasionaly really lost it with telesales, screamed and shouted and sworn at them to stop ringing me etc. it's satisfying, but the idiots always ring back!

Sounds like he's being a bit pushy! I wouldn't pay to advertise with someone unless I knew they were a decent company like yell.com ... and if he doesn't want to put anything in writing then he's stupidly loosing potential customers!

Thank you guys, Darren got the clal and he could not get of the phone, so in the end he said he is not paying money to someone who cannot send her details in the post, also the money she has for advertising has been put to a better use for her site lol, well he had to put the phoen down in the end, and you kwno what, i have still never recieved a confirmation from that company that the call was legit!!
Sorry to hear this Maggie, hope you get them sorted out, tell them to go to hell.
