Description
The email copied below was sent to me in April of 2024 and I responded. Later "Peter Smith" emailed and claimed to be my "project manager" He set up a phone call with me explaining how his company was sure to get my business listed in Wikipedia. There was a money back guarantee that I would get the $999.00 I paid back in full if they failed to get my business listed in Wikipedia. They began with an AI description of my company and asked me to edit it and make any changes. They strung me along for over a year. I requested a refund two months ago and they are not complying with that in any way. All my emails to them are answered by AI. From: Justin Wilson Enail: [email protected] Subject: Get A Wikipedia Page For Yourself Or For Your Company. Message Body: Wikipedia is considered to be the World’s most significant tool for reference material. The Wiki links show up on the 1st page of Google 97% of the time. With a Page on one of the most revered reference tools, you are sure to get yourself or your business noticed. So if you're thinking of getting a Wikipedia Page created, it's the best time of the year. If you are interested in getting more information just respond back to this email.
