I'm rejecting the response for the simple fact that to this date we already received 2 soliciting emails from your Company.The email abuse from your company is out of control.

I was told by their representative, ***************** that charges would start after the onboarding meeting but I had not been contacted after 3 months when I signed my initial contract May 20th, 2022 and I was started to charge the very first month when I signed.I have told both Sales Representative, ***************** and the Senior Account Manager, I only have One Location to come onboard instead of two locations. It was agreed upon to revise to correct the initial contract. ******** instructed **** to send revise contract to docusign on October 19, 2022 to correct to One. However, I was charged $398 for 2 stores instead of $249 for 1 store. There was an overcharge of $149 monthly for the past 15 months. I had recorded the phone message regarding ******** admittance of his commitment for the correction of contract and will talk to his company. Dandy got greedy just would not refund for the overcharges and falsely claim the revised corrected contract as an extension or a renewal which was an nonsense.Business Response

Since May of 2023 this year, GetDandy.com has been using an AI bot to spam our website. We have unsubscribed from their solicitations multiple times, and I have even went so far as to open a claim with the **** yet still, they are using our sales funnel to spam us. This costs us ****** Adwords dollars with every hit. We have asked them to STOP, unsubscribed and we are STILL getting their emails.Business Response

Good evening,
I am reviewing your claim here and first off I would like to apologize if this had been the case. We have a whole series of communications via phone and email where this was never brought up. Our company SVP and myself had reached out to you as recently as Friday November 6th 2023, and this concern was not mentioned in any manner. If you had let us know we could have looked into any campaigns that you were listed within to see what had happened. We have cancelled your account, terminated your contract, and provided refund all as you had requested. If this was in any way a concern previously we wish that you would have brought it to our attention so we could address it.Customer Answer

We would like to see this series of communication via email, as well as this contract you are speaking of. You noted that you cancelled the account; what account was that? Our Broker and the owner of our company has no knowledge of any relationship with Fair North Reviews or GetDandy.com. I never requested a refund, as we have no business relationship with you whatsoever. If we had a contract for your services, why would we be spammed to sign up for your service? None of this makes sense to us. Please provide proof of what you are referring to.Initial Complaint

This company continues to harass us even though we have filed a complaint. They emailed us again, asking us to remove the first complaint, we did not. Now they are back texting ** now with the same **** thing. We do not want ou bad reviews removed. Ho do we get them to leave us alone? They just will not stop.Business Response

Hi *****,
My current contact with you was to apologize for the original complaint and see if we could work something out to resolve.
Clearly you just wanted us to stop contacting you so I will make sure that occurs.

Dandy markets its services to assist in challenging and removing bad reviews from your website. There has been zero accountability for their efforts, if they have done anything at all. They advertised to me that the bad reviews would be taken down within ***** days. I have had zero activity on my account over the past 3 months since joining and cannot even get a representative from the Company to call me back and review my account with me. As far as I am concerned, Dandy has not lived up to their promises and I would like a full refund. Do not recommend.Business Response
