      This company called and was asking me if I would want to be a part of the Marion county sherrif ***** advertisement. I told them to send me an email of what it would look like so I could get an idea of what I would be paying for. There's a ton of scams asking for my credit card **** daily, so I wanted to see actual evidence that it was legit. Few weeks later they emailed me an invoice for $595 and will not quit calling me and telling me I owe them money. The invoice they emailed me isn't even in my business name, it's in the previous name the business was called before I purchased it over a year ago. I've never agreed to buying anything verbally or through any type of text, email, or otherwise. If I don't quit getting invoices I'm just going to hire an attorney and they can pay the attorney fees, plus a harassment suit.

      ****! We have been trying to cancel this scam for a year, and they keep telling us there is a different campaign we agreed to do, which we did not. Also, we have been told at least three times we were canceled, only to get another call today about ANOTHER campaign. They said if we paid for this one, we would be done. The same thing they have said the past three times. No MORE! What a scam. I have NEVER dealt with such a terrible company before.

      This business is a SCAM! They contacted our office about putting our ad on a community map to be handed out to people in out community and town. We were told that we were bound to two payments of $550.00 and had to purchase two quarters. After speaking with our local chamber we were advised that they had NOT contracted with this company.Again, this company is a scam!

      Explore other options!!!!!!Our company agreed to advertise, what was verbally described to us by a saleslady that came into our place of business , as on magnets with 911 emergency #, this was approx. April 3, 2024. July 15th We received a box in the mail containing an Invoice and 2 tote bags with our company name, address. phone number on them . I attempted to contact the business information on the Invoice Totes2Go. ******* did return the call stating our count had been paid in April. However when told this was not what was described to us or what we agreed to she stated she was not there and could not tell me what it was we paid for . She stated the 2 bags we received were complimentary . As if all the horrible and wrong doings in business are not enough for small, family owned businesses to have to navigate through you get deceived trying to advertise and promote.

      Towards the end of May our company agreed to have UAC Corporate do advertising on a map. Several days later we received multiple invoices for bags, magnetic stickers, and calendars that we did not agree to purchase. This seems to be the way this company works. DO NOT EVER SAY YES TO THIS COMPANY.

      This company is a scam! Do not agree to purchase from them. I contacted the *********** that UAC claimed they were getting advertisers to support the high school school calendar magnet for the coming school year. This company claimed the magnet would have a few companies represented on the magnet along with the year's school calendar and would give them out to all the parents when school started. The principal of this local high school said that they are not participating nor did they ask said company to produce magnets for them.

      This business is an ABSOLUTE SCAM as others have already stated. They called claiming to be "Totes to Go" representing a local nonprofit. I wish I would have read these reviews before agreeing to do business with them. They continue to harass us for more money claiming I agreed to do four different ads at $500 each (quarterly) which is a total lie. I agreed to a ONE TIME promotion. They will also claim there's no contract when you ask to see it and suddenly the calls are not recorded when you ask to listen to them so you can prove you never agreed to it. I also contacted the local nonprofit and they never received the promised totes. When I was FINALLY able to speak to a "supervisor" (all other employees are extremely rude & will hang up on you FYI), they assured me they would make this right. I hope they do, but all I can say is PROCEED WITH EXTREME CAUTION.

      This company is so demanding. I signed up for some advertising with them a year ago. Part of the ads was not fulfilled, so I refused to pay them. Fast forward a few months, they called me and threatened to take legal action. I asked about the shirts that I never received (third payment) and they told me that they don't print until all sponsors are paid up. I recited the verbiage that was told to me "the shirts will be given to the players to wear to the games, that way people in the stands will see them". After I recited that, I was told that was far from the truth. Anyway, they finally sent the shirts and I paid. I received a bill later in the month, I had called and confirmed that I had made payment. The person that I spoke with told me that my "account" was paid in full. Fast forward to yesterday (03/24) I was contacted again. I was told that I had ads that weren't fulfilled and was again threatened with legal action. So, I paid again. This time I was offered a 3 month payment plan or one time purchase that saved me $100. I opted for the 3 month plan. I jumped on my banking app and saw they hit my card for the total amount of $900 (three month plan) where it should have been $800. I called and left a message, we will see if they return my call and make it right, if not I have other ways to handle it.
