    I was solicited by this company called Surefirelocal.com to managed our social media incuding ***************** etc and managing all of our SEO needs in one easy plan. They sold me a 90 day contract with the right to cancel at any time I felt they were not performing the service I thought they described and I had purchased. Well, they could not access our ************************* and created a new ********, losing our existing ******** page along with the 4800 likes on that page with and ****** account. These actions further muddy the internet searches for our customers and have made it hard to find us. I cancelled this service within 4 weeks of them unsuccessfully gaining access to our social media platforms as they had promised before I signed up with them. After filing a claim with our credit card company the manager for SUREFIRE LOCAL called me and rudely told me he now sees where we officially cancelled in writing on Feb 23 (our credit card company contacted him) and that he will now allow me to cancel with a pro-rated refund. As of yet, no refund from them and we still claim they owe us a refund of almost $2000.This is an unscrupulous company and even worse the management comes across as a bully.

    This company has HOUNDED me trying to sell me their services. I sat through their service presentation and then checked their reviews online. I told the first salesman that I didn't want to move forward after reading the reviews. Fast forward about 5 months and I just received another call from a different salesman - who started off by telling me that from the original salesman's notes, I apparently was "using their reviews as an excuse to not return the first salesman's phone calls". I was shocked at this accusation coming from someone apparently interested in selling their services to me. I immediately responded that if he was going to try to sell me using that approach, they clearly deserved the poor ratings they've received online. He immediately began arguing with me to which I asked him to put me on his do not call list and told him I would be leaving a negative, but honest review! RUN from this company if they contact you!!!! Clearly NOT a company of integrity!
