If I could give zero stars I would. This company contacted my office 4 times within a span of 20 minutes and harassed me and my co-workers and threatened to call our corporate office on us for unprofessional behavior. The lady I spoke with claimed to be from the county and claimed to have spoken with our general manager and owner, but refused to give me her name. Our staff is under strict instructions to make detailed notes regarding phone calls for our owner and GM when they are out of the office. When pressed for information to pass along, the lady I spoke with immediately became hostile with me and told me, There is no message and I will be calling corporate on you. when I asked her for her message to the GM and proceeded to hang up. She had already called once prior to speaking with me and was hung up on because the first employee she spoke with assumed she was a telemarketer (which essentially is what she is). She called back a third time and spoke with another employee who then passed her over to me. When I got back on the phone with her, she berated me for hanging up on her and then screamed at me for being unprofessional over the phone when all I did was press her for information I could pass along to the GM. She would continuously interrupt me as I tried over and over again to explain we have our own protocols when it comes to receiving phone calls. She finally hung up on me again (but not before she made threatening remarks to me regarding how [I] have been speaking to a county official) and then proceeded to call back less than 30 seconds later only to hang up on me when she heard my voice. I did some investigating on the number she called from. It is listed as a telemarketing company. I then called the number above and spoke with a receptionist who told me the name of the company was Hometown Productions but was very evasive about the nature of the products of the company. Upon googling this company, I see I am not the only person who has had a bad experience with this company. Fear not, those of you who are unsure if the phone call from these people is possibly a legitimate call. It seems this company is nothing more than a tedious scam, manned by unprofessional, unhappy, colossal see you next Tuesdays who resort to lies, harassment, and intimidation to bully people into tolerating a phone conversation with them.

Total SCAM! Company claims to be from the county. I asked them to send me a little more information and made some phone calls to verify their claims. Long story short, they are in no way affiliated with the county and have been harassing me and my corporate office to pay a $460 bill. They claim to have a recording of me accepting the ad, but when I ask to hear it they cant find it in the system. Dont even give these people the time of day.

This company is a joke! Called to cancel a order that we did not want. The lady I spoke with was rude. When I told her we didnt want anything any more, she said Ill make a note of it. And hung up the phone. Never again.

THIS IS A SCAM. They take their advertising info from legitimate companies and then pretend to be just similar enough to them in order to sell you an ad. When I called back with more questions the person who answered gave me 2 customer service numbers....none of which worked. I called the advertiser who I had confused them with and sure enough they said their customers report this scam often.
