Robo "google" call.... These scammers call constantly from all different numbers.  They want me to PAY for a FREE google web site.  Apparently, there are enough stupid people out there who will pay.....yeah, through the nose!

Reputable companies show their info correctly on their caller ID.  Not these people..... I always press 1 to waste their time in return.  If enough people did that then they would go out of business.  No Call List certainly isn't helping.  

PS:  I actually got 2 more from other numbers while typing this message!

YOU BASTERDS SHOULD BE UFINIZED

I was also defrauded by 29'Prime

Hello,
Thank you for your blog site.
I am emailing to let you know that I also was a victim of 29'Prime.

I was called by 29'Prime on April 17, 2012, and given a sales pitch that they could place my website on Google Page 1 (for a minimum of 3 out of 10 keywords) and of course I was a little doubtful, but I listened to their guarantees ("Rank On Google Page One in 60 Days...or IT's FREE".
So I decided to try them out.
Their initial Set-up charge on my credit card was $299.

The following day, April 18th, they called me to remind me and clarify that I would be receiving a Google Postcard with a 5 digit PIN from Google, and that I MUST call them immediately upon receipt of my Google PIN for them to activate my account and begin the SEO for my 10 keywords.
Again I asked how long this would take, and he replied 3-5 days, at the most, and to make sure that I called 29'Prime as soon as I got it.
I then asked him again, how long will it then take for my site to rank on Google Page One? and he confirmed that it could take up to 60 days, but often some of my keywords would rank sooner, even in 30 days or less.
Again I asked him to confirm that if they could not get at least 3 of my keywords to rank on page one in the 60 days, their service was FREE ... and he assured me that the 29'Prime Guarantee was exactly that: "Rank On Google Page One in 60 Days...or it's FREE".
Later that same day a charge of $99 appeared on my credit card statement (apparently for the first month's 'service charge').

Four days later I had not yet received my Google PIN, so I emailed them a service ticket...immediately received a service ticket auto-confirmation response...but no one ever personally replied or answered my questions, and no one ever called me to resolve my inquiry!

One month after signing up, May 17th, I still had not received my Google PIN.
Later that same day a charge of $99 appeared on my credit card statement (apparently for the second month's 'service charge').
So I sent another email service ticket...and again I received the same auto-responder service-ticket auto-confirmation response...but no one ever personally replied or answered my questions, and no one ever called me to resolve my inquiry!

19 days later, May 26th, I finally got fed-up with them totally ignoring me and emailed the following:

"I am extremely frustrated and angry at the total lack of service from 29 Prime...
Since my initial payments of $299 on Apr 17th and $99 on Apr 18th, I had waited for 29 days for your postcard with my PIN number to arrive in order to activate my account!
Nothing had come...
Another payment of $99 was taken from my credit card again today, May 17th, and still nothing has been done with my account.
So I had by then already spent $497, with absolutely nothing to show for.
So I wrote you an e-mail with my displeasure and also placed a service ticket (#21928) to get an answer, but no one ever responded!
I was completely ignored...

So after patiently waiting for another 8 days, with no response from anyone human, I received an automatic auto-responder canned e-mail!
Your service is absolutely non existent and deplorable. You should be utterly ashamed!
It is now 38 days and I still have not received my PIN or even one single courtesy or follow-up call from any one at 29 Prime...
This is terribly and shamefully unprofessional behavior.

I have been in the construction service industry 30 years and I personally respond to every call within 8-12 hours, by myself, with no secretaries.
Your total lack of response is absolutely inexcusable and unacceptable.

This morning, May 26th, I finally made a phone call and waited, and was finally told that I was now first in line in the queue when a recorded message directed me to leave a voice message, so I opted for speaking with a service consultant, and waited, and repeated the process twice, and waited, and waited, until finally I could wait no longer and left a voice message...but no one responded to my message either.

I now have come to realize that 29 Prime cannot be relied upon or trusted at all. Your service really stinks!
I am so incensed with 29 Prime...yet I am still by the grace of God restraining my anger...for now...

I actually trusted your promise: "Front Page Placement Or It's FREE"!

Well the reality and the fact is that I already paid out $497 and 29 Prime has done absolutely nothing for me in 38 days, not even activated an account.
This is absolutely disgusting and totally intolerable!
NOT ONE SINGLE thing was done! An Absolute BIG FAT ZERO?
EXCEPT TAKE MY MONEY !

I thus demand a FULL REFUND of all my monies paid to date...and an immediate termination of any further or future payments ever again.

PLEASE REVERSE ALL AMOUNTS CHARGED TO MY CREDIT CARD IMMEDIATELY
- ALL CHARGES UP TO THIS DATE - ALL $497 - AND NOT ONE RED CENT LESS -
AND DO NOT EVER APPLY ANY FUTURE CHARGES - EVER AGAIN -
YOU DID NOT EVEN COME CLOSE TO KEEPING YOUR PROMISE
I DEMAND A FULL REFUND - NOW - - IS THAT CLEAR ENOUGH ?

Furious,

Well, as usual... that was totally ignored as well, just like all of my other attempts.
8 days later, June 4th, I sent another email cancellation notice, and again was ignored on my third attempt.
I realized that in 2 weeks they would again be charging my credit card with another $99 for their 'monthly service charge' so I then called my credit card company to bar this merchant and stop 29'Prime from taking any more money from my account, and also initiated a dispute to reverse the first 3 charges (total of $497) for NON-PERFORMANCE of so-called services. So Mastercard proceeded to reverse these 3 charges on my behalf. Boy was I relieved!!!
The next day, surprise, surprise! I got an email from 29'Prime ...
Never got any responses before this, not even once, until I finally cut them off and got the 3 previous charges reversed...!
They had the gall to sound surprised as to 'Why I had Cancelled?"
So I sent them a long email with all of the service tickets' numbers and finally they responded by email that they had closed my account and confirmed that my account was now shutdown.
And yet the "push-button Template webpage" they had put up for my so-called personal account, was still live, and still is today (August 13th, 2012) as of this writing.

Then about two weeks ago the BAD NEWS came that 29'Prime had sent my credit card company a 12 page record of service performance and Mastercard had re-billed my account with the 3 original charges, and I was out $497 ...

I have tried several times to dispute these fraudulant charges with Mastercard, but they insist that since I voluntarily gave 29'Prime my card number and agreed to their TOS that I am on the hook...

In order to re-open my dispute I now have to prove to Mastercard that 29'Prime DID NOT perform the service as per their Terms Of Service, by providing an unbiased Third Party letter on that company's letterhead, providing a documented Second Opinion to the improbability of 29'Prime ever achieving their promises, demonstrating they did not perform the service, and that they violated their TOS...(since I paid for 60 days but nothing at all was done), and only then can my dispute be re-opened, with no guarantee that I will get my money back.

So the long and short is that I have been screwed out of my $497...

29'Prime is a scam and they will try to take you for as much money as they can.
Please beware?Stay away from them like the plague.

I sure would love to get these crooks behind bars, where they can no longer scam innocent business owners, but first must try to help all of us victims to get some of our stolen money back while we still can.

P.S. I give my express permission for you to publish this story on the site.

pressing 1 , will get you an ENDLESS amount of calls . .just hang up
29 prime Google SCAMMERS , search 29 prime . .they have flooded yelp and yahoo with FAKE reviews . .reality is, they are  a SCAM company

They keep calling my house and we are not a business. I have repeatedly asked them to remove us from their calling list because we are not a business and never have been.  We do know that at some point an auto parts store used to have this number, but they have not had it for years.  It is very annoying and I have no idea who to contact to resolve this issue.  Anyone have any ideas?

Pre recorded message from google saying we have not yet claimed our free web site and we need to act now. Nothing is free and we have had a website for many years anyway

SCAM - RUN FROM THEM, OR REGRET IT

Can we get the address in Maine, so we could talk with them on are terms?

"FRONT PAGE ON GOOGLE" , is nothing more that Google places,
a FREE SERVICE FOR EVERYONE, CEPT IF YOU USE THIS COMPANY
THEY THE WILL LOCK DOWN AND HOLD HOSTAGE YOUR FREE GOOGLE PLACES, MAKE YOU PAY $100 a month for their WORTHLESS SERVICE . ..DO NOT GET SCAMMED- 29 PRIME IS A SCAM , search for yourself , they wont even tell you the name of their company, untill you sign a
contract to maintain your " GOOGLE PLACES " .  .never, never do business
with the SCAM COMPANY - NEVER - NEVER - NEVER

you WILL BE ripped off . . .

they are in orange county, CA . . they are a scam, numerous complaints
to the BBB, and they have changed their company name 3 times
29 prime, was one of their names....too many calls into the DA's office

nothing but HORRIBLE REVIEWS on Yelp and yahoo

Great work mike . .. EXACTLY , ask them their business address
and business lic # , . .then ask yourself why would you want to do business
with a company that uses a FALSE phone # to call you??

They pretend to be Google

These people called today and tried to say it was something from the Web...sure. Turn them all over to the Attorney general!

i get these types of calls all the time. This time I just heard silence.

pressed #1 and spoke to Jacob Young who said he was from Loyal9. He said they optimize your business on Google, Bing and yahoo for $187.00...He said he was calling from 60th floor of the Empire State Building in NY...After he already asked me if I was in NY...This is Jacob Young's # (347-850-2979)...Website he told me to checkout is (Loyal9.co)........

DO NOT PRESS # 1

they will call you..MORE AND MORE AND MORE AND MORE

I hate these robo calls.  I pressed "1" to speak to a "live operator" and I politely told him that we already have a website and he can take us off of their list.  We'll see.

I did that and the voice mail was full.

Got call from Biddeford ME.
Like a dummy I called back but quickly hung up. It said- "If you want to be on the do not call list please press 1...."
I hung up but I am sure I will get more.

Called again today, not surprising. Spoke with a nicer girl who said she will put us on the do not call list. I'm going to ignore all of these calls going forward and report each one I get.

These jerks called 5 times in 5 minutes. I hit 1 at one point and was told the wait time was 4 minutes. I'm trying to run a business! I'm calling Portland police on these jerks tomorrow.

You are so right.  The first few scam calls I got I called back to be removed and the calls just multiplied!  Now I don't answer ANY call I don't recognize and there has been a drastic reduction in the number of calls I get.  NEVER answer if you don't know the number (if it's important they will leave a message) and definitely NEVER call back.

Called back again today. I pressed 1 to speak with someone. I told her I've reported this number, and requested to be put on the do not call list. I've also emailed and called back to be put on the do not call list previously.

The girl today was extremely rude, demanding the number I reported, which was both of the numbers, and demanding to know what the company name was. She wouldn't hang up, but was a real ****, I eventually hung up on her. I told her she does not need to know what number and what company I reported and if she doesn't know the number she is calling from then that is her issue.

Yup just love those Google impersonating fraudster impotent side-winding slippery snakes at 207-571-8672 aka LOCAL WEB localweb.com or by many other names local.com elocal.com yellowbook.com etc...etc...etc..  I to Honest Abe in California get these strange calls "cat got your tongue" phone pranksters.  Workin hard at keeping my good name.  Thank you everyone for your comments.  Also be aware of izito.com and zapmeta.com

You may find this interesting.

1.  The office for this company is a UPS store.   (Like we could not have guessed this one)

2.   The real name of the company is 29 Prime and 29 Live

3.   There REAL phone number is:   949-777-6616

Why not call over and over and over and over and over etc again and see how they like it to
be bothered with continual calls.

Hope this helps

"3.   There REAL phone number is:   949-777-6616

Thank you kind sir for providing the phone number. One of my favorite past times is to give scammers a taste of their own medicine with the help of realmofdarkness.net soundboards.

Knock yourselves out pestering them!!!!

TerriS -
You're right, pressing one does not remove you - it just validates your number.
This "Dave" is not from Google.  Listen very carefully to the wording of his pitch.  They are selling SEO, Search Engine Optimization.  So far I have gotten Dave's call from at least a dozen different numbers.

Too many of these calls to count. I have asked sooooo many times to be taken off those lists. Might have to start contacting the Attorney General and let them go after who ever it is.

They keep calling me as well I tried the call back and pressing one and it also made it worse then I tried to hit 1 and talk to a representative but it just kept going through its speal and then hang up on me. They keep calling my home phone number which use to be a business FAX line 6 years ago and the phone company refused to inform me as such. I am getting really angry at the relentless calls from this # it is now at 6 times a day ranging from 7 am till 10 pm, I miss the days of door to door sales when you would want them to stop coming you just put a shotgun barrel in their face, they get the hint after that. I wish I could do the same here, I would if Maine was not so far away.
