They claim to bring you in a lot of business if you will let them redo your webpage, etc.

From the complaints it looks like they charge about $5,000 a pop-put on your charge card-and then either do nothing or proceed to really mess things up.

One thing they do is add false reviews.

They are out of New York. And they seem to have a pretty good sized staff that is well trained in making cold calls.
