Spg Consultants Stealing Scam Stoppers Clients

It seems that SPG Consultants is attempting to steal clients from scamstoppers.com by contacting clients and offering a similar service. SPG Consultants is a scam and Winston Grant runs his so called business out of his appartment and doesn't help anybody except himself. Scamstoppers is owned and operated by Robert Bradley Duskes and he knows what to do to help clients.Trust me SPG Consultants is a scam and don't be fooled by him or his partner companies like phonepages inc and so on.

Spg Consultants Scam, beware

SPG Consultants is run by Winston Grant. The supposed purpose of the business is to help customers that have been ripped off by telemarketing companies. What they fail to inform you of on the web site is that Winston Grant is affiliated with with several questionable directory related telemarketing companies himself. Having been provided information on this company I can tell you this; it is run out of an apartment in a suburb just outside of Montreal, the phone number is a pay as you go phone who's provider is Telus Mobility and there seems to be no record of this company having ever been incorporated. They use this company as a way of trying to discredit some legitimate competitors while convincing unsuspecting customers that they will help them settle outstanding invoices. In many cases they are promising to cancel invoices for companies that they are affiliated with. In the end the customer pays SPG a portion of the invoice amount instead of to the affiliate. Be advised that this organization is not looking out for best interest of their clients but rather that of the telemarketing companies that they are involved with.

Spg Consultants SPG Consultants are fakes

SPG Consultants is run by a telemarketer named Winston Grant. This business is run out of his apartment using a Telus Mobility pay as you go phone. He has no interest in helping his clients avoid getting scammed. They sell you a directory from a different company name, you pay the bill and try to cancel your order, then they call the same customer and claim they're calling from SPG Consultants this time and say they can get you out of competitors bills by paying SPG. What makes this business so lucrative they make their money coming and going all while discrediting a bunch of competing businesses. Look at some of the names on the so called scam list, yellowpages.com is among them. That is the official yellow pages web site, not a knock off, the real one, on a list of companies they are trying to convince customers is a scam. All they do is post a list of any competing businesses on any blog related to complaining about business and hope google picks it up that way when you google a competitors business hopefully the first thing a customer will read is their claim. Are they incorporated? Do they have Tax ID numbers?

Similar companies also exist, one of which is www.scamstoppers.com run by Robert Bradley Duskes

I am so happy I found all these warnings on Robert Duskes...if only I had seen them before he hired me!

Let me give you a first hand account! I worked with Robert in his crummy little office...by the way...he says he's surrounded by important lawyers...more like pimps and other telemarketing rooms...there are at least 2 other scam telemarketing companies that work in the same building...I know..my friends work in them!

I worked for Robert's main business

Right beside me was another telemarketer, he would call all the important businesses that weren't paying on the behalf of Robert's other company scamstoppers.com.

Scamstoppers.com...what a joke...just like Robert is. Robert didn't dress to well actually...so I guess he's not making that much money...and yes I can confirm...the office is trash dump...it's cheap..just like Robert. Robert owes me $546.31 Canadian dollars...I don't think I'll ever get it...so you know what...I am going to post 546 comments on Robert and how cheap and scammy he is...that's called Karma...works both ways!

I sold on average 5 directories per day...other telemarketers sold up to 20 per day!

By the way...I read his comments...his name is not Robert Bradlely...Bradley is his middle name, his real last name is DUSKES...why do you think he would lie on that point? I know...he's a scammer that's why. It was a crappy experience working there...I think I'll be taking another profession! Telemarketing

Anyways...I am happy that I can give my unique point of view...I hope he gets stopped, arrested...he deserves it...all day long his company just scams people! I am sure he will get what he deserves! $546! Man! What a waste of my time! I should have a picture of him soon...this way you all can see the face of the con man himself!

Remember one thing Robert if you read this... you won't last long..all scams come to an end...and if you rip both your own employees and customers off...that's bad news for you!

Nationwide Business Directory. My job was to call Canadian and American businesses to sell them a bogus directory between $399 to $499...whatever I could sell. This was my first telemarketing job...and guess what...it was a total scam...and in the end I got scammed...Robert didn't pay my last paycheck!

Spg Consultants SPG Consultants Is a scam

After having done some preliminary research on SPG Consultants I can tell you a few things, they are not an incorporated company and it is run by Winston Grant and Ranier Narine. These individuals are responsible for for a slew of complaints in the online directory business and seem to use these tactics as a way of trying to discredit a large portion of there competitors. They either own or are involved in several business directory schemes themselves including, Data Source 411 and Phonepagesinc.com. I have serious reservations that this is a legitimate list of scam companies considering YellowPages.com is among the "outed"companies. There have been several blog complaint posts regarding their supposed scam prevention companies and most of which are negative. Accoring to one poster "Amanda says:

July 9, 2010 at 9:02 pm
SPG Consultants is a SCAM. SPG Consultants promised me that if I paid them they would cancel all my existing invoices from telemarketing companies that sell advertising. I had a total of five outstanding invoices, all for directory advertising. I received a letter from only one company stating that they would cancel the invoice. Another company told me that SPG Consultants was actually affiliated with some of these scam telemarketing companies based out of Montreal, Canada. I looked them up on their website and I noticed that they were based out of Montreal. I tried calling them using the phone number listed on their website and I would always get a voice mail and then I would get a call back. After doing some research I found out that the phone number listed on their website is actually a cellular phone with Telus Mobility. I Have reported SPG Consultant to the RCMP and they have told be they are currently in the process of investigating this company. They have advised me not to pay any invoices and to not accept any calls from SPG Consultants.

Consumers need to remember the internet has no filter on the information it makes available to people so don't believe everything you read...except this of course!

Scam Stoppers is a scam the BBB has issued and warning about this company.
Mis-use of BBB Name
This firm has illegally used the Better Business Bureau’s name on its Web site at www.scamstoppers.com. On November 18, 2010, the BBB requested that this firm cease and desist all unauthorized use of the BBB name and logo on its website. The BBB is awaiting the firm’s response.
THIS FIRM IS NOT AFFILIATED WITH AND IS NOT ENDORSED by the Better Business Bureau Serving Metropolitan New York, the service area in which it is headquartered.
This is an update to the latest tactics that Robert Duskes from scamstoppers.com has been involved with.
He has for the last couple of months been posting complaints through Better Business Bureau but using other clients names and businesses as the ones who are posting the complaint. However, if one looks at the actual complaints, the email and phone numbers posted belong to scamstoppers. Furthermore, if a reply is posted to the complaint, bbb is not the one who answers back, in fact, it is scamstoppers pretending to be a representative of bbb that answers back. The way to go around it is to actually go directly to bbb website itself and post a reply. Our response was to first acknowledge that any customer complaints would be dealt with directly with the customer and/or an actual true representative of bbb. Furthermore, we stated that we would not deal with any complaints made from scamstoppers as they are a scam themselves and we provided all the links where bbb could view all comments made about scamstoppers. As well we have informed bbb that scamstoppers.com is has on their webstite a statement that they are affiliated with bbb, which of course they are not, that is a total lie on their part. Since then, we have received numerous responses from bbb claiming they were unaware of some of the complaints sent by scamstoppers and they would investigate the situation. Also, there have been instance where we gather bbb contacted scamstoppers themselves and told them to remove and stop their complaints. How do we know this, well, shortly after we replied directly to bbb, some of the the actual complaints posted through scamstoppers were suddenly resolved without us having to actualy deal with the so called customer complaint. For all you businesses and people out there who are either dealing with scamstoppers' harrasing phone calls, letters, faxes, and emails, make sure to go over any bbb complaint thoroughly. Make sure the complaint is actually from bbb. In some instances they are not, they are from scamstoppers who are using bbb complaints web page without bbb's knowledge. Yup, they have gone that far. For all the businesses that have put faith in scamstoppers' help to void any fees they owe to other companies, you best check out all of the posts about them. More than likely, you are being scammed yourselves. If you want to resolve your bills, we suggest you deal with the companies you owe money to directly.More than likely, an agreement can be made directly with them. Paying scamstoppers to do that is not only costing you money, but, also, you risk having your credit rating damaged by the actual companies you owe money to.

This company charges so much to so called helping me with my invoices, but he has so many complains with the NY attorney general, his listesd as a scam himself, his not the scamstopper, his the scamstarter, i already reported him to the RCMP and Phonebusters in canada and FTC in USA, He is the owner of the company and he has other directory companies ralated to the fake yellow pages and several. He also has a coloreful resume on ripoff.com and all over the internet! SCAM SCAM SCAM SCAM WATCH OUT PEOPLE DON'T FALL FOR THIS GUY!
the list of complaints on this company is long just google Robert Bradley Duskes

Spg Consultants False Information

I do apriciate the effort that this company has put in order to find the bad apples about telemarketing companies, but there is flaw in their so called list of scams companies or so called salles pitch & so on, i'm sure there is some companies that actually do it, wich is illegal & unfair to the customers, but in my little research i also found out that SPG Consultant are making false allegations about some companies on their so called list of bad companies(when i say some it means like 2% of the list), also they put false information about them, i figured out why, is to create for themself a good name for the customers, they havent conducted any constructive investigations, nor do they have any true facts, they only assume that because 1 company or 2 or 3, uses that sales pitch, they assumed that everybody those same, probably thats why alot of those companies haven't been shut down, is because SPG Consultatnts doesn't have the true facts, they keep putting false informations about companies, they just simply choose to "slander" companies because it's easier to make themself look like the "good guys", so in a way they are also Misleding their customers just like the Telemarketing companies.

What a great post! SPG CONSULTANTS is a big scam... I work for a business called Scamstoppers. They help people who have fallen victim to the business directory scam. In the few months I have worked for Scamstoppers I have heard that alot of the victims of the business directory scam have been contacted by Winston Grant and SPG CONSULTANTS. From what I know, SPG calls up offering help to the victim and then scams the victim for 600$ or so... DONT FALL FOR THE SCAM! contact scamstoppers for real help, We file complaints against these companies every day to the RCMP, Us Postal Inspectors as well as many other agenceys and can get the calls to stop once and for all
