You’d think that passing off on Google’s name would get you noticed, but it appears Google Directory is going strong:
“But wait”, you say, “nobody is stupid enough to believe that is Google”.
And you would be right. But this is what they send out in their spammy emails
Now, dear readers, I’m sure you wouldn’t fall for this obvious scam, but it appears that no matter how much people are warned, there are still enough that will hand over their hard earned cash to scam artists like these.
It appears they don’t even pay their poor sales people
I have worked for GoogleDirectory.co.nz as a Customer Service Representative’ Sales for 3 weeks and still haven’t got paid. I have a family to look after, hence the reason I look for work and I got the job through an agency, they won’t tell you anything about this job you’ve applied. Feels like chasing the wind within the circle, the amount of times I’ve asked, text, call the CEO for my pay, but I left with unanswered phone calls, the promising texts, ‘they missed the cut off last nite, it (the money) won’t be through till tomorrow (Saturday). ‘You will receive a full and final settlement offer today (3/07/2013)’ nothing happened, no money as of today. But it appeared as a very interesting business, declaring they are the largest online business directory in NZ which was launched on the 1st July 2013, this week. dodgybusiness.co.nz
Turns out they didn’t like that being on the Internet, and said they would pay if the above was removed
In addition, I received a phone call from the CEO of SMP Marketing, GoogleDirectory.co.nz and Corporate Search (09/07/2013 @12:54pm), apparently 3 different names, operate from one place, one CEO, asking me to remove my publicity FIRST then I will get paid, put it in writing, email it to him.
Do you really think I’m that dump?, my respond was, ‘I am not removing any of my post until I get paid and I will continue to do so.’ Perhaps consider it as free advertisement for your Dodgy business, you’re still recruiting and I’m not surprised if people come and go and never get paid.
On their FB page, SMP Markeing working in conjunction with GoogleDirectory.co.nz to launch NZ largest online directory, you are a joke. SMP are initials for the CEO’s name LOL whereas if you call their phone number 09-215-4249 they will answer ‘SMP Marketing good morning’ but if you sell their product and calling businesses, you will say ‘Hi this is Lisa from GoogleDirectory.co.nz’ ‘Hi this is Lisa from Corporate Search’ …where do they operate from LVL 3, 369 Queen St, Auckland dodgybusiness.co.nz
You have been warned.
Ok, lets let our fingers to the walking:
Googledirectory.co.nz is owned and operated by Corporate Consultants & Advisory.
Company Office details lead us to the sole director, Simon Mcleod.
Meat the genius behind the operation:
