I got a call in December of 2014 about buying ad space on their website. I was told all about their traffic stats, their affiliations with unions, etc. Was told they represent over 100,000 active union members that visit their site. I was doing real estate part time on nights and weekends so I thought, cool let's do this. I built a profile, got the ad up there and nothing every happened. A year later without so much as a single contact I decided to do some research and see what was wrong.

Their page ranks, site traffic, everything I was told was a complete lie. Their daily traffic is so low Follow can't even rank it. In addition, I've found countless other reviews from people that have been completely ripped off by these scammers. They may be a legit business on paper, but these people are selling absolute lies and they know it.

Anyways I was able to find the owners cell number online on his facebook page and called him directly because I obviously was getting no where by calling Union News. He picked up, and seemed pretty shocked I was able to find his number. I'm a pretty resourceful internet sleuth lol. I told him I'd simply like a prorated refund of the remaining year of ad time, or $120 of the $240 because I was dissatisfied. I was very polite and game him the facts that I thought some of the stuff I was told during the sale was incorrect and only wanted a prorated refund which I think in hindsight was honestly being TOO reasonable, especially after reading how many other people these guys have ripped off. This guy continued to give me the run around so I said fine I'll just dispute the entire charge with my credit card company. He laughed and hung up on me. So I disputed the charge and got my whole $240 back. These guys are low life fraudsters don't fall for it.
