DataSphere

Do not do business with this company. Totally not trust worthy. When the sales person called, they represented them as from Channel 12 News. But it did not show that in the invoice. They collected the payment right away, even though the first consultation was 6 day's later. They posted a ad from their stock template right away. And called it live. It took me few days to evaluate their services. Could not find my ad. The sales person told me because the ad space was shared with 20+ more advertiser. Guarantee 45 view to my web site in a month. This has been two weeks now. Only 7 views. This company collected money without wasting any time. Cannot cancelled even in two weeks time.
Not trust worthy. They are scammers.

We signed a contract that our ad would be listed on 13 different sites. Without telling us, the next month, DataSphere switched it to only 4 sites. We didnt notice till month later. On top of that, our ad would rarely show up at the bottom of one site, and was no where to be found on other sites. The stats of how many views and interactions seemed to be false. It said 11,000 interactions with our ad happened in one day, yet we did not receive any business during the entire contract from their advertisement. DataSphere is a complete waste of money, and their business model is out of integrity.

I have no idea how this company is still in business. I wish I would have read all the reviews first. I signed up for this company. I only wanted a 6 month trial. However, I was told I would be the only service on the front page. I was then contacted 3 weeks later by a different rep who promised the same thing. That was my first sign then was a horrible scam. I tried to call to cancel they told me I would still owe them over $1,000. I can't believe that is true when I have got nothing from this ad company. They setup a banner for me and since I wasn't able to answer back in 3 days if I liked it or not they forced me into a 12 month contract. All I want is out of my contract and away from this business. BEWARE: the woman on customer service starting yelling at me saying I was under contract and there was nothing I could do but pay for it!

The sales force behind this company will have you believe this is a lead generating service, it is far from this. The unethical sales practices and non support from management is very concerning... Simply put, they are only after your money and will not deliver upon initial promise. DO NOT trust this company.

IF THERE WAS 0 STARS THAT WOULD BE MY OPTION. BIG F***ING NO. THESE GUYS LEGITIMATELY ARE A SCAM. They called and sold me something when I was in the field working, When I called back to understand the what I purchased, I was told that I am screwed into a 1 year contract even though that was not explained to me. FIRSTLY THEY DO NOT RECORD CALLS, so anything that is told to you IS A LIE over the phone. Olya, my sales agent was extremely fast spoken and you could barely understand her. Stephanie is supposedly the "floor manager," but she can't help me in any way shape or form. They both tell me I'm out of luck and there is literally nothing they can do. I RECOMMEND NEVER WORKING WITH THIS COMPANY. THEY ARE LIARS AND WILL STEAL YOUR MONEY. Learn from my experience. THE WORST EXPERIENCE EVER

They were very nice at first. When Sinclair Broadcast Group signed me up, I had never heard of Datasphere, so there was no way to check customer reviews. I wish Sinclair had been clear about using Datasphere. Datasphere was ABSOLUTELY NO HELP when I did't renew my expensive contract BECAUSE IT HAD GENERATED NO LEADS IN A YEAR! When I asked for technical help to regain control of my website, nobody at Datasphere seemed to know anything! This is costing me extra because now I have to change the url on my website! VERY UNPROFESSIONAL!

This company will NOT deliver any real results! They promise you results ("actions") but when you call them out on not providing even 1 viable lead in 11 months, they claim the "clicks" on your ad are the results they promised. The only actual "seller lead" I received actually stated in their comments that they were not looking to sell. Their product is too expensive to not get any viable leads!

They also don't tell you that you may find your direct competitor on the page where the Data Sphere ads are forwarded to. In my case, a competing realtor who's office is directly across the street from mine, had a similar ad to mine on the Local Saver page where my Data Sphere ads were being directed. I was not made aware that Local Saver would also be selling ad space to competing realtors as I was told by the Data Sphere Representative that I was paying for exclusive advertising. When going through their sales demo of how their "exclusive" ads worked there wasn't a competing realtor on the Local Saver site for the zip code I was going to be exclusive in. If there was, I would have known to question what they were telling me.

If you are going to do business with Data Sphere, make sure you thoroughly check out where your ads will be forwarded to, who else may be on that site as well, and make them specify what they are going to be counting as "results". Otherwise, you may end up throwing away a lot of money!

Please do your research before signing up with this marketing company!
We spent thousands of dollars and were not getting any real conversions. The impressions that we received on Facebook were from people who are uninterested in the services or products we provide. Why would someone love a post about financial planning that has never done business with us! These are fake impressions. Please learn from me and do not use Datasphere. We canceled our contract and we're stuck with the 40% cancelation fee. We have received no benefit from this marketing company from 9/18/2018 until now. We never saw our ad on 9 News> when we call Datasphere to help us find our ad the manager Stephanie said to me she "does not have time to find my ad on 9 News" she can't find it and won't be able to find my ad within the next 2 weeks. Why would it take 2 weeks to find my ad and take a screenshot to prove the ad was even placed on 9 news website. In addition, Datasphere said we received a telephone call from a prospect on 12/29/2018, we have no missed calls from this date as it was a Saturday. When we asked Stephanie about this impression being incorrect, she said that google analytics is the one that tracks the impressions and she doesn't know how or why the call was tracked when we show NO record of this call. Again, please spend our funds elsewhere as you will most likely not benefit from this type of marketing.

I receive several calls from advertising agencies all the time. I told them that I was NOT interested in advertising, ONLY lead generations. The sales rep told me that they personally guarantee at least 30 leads per month. She also said that with those leads, it would be my responsibility to call on those leads to convert them. In addition to that, she said she recommended I stick with them for 12 months to get the full benefits. In 3 months, I have NOT received a single lead, and when I tried to cancel they said I am required to pay 40% of the remaining months on my contract! The only thing they said in response was "I'm sorry, we will make sure to coach our sales rep. And that they do NOT guarantee leads." They didn't care that I was lied to and that I specified both to the sales rep and the manager that I was only interested in something that would guarantee leads. This company lied to me about their services, and did NOT deliver on their promise. MAKE SURE YOU READ THEIR TERMS AND AGREEMENTS carefully. There is 1 small sentence that I missed that talks about the 40% buy out of the contract. They don't tell you this and they rush you into making a decision... not to mention they send you the terms and agreement after you have already made payments. So, now you are locked in and they will not allow you to cancel unless you pay the 40% of the REMAINING Months. This company is completely unethical and a complete waste of money. Also, when looking at the activity... the impressions and so called actions that by the way does nothing to generating leads, it's only going to the local savers. Only a handful of times did I see it go to any other website outside of the local saver, so how much exposure are you actually getting? How can you generate leads if you're Ads are not getting the proper exposure they promised. There are much more effective lead generation tools/companies out there that deliver and are less costly... and don't lie to you and scam you out of your money. This company is a complete FRAUD!
