Beware of Deceptive Practices

I recently had an absolutely nightmarish encounter with SPOKEO and I feel compelled to share my experience to warn others about their unethical practices. I signed up for their services, only to find out that the information provided was inaccurate and misleading.

Upon discovering the issue, I contacted their customer service number, and the nightmare escalated from there. The representative I spoke with, although seemingly nice, had no intention of resolving the matter promptly. Instead, she placed me on hold not once, not twice, but a mind-boggling four times, each time promising that her manager would handle the situation.

Here's where the situation reached its zenith of absurdity. When the manager finally took the call, their response was nothing short of shocking. In a display of astonishing rudeness and disregard for customer concerns, the manager effectively told me, in the politest terms possible, to go jump in a lake. The manager capped off this delightful exchange by hanging up on me.

This level of disrespect and lack of professionalism is beyond comprehension. It's disheartening to encounter a company that not only fails to deliver accurate information but also treats customers with such disdain when their errors are brought to light.

I strongly advise anyone considering SPOKEO to think twice. Their sketchy sign-up services, coupled with a customer service experience that would make a masochist cringe, make them a company to steer clear of. Save yourself the frustration and headaches, and find a business that values its customers and upholds basic principles of honesty and integrity.

The Male Manager that the female handed me off to would not provide his name and hung up on me. It is no way to do business and only hope that this post helps someone else before they give their money to this soon to be black listed, sketchy operation.
