  • Signpost

6/25/15

The telephone marketers from signpost are very persistent, it is almost as though the strategy is to wear down the mark. After repeatedly asking about price, and payment options and hearing over and over how great they are, about their 98% retention rate, and the wonderful write up they had in Forbes (a magazine I found about as reliable as the horoscope pages), I was finally put through to a manager (Lauren) who not only lacked the authority and ability to negotiate contracts, but was also rude and incredibly immature.
This is a business I would avoid like the Ebola virus. The reviews I found online were consistent with my experience or even more unfavorable.
Do yourself a favor and stay away from signpost.com

Tip for consumers:
DON'T use this site! OK

  • Flipora

6/6/14

I thought I was at least somewhat computer savvy, but I fell for the same scam that so many others did. I accepted a friend request and experienced the intrusion of flipora on my laptop! Fortunately I did possess enough computer skills to uninstall
This malware or whatever they call it. The only response flipora has made to the numerous complaints on the web forums I have found is to offer uninstall instructions, a better business model would be to tell people upfront what it is that they are getting.

  • TaskRabbit

6/6/14

As a former Taskrabbit I can honestly say that I did work for a few nice people, but most were just looking to get work done at rates far below market value. Many times I would place low bids on work (e.g. Logo design for a sporting goods store at $300), only to find out that they expected to pay 10% of that.
Over all I would have to say that if I wanted something done, or if looking for temp employment I would go to Craigslist.
