Social Media People Net66 is a SCAM. Avoid at all costs.

They promise the world and deliver only hassle (and typographical errors, incorrect information about how facebook works, false promises about their services and NO advertising). They took my money for the free trial, provided nothing except for when i chased them (and then i had to do it all myself anyway) and then they conveniently began to chase me for more money. Not interested in customer satisfaction, only in attempting to trap you into contracts for more payments. CANCEL your card because they will charge it without authorisation and SUE them in small claims court for a refund. The more people who do this, the more chance we have of shutting the criminals down. AVOID at all costs!!

It looks like MonkeyFish is not linked to Net66.

(See thread: http://www.complaintsboard.com/complaints/monkeyfish-marketing-ltd-untrue-c599189.html )

But how does that reflect on Mr Collins who owns internetmarketingquestions.co.uk?
In the past few days he was in contact with one of our group of ex customers of TSMP/Net66, who reports that Mr Collins says he doesn't work for Net66. And yet his ex-employer says he does.
To be sure if you look at the website it LOOKS like it was written by Net66.

Who can clear up the confusion?

So as always it all comes back to Net66 looking bad, but this time with a new twist.

The link has been found and it is through an ex MonkeyFish member of staff that is now working for Net66.

scam

Net66 deserves no sympathy when another SEO company – MonkeyFish – tries its very best to disassociate itself from the Manchester scammers. Even though the other company is just a few miles from the Manchester base of The Social Media People/Net66 it says wants to have nothing to do with them.
It’s very revealing: If MonkeyFish is an honest company they fear their reputation will be ruined by association with crooks at Net66. If MonkeyFish does have something to hide it just shows that even a questionable company doesn’t want to be seen as ‘in bed with’ Net66.
But that doesn’t explain one apparent link, at: http://www.internetmarketingquestions.co.uk -
which seems to be run by MonkeyFish AND promotes Net66 as follows: “Net66 are remarkable in arrange of services I believe a company that does SEO and Web design has an advantage over anyone else in the industry. Net66 is a company based in Manchester...”

So is Net66 independently dishonest, or does MonkeyFish Marketing assisting?

I can confirm that MonkeyFish Marketing have nothing to do with Net66. If you think we are connected for any reason, please let us know how so we can remove any related information. In no way, shape or form have we ever worked with Net66 and are disappointed that as a reputable company we have been dragged into this matter somehow.

If you'd like to speak to a director at MonkeyFish Marketing, please don't hesitate to call us on 0800 228 9090.

Kind regards,
The MonkeyFish management team.

I'm lead to believe MonkeyFishMarketing or Monkey Fish Marketing is a company working closely with Net66.

ASA rules against The Social Media People / Net66 – AGAIN!

Net66 / The Social Media People is publicly exposed.

On 28 March 2012 the ASA published the result of Investigation A12-187948.
See attached extract from ASA website page: http://www.asa.org.uk/ASA-action/Adjudications.aspx?SearchTerms=net66#2

So for the 4th time the ASA has investigated and publicly ruled that
Net66/The Social Media People is NOT ‘Legal, Decent, Honest, Truthful’ (the ASA ‘motto’).
(Many of us know the awful truth of that from our own bitter experience!)

On this occasion Net66/TSMP eventually complied with the requirements of ASA by removing false and misleading claims from its website – namely addresses/phone numbers of international offices, and the flags and world map which accompanied them. If it hadn’t complied the consequences would have been even worse.
(And this adjudication also explains the recent changes on the website www.thesocialmediapeople.co.uk . TSMP changed the website at the insistence of ASA; and also gave written undertakings not to repeat the offence.)

This most recent ASA judgement against Net66/TSMP follows earlier interventions by such bodies as The Information Commissioner’s Office (Data Protection Act), Companies House (Companies Act), Trading Standards (misrepresentation).

The Social Media People and its parent company Net66 repeatedly and persistently fails
in its obligations to customers, the law, and regulations. There is no honesty or integrity from the company nor its directors.

Why on earth would anyone who’s not yet been fleeced consider giving Net66/TSMP their business?
Net66/TSMP: Legal – NO. Decent – NO. Honest – NO. Truthful – NO.

Potential Net66 customers reviews.

Note to all the potential customers, queuing up to hand over some hard-earned money:

If you want expert, accurate information about websites etc, have a look at the attached ‘samples’ from the Net66 website.
Once again, Net66 has its finger on the pulse and only got the date wrong by a month.

They profess to be the experts! – But when they’re not telling lies, they’re making mistakes.

The Social Media People dishonest ambitions shrinking.

Last week Net66’s ‘The Social Media People’ withdrew the fake international addresses from its website.
This week The Social Media People further reduced the dishonest claims it makes, and removed the ‘map of the world’ image from the ‘Contact’ website page (www.thesocialmediapeople.co.uk/contact.php)

It may be possible to contact TSMP by letter, at its back-street HQ in Manchester, but several people have reported that attempts to contact the company by sending a message via the website ‘Contacts’ page never brings a reply.
Perhaps that too, as with so many things at The Social Media People, is just misleading and a fabrication.

(See image of current ‘Contacts’ page, attached.)

Net66 scammers The Social Media People - forced to climb-down again.

What dishonest tossers they are at The Social Media People / Net66.
For over a year now TSMP has maintained the pretence of being bigger than it is by including fake ‘International Offices’ (addresses & phone numbers) on its website.

* The Social Media People’s lies have been ‘outed’ on several occasions, and it made changes to ‘dress up the lie’.
* ASA has investigated before, & changes were made. TSMP wouldn’t want to risk any more judgements against them by ASA.
* TSMP revamped its website last November, and ADDED new lies to these preposterous claims – by newly including Canada and Spain in its ‘International Locations’ map/addresses. (See attached.)
* Now, having been yet again exposed as liars, TSMP has withdrawn the pretence of the fake offices, by just showing that from certain countries it can be contacted – by postal a letter to Manchester, UK. (See attached.)

And the funny thing is that although TSMP can be contacted from anywhere in the world by letter to Manchester, M1 2WX; if you’re in the UK the company STILL asks to be contacted at its PO Box in London. (AND the address shown is also FAKE, as the PO Box isn’t on Great Portland Street)

The Social Media People/Net66 - Tossers! - Dishonest tossers!

Net66 Closing Down? (See attached image.) The Social Media People

The world would be a better place if this was true! This is what Net66 had on its website on/around 17 March 2012.
But even in that short announcement there’s a problem:
If a company is supplying SEO and advertising services, both of which require a continuing input from the supplier to be of any value, how could they sell the service - AND provide/maintain it when they’d shut-up shop?

The Social Media People/Net66 – No honesty. No integrity. No ethics. No accuracy. Cheat their customers.
