Crowd.PR, Beyondbuzz, Crowdfundclick Review — Warning it’s a Scam. If you’ve recently been contacted by a “William Henry” (or any of his other aliases he goes) and are looking for crowd.pr review — avoid them all at all costs. Here’s the truth- it’s a scam. One of a long line of his latest scams that have gone by the names of crowdpr.co, Top Level PR, BeyondBuzz, First Wave PR, Crowd PR Guru, CrowdfundClicks, CrowdfundSocial, PRKick, and on and on and on they go. Rebranding and changing their name everytime they get caught. Same old song and dance. Here’s the deal, once you launch a campaign you’ll be immediately bombarded by tons of emails from this company claiming they are the best in the world and on and on. They put on a slick sales pitch but don’t be fooled like I was. They’ll take thousands of dollars from you and will not do a single thing after your campaign has concluded. Want to know why? It’s a scam. Everything from their ‘supposed’ location in San Francisco and Los Angeles to their claims they’ve been in crowdfunding since 2015 (they only registered their domain with their new scam name a few months ago in 2017). Here’s their address they claim to be located at 18 Bartol St, San Francisco, CA 94133. Want to know the truth about their office. Just like them, it doesn’t exist because it’s a virtual office that anyone can pay a few dollars a month and claim it as their mailing address. There’s no physical office space. Why need an office when you can simply wire some money and don’t need to actually do any work afterwards? Fake review / fake testimonials, everything is a well oiled maching to believe you’re getting a top notch service when really you’re just being schemed to hand over your cash with nothing in return. I’m the not only who’s caught on to Crowd PR, toplevelpr and beyondbuzz and their lies. Here’s a few other crowdfunders who also got ripped off. I’ve searched the Internet and found many, many others who have lost a ton of money to these guys: https://www.articleavenue.com/crowdpr-beyondbuzz-review/ http://www.thenewestrant.com/2015/06/attention-anyone-doing-crowdfunding.html https://www.ripoffreport.com/reports/crowdpr-crowdpr/miami-florida/crowdpr-crowdpr-crowd-pr-review-and-scam-miami-florida-141**** https://www.reddit.com/r/kickstarter/comments/7ma47k/crowd_pr_crowdpr_review_latest_crowdfunding_scam/ http://www.kickstarterforum.org/viewtopic.php?f=4&t=7814&p=38051 https://www.ripoffreport.com/reports/crowd-pr/san-francisco-california-94105/crowd-pr-wwwcrowdprcrowd-pr-llcwilliam-henry-scammed-me-out-of-1000-san-francisco-c-141**** https://www.ripoffreport.com/reports/crowdprco-kyle-staebell-taylor-andrews-steven-andrews/internet/crowdprco-is-a-scam-kyle-staebell-taylor-andrews-steven-andrews-are-criminals-and-sca-136**** http://www.thenewestrant.com/2015/06/attention-anyone-doing-crowdfunding.html https://www.articleavenue.com/crowdfundclicks-crowdpr-and-gogoboosters-scam/ http://crowdfundingforum.com/showthread.php/12490-BEWARE-of-quot-Crowd-PR-guru-quot-SCAM-SCAM-SCAM!/page7?s=6c6c7f20aa5cd71ac62a70d44cd272f5 — Complaint after complaint after complaint. Don’t fall victim to these scammers. You will never see your money again and only be kicking yourself that you didn’t do proper research on what these guys are really up to. And if that’s not enough, you can search any of their older names to see just how many crowdfunders they’ve ripped off throughout the years. Save yourself the grief and the money. Crowd.pr is up to no good, spoiling what should otherwise be a pleasant crowdfunding experience. Avoid at all costs. The fix is in when it comes to crowd.pr. A quick sales pitch, a wire transfer of a few thousand dollars and then *poof* they’re gone. Ignoring emails and when you question them they’ll just bash you and your product as incompetent- deflecting all blame when these crooks haven’t accomplished a single thing. Their case studies they claim are fraudulent and everything about them is a lie. Trust your gut and Avoid that pit in the the stomach feeling when you realize you’ve been taken. They’ve been at this for years. Don’t be their latest victim.
Same situation at Agency 20. They are the exact same company or at least owned by the same people.
If you call the 800 numbers after hours you will even get the same girl answering the phone for Buzz and Agency 20.
They also have the same address listed at the bottom of their proposals. I think they started Buzz a couple years ago because their main agency is still entangled in a major legal dispute with some of their former clients, check it out: https://www.crowdfundinsider.com/2015/04/66397-agency-2-0-comments-on-lawsuit-filed-against-sondors-ebike-2nd-largest-indiegogo-crowdfunding-campaign-ever/
Beyond Buff is a fraud attempting to drain money from startups. Stay away as they want a minimum of $10,000 to talk and that BS you can get for nothing.
NOTE: It has been determined that these "reviews" have been posted by a competing marketing agency. They are written to maximize their SEO presence on Google search ranking in order to damage the company named in these reports. The accuracy or truthfulness of these reviews should be highly questioned by the reader.
Sorry to hear that. Beyond Buzz = TopLevelPR = many other names.
They are not based on LA, or have a real company. They, of course, never worked with SharkTank. Not even with the campaigns they claim on their website.Their team pictures are fakes (stolen).The domain was bought last year, it was a promotion site for beyondbuzz book - NOT their "agency".The http://crowdfundusa.org ad they run = their own site. No real posts, fake comparison and, of course, Beyond Buzz being the winning "agency".
You got scammed.And they, of course, did not run Facebook ads for your campaign.
Not one. They did steal your money.
