Toplevelpr - Kickrank

stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full
I used Kickrank after a suggestion by crowdfundingmasterminds.com/Crowdfunding Center Organization/Crowdfunding Center who sent me an email. Part of the email below. I only after working with Kickrank, decided to have a closer look at how they got my email address as I never subscribed to their website (nobody will, check it out). I then searched for information behind all parties they listed as top ranked. All three of them are scams... I sadly discovered it too late. Start of scammer's email: "This week the Crowdfund Mastermind Group reviewed some of the biggest crowdfund marketing services and scored them based on member input, info available online, ease of use, cost, and targeting methods used. These reviews were also compiled from our own crowdfunding community polls, which was based on their own experiences with the following services and their feedback. "end of scammers email intro". They give story about Kickrank having a great reputation online for getting results. Which reputation? Where? If I would have only find out before... After signing up with Kickrank, the guys were nice: I received a follow up email, and they promised the press release to be ready the day after, which took them 3 days at the end. It went downwards after that. Nothing they promise on their website has anything of value. Except that they do back my campaign for a small amount, so I at least get that part back. But that is it. They use low quality press release sharing, their "top backlinks" are only Fiverr bought fake bot links (I had Google Analytics running at the same time, which I did not tell them), ... Kickrank is a ripoff. They offer 'services' and will deliver you 'something', but non of it has any value. Given, the press release was ok written, not worth close to 600 USD! All the rest was bullocks.

Beware of the toplevelpr scam!!

TopLevelPR IS A SCAM!!!! BE WARNED!!! STAY FAR AWAY FROM THESE THIEVES!!! I was also scammed by these guys. I hired toplevelpr = Crowd PR Guru for my crowdfunding campaign and they have delivered nothing but 2 random blog posts about my campaign. Not only that, but after taking my payment, they ignored several of my e-mails and phone calls about the campaign, and are refusing to give me a refund. Still waiting for someone on their team to behave like a professional and face this issue like any other reputable organization. Be aware of this company's unprofessional conduct.

TopLevelPr = CrowdChirp = Buzztilt = crowdfundsocial = TurnkeyPr. Be careful, they use different names and websites to lure you into ordering their services, but they are all the same scam! Burn your money if your like, but do not work with a scam like this !!

This poster is correct. I also hired them for my kickstarter campaign and they did the exact same thing, two meaningless blog posts and nothing else.

They are definitely a scam and provide zero benefit to your campaign, so save your money.

After you pay them and send them an email to ask for any updates, they're short and rude in their response. Avoid them and avoid all the other scam companies you will get spam emails from if you launch a crowdfunding campaign, I used pretty much all of crowdfunding companies to try and get traffic to my campaign and they were all utterly useless.

TopLevelPr is also connected to CrowdfundSocial, I had a guy named Andrew contact me from crowdfundsocial and they're completely useless as well since toplevelpr and crowdfundsocial appear to be one in the same.

They are all scams, be smart and don't give your money to them.

TOPLEVELPR = CrowdPrGuru = stealing from Indiegogo campaigns

stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full
I attempted to use toplevelpr (crowd PR guru) two weeks into my campaign, they said that it was ok to pay half upfront and the rest at the end of the Indiegogo campaign. So we did so, they said that they were the best in the business and that they didn't just send out press releases but they pitch the story to their contacts. Two weeks passed and no updates and no movement on our side. They claim that they are results driven, when the sites they put you on are fake dormant sites that they've either created or one of their associates have. They send out templates, and are very nonchalant (I know this because one of their colleagues mistakenly sent me an email about another client, and the "pitch" was exactly like ours) This company is a complete utter scam! I'll strongly advise ANYONE that's been approached via their Kickstarter or Indiegogo not to go with them or use them at all! I know that you don't have the money to lose, especially when you are raising funds for your project. Note: I filed a complaint at my bank, and requested a refund. I got my money back. Do the same, Toplevelpr will threaten you, but they stand no chance! Add all information you find online about their scam, and you will be winning!
