Rip-off Report Investigation:

Editor’s UPDATE:

Rip-off Report Investigation - ZipWeb is a credible internet marketing firm dedicated to serving their clients needs. The investigation by Ripoff Report determined that the allegations leveled against ZipWeb were simple misconceptions about ZipWeb’s services that have since been remedied. ZipWeb contacted Rip-off Report and asked us to check into this matter and check into the history of their company. Rip-off Report found the company to be reputable and sincerely committed to doing whatever it takes to make their clients "happy, satisfied customers"…

Positive Rating and Recognition has been given to ZipWeb for its Commitment to Excellence in customer service.

Rip-off Report’s investigation of Zip Web confirms that the company is committed to providing total client satisfaction. Although the problems investigated primarily stemmed from misunderstandings in the billing area caused in part by the company’s policies, ZipWeb has pledged to always work towards finding a mutually satisfactory resolution to any complaints or concerns and has taken steps to fix those breakdowns. ZipWeb listens carefully to client concerns and sees them as an opportunity to learn from them to become more transparent as a company, while elevating the value and reputation of its products, as well as its customer service department.

A management representative conveyed to Rip-off Report that ZipWeb’s mission is to help local businesses stay competitive in today’s ever changing world of internet marketing. One essential part of this value proposition is trust in ZipWeb’s methodologies, policies and business practices. "Naturally, this means that if there is any possibility that what we do or how we do it is misconstrued in any way, we will take measures not only to correct it, but to make sure that each and every client affected is fully satisfied in its resolution."

Rip-off Report has confirmed that ZipWeb takes customer satisfaction very seriously. ZipWeb has recently put significant effort into implementing more effective communication strategies to better set expectations of not only value of service, but operational methodologies as well. To complement this initiative, ZipWeb has also re-trained its customer support team to better deal with concerns or questions of this nature. Rip-off Report was pleased to learn that the company’s past and current approach to business is focused on its pledge to total commitment towards client satisfaction.

ZipWeb recognizes that complaints posted on Rip-off Report (true or not) are issues that need to be addressed and if handled correctly can be valuable learning opportunities. With the feedback generated by Rip-off Report’s Investigation ZipWeb has made organizational changes to better communicate and set proper expectations with their clients, leading to a more transparent approach to problem resolution and a total overall commitment to customer experience.

In summary, after our investigation, which included discussions with ZipWeb Senior Management, Rip-off Report is convinced that the company has been and remains committed to quality delivery of services resulting in total customer satisfaction.

===================== NOW TO THE ORIGINAL REPORT THAT WAS FILED

===================== USABD Zip Web USABD Billing Fraud Encino Internet

Similar to other reports filed on this site concerning USABD, this company aggressively tried to solicit our business over the phone to provide internet specialists that would make our business visible on the web. We own a franchise so our website is corporately run and managed from headquarters. We have no use for their claimed service. We declined multiple times.

However, a $49.95 charge appeared on one of our phonelines for two months. Unfortunately, ATT allows third parties to charge through their billing service, so USABD's charges appear to be integral with the legitimate ATT bill. It's hard to spot the rip-off unless you are diligent and detailed about checking your phone bill.

I called USABD's "questions?" number several times to cancel but they don't answer. I called ATT and they are willing to credit me for two months, but they cannot block these charges - according to ATT only USABD can stop charging me.

I called the Nevada Attorney General's office and spoke to the Consumer Complaints representative. This is called "cramming". They will send me a complaint form. I will mail it back and they will contact USABD and tell them to stop. USABD's scam is costing me time and effort to get their bogus charges removed from our phone bill and I have still haven't reached closure. Heads-up. They appeared on our phone bill under The Billing Resource with charges applied against USABD Internet Solution Monthly Fee. Thanks to RipoffReport for helping to expose this.
