Fanfare Media Works, dishonest advertising scheme, bait & switch, aggressive collection tactics Valencia California

This company sells advertising in limited distribution grocery store flyers under the title: "Sports & Soaps" or some other innocuous classification. They then attempt to collect complete annual payment before even the first publication of the flyer.

The company uses a "did you read the contract?" tactic after a salesperson has made numerous verbal promises that are NOT contained in the contract. Then, they employ aggressive collection tactics and "late fees" to rapidly increase the amount they seek to collect. On top of that, the distribution of their materials is severely limited and thus, the advertising is ineffectual at best.

They quickly threaten legal action to collect if payments fall behind their aggressive schedule, and their phone collection people use strong-arm tactics and threats to attempt to collect their fee inflated balances.
