Firehouse Promotions Fire Safety Magnets Advertising Ripoff Con Moline Illinois

This company claims to be affiliated with the local fire houses in the neighborhood that your company is located and that the firehouses will distribute the laminated boards to the type of clients you service during demonstrations or events.

I visited all the firehouses in the area they claimed they were going to distributed their advertisement and no firehouse had any knowledge of being affiliated with any such advertising.

Firehouse promotions claims that the project takes up to six months to put together before you even get to see the magnet board, well I had to call to find out when I was going to receive my board.  They ask you for other businesses in your area so they can say that you are advertising with them why not join on the same board. You receive the card and then you find out that there are only two other advertisers, when they said that you needed to rush because there are only 4 spaces to fill and other people want to advertise with them.

When you agreed to advertise they have strict deadlines so they can charge your credit card quickly. Don't try to go bacl on your order because there is no one you can speak to in customer service.  They can only deal with problems by email because the administrator is deaf and cannot speak with any one over the phone.

I went the extra step to call the other people that were on my magnet board and they do not take calls, only led me to believe that they are in on the scam or that Firehouse Promotions took pictures from the internet web sites to put together the 10 magnet boards that they send you when the project is ready.  By the way, the reason the project takes 4 or more months is so the charge card company does not debit their account if the problem is reported 6 months down the line.

These guys have some team ripping people off for $700.00 a pop.  Don't advertise or become a victim of their scam!
