Pushtraffic nightmare - conclusion

The Pushtraffic formula:

poorservice@highprice.com

Bet that formula packs in the buyers?

If you read the previous posts on the subject, you will know by now that PT is right down at the bottom of the heap, in terms of business practices and corporate ethics. In fact, the LA BBB rates them an F- for Fail.
That puts them in the company of shady operators, fly-by-night bizops, last-stand used car salesmen peddling jalopies in a parking lot. A bit below thousands of E-bay small businesses in terms of credibility. But without a warranty.

A few internet desperadoes work for JPR, and you would have to ask: why?
If these guys are really as good as their own boasts, why are they working for a third-rate outfit?

PT rips people off.
But can a firm that duds its customers last?

More than a few of those customers are real angry now, and heading to the Attorney General.

How does PT survive?
The only item that stands between PT and its liquidation is the standard contract peddled by its unscrupulous salesmen to unsuspecting, trusting clients.
The statutory right to rescind in 3 days is not a corporate concession: it is a standard Californian contract rule.
Those PT lawyers who must have constructed this devious masterpiece never had consumer rights in mind.
If you do not understand their evil contract, you definitely are well advised not to sign it.
Unfamiliar as I am with Californian contract law, it is unclear how easy it would be to get all these contracts annulled in court, but JPRaygoza will soon be given the chance to find out.
Could be an expensive lesson for the whole shebang.

Let us summarise Pushtraffic Inc. by pointing out:
  • This firm makes promises it does not, and cannot deliver on.
  • It fails to answer customer complaints.
  • It goes out of its way to repudiate the promises made by their salesmen.
  • Once you get in there, you will come up against a wall of frustration and incompetence.
  • it resists refunds
They do not bother to answer frequent questions about deficiencies, and very rarely bother to respond to complaints from customers. Pushtraffic's complaints desk is the busiest part of the outfit, or would be if they actually did anything. (I guess the whole PT org is one big complaints desk. That is one activity that keeps them busy, when they are not peddling phony services.)

It is a wonder that they even bother to answer the phones; they often do not.
PT's laughable customer service manager might as well sleep all day, for all the use he is.
An inmate in Alcatraz would be offended by that standard of customer service.

But that is what their paying customers get: lousy service.

The Bloody Contract.

So, you are a customer, are you?
If you get the CEO involved in your grievance, you will only be told you signed a contract.
Boy, are these contracts dangerous.

According to Pushtraffic's CEO, you signed a contract to pay him money.
$1000, $2000, $8000, $15000, whatever.
But he does not have to deliver ANYTHING!
Whatever they dish out is a matter of their discretion and convenience. That is the contract, or their reading of it.
The only difference between their $1500 service and their $15000 service is the amount they extracted from you. Either way, you probably get NOTHING.

A contract to steal is legal in California, is it?

If you find all this appalling, you are not alone.


For an internet entrepreneur, 'investing' into PT is about as prudent as buying housing land in a malarial swamp.
If the risky idea excites you, go ahead.
But if you place value on your savings, stay well way from 700 South Flower Street, LA.

    Here we are and this accursed firm, Pushtraffic, is still in business.
    But the chickens will come home to roost, soon.
    Those clients who have been wronged are getting together to slam Pushtraffic and Raygoza as hard as the law lets us. The Police are interested, too, and that is a fact.
    Pushtraffic is the worst US firm I ever dealt with and I want to see them put out of business.
    Wishing RAygoza Rat an eventful year, I say: watch out.
