Justdial.com / Just Dial - Review of a fraud company

Dear friends,

I am writing this article particularly to make everyone alert to the fact; how so called, famous and reputed company is duping the customers and their hard earned money?

Here is my experience with a great fraud and cheat company justdial.com

My wife own a woman's beauty parlour in Kolkata. The name of the parlor is Camellia Women's Herbal beauty Parlour. It is quite reputed and in the business for about 15 years. One day she get a call from the Just Dial company. They need an appointment for a business proposal. She gave the appointment and a salesman of that company came to visit her.

The proposal was like that, they will provide business leads one to two each day for one year. The leads will be from the customers who enquire them about the services she provide at her beauty salon. Each lead will cost Rs. 50 and the contract will be for one year. The total cost will be Rs. 10000 + taxes. According to them the leads will be from the customers who are asking the specific services and from the area of about 2 km radius from her business location.

That sounded fine to her. She believed that person and paid him about Rs. 12000 for the contract.

Within a few days lead started to come in her mobile as well as in her mail box. To her utter surprise she found all such leads were rubbish. None of them were interested in the service related to her business and when someone is interested, they are from miles away from her business site and it is absurd for them to come to her salon. Useless leads even came in the late night!

They were just sending the phone numbers from their databases randomly to her and claiming Rs 50 for each lead.The same lead they send to many poor business owners, who believed them! She enquired many of them but none of them never heard the name of her beauty parlour and neither they need any related services. What a business! What a brilliant idea to make money by cheating!

On the contrary, the en-queries she receive regularly from her website from Kolkata and even abroad, turns 100% into business deals. This again proves that justdial was not honest in sending the leads.

She wrote mail and informed them on phone repeatedly but as usual with no reply from them! The same drama continued for one year. She did not get a single customer from just dial in one year!

Though she has lost her hard earned money with a very bitter lesson; after one year the story has not ended. They are calling her repeatedly and sending mails to renew her account.

One major mistake she did that she did not search for the reviews of the just dial in google. After being cheated, when she searched, she found lots of same stories there about this company in internet and not a single positive review can be found about Just dial!

Members this is an alert to you all ....don't get duped by the sweet promises by any company, however big they may claim themselves. Before paying money write the "company name and review" and hit the search button on google. You should go for any deal if you find at least more than 50% positive response from the netizens. I sincerely hope that this article will help many innocent business owner to make their decision in right way.
