Earlier this year I learned that one of my customers paid for his advertising with a credit card that didn't actually belong to him.

Last fall, another customer skipped out on her bill with us, as well as her lease with her business space in the middle of the night.

So late this afternoon, I get a call from some gal who said she was a former NY coroner, MD and is starting a practice as a "couples sex therapist" in the rinkydink town of Auburndale.  All the while she was on the phone with me she was sucking off a ciggarette and behaving like no "therapist" I've ever encountered.
So I'm setting her up in our database as a customer and she's going to be running this "business" out of her ... get this... "Apartment..Oh I mean Suite number 102."

Oh and she needed to ask some dude in the backgrond if she had the building number right, or just chat.  

Sounded like a rode hard and put away wet kinda gal.  Maybe I'm just being over judgemental, but something doesn't sit right with whole thing.

What do you guys think?

Send Her Away Fast !!!

Do Not Run The Other Way !!!

Send HER Flying into Oblivion !!!

No One Needs Her Kind Around !!!

Too Harsh ?

Really ?

Sending her a One Way Ticket to Reality, is being as Kind as We Can Be !

Shining Wolf

There in lays the trouble.  I'm not allowed to refuse to place ads for people unless the copy doesn't comply with corporate standards, and I haven't seen any copy material as of yet.

In addition to this, they will find some "spin" to get even questionable ads to run, but that is part of the US "free commerce" way of doing things.  If it's revenue it's revenue.

I just wonder why I"M the one that these crack pots find and gravitate to?

Perhaps its not just you, EarthMother.  There are so many dishonest people in the world now that I'm pretty sure others are experiencing the same issues you are.  But, then again, you never know.  Maybe the woman really IS on the up and up and all will go well with her.

To be totally honest, I'm the Rep who seems to attract the loonies.  We are all listed on the website, and those who call in to me seem to be the really odd ducks.  Maybe being first on the list doesn't help.

I just want this to stop before it starts.

It doesn't smell right.

I say go with your gut feelings. If it's not right then it's not.


Second, time to stop thinking about the loons and think of the real worth while custumers. Remember what you put out is what you attracted.

It doesn't smell right.

If your company has rules about you turning her away discuss the case with your boss and voice your concerns.  Maybe he or she can bend the rules if her or she agrees that something isn't right.
