Has anyone been approached by e medical online?
Please forgive me if I have totally got this one wrong........ but 2 days ago I was approached by them out of the blue, they wanted to include me on their website as a small business who would provide a first aid training service to the GP practices within my county (200 apparently) they sounded very genuine and knowledgeable about the GP's funding their own training etc. I knew there had to be a catch and it came when they said it would cost me £250, they failed to mention the VAT.... £300 was written on the invoice.
They quickly copied some of the text from my web page to include on their own, job done, £300 please Kev.
I decided to check out 3 companies that were advertised on their website to see if they had indeed volunteered to bo included, or was this actually a scam or what. Of the 3 companies contacted, 1 was a wrong number, 2 had indeed paid the money to advertise, they had been on their webpage for over 1 year and neither had received a single phone call from the GP's, NHS or anyone for some work, and both companies felt terribly let down and were refusing to renew their subscription as it is an annual fee.
I feel as if it is a scam (my personal opinion) so have refused to pay and have asked to be withdrawn from their webpage. I have only posted this to see if anyone else is of the same opinion, or have I totally got it wrong. Has anyone or company actually made any money from their advert?
