Lost $180 to a fake 'cancel insurance' service after a viral tweet, still waiting on a refund
Back in March a small business owner I follow got dragged online over an old post, and some outfit started selling what they called cancel insurance for $60 a month. I run a two person lawn care outfit in Dayton and got worried, so I signed up for 3 months. The forums and the sample press releases they showed me turned out to be copy paste templates, and when I tried to file a claim after a bad review thread they just stopped replying. I checked and the company is registered to a PO box in Cheyenne that lists 40 other LLCs. $180 is gone and I've got nothing but a PDF that says my claim is under review. Has anyone dealt with a real crisis PR person, and what did they actually charge you?
