dayglo -> Web Awards (6/19/2001 23:20:00)
|
This is a word of warning about two companies. www.iawmd.com (International Association of Web Masters and Designers and their other company www.goldenwebawards.com
I received an email out of the blue suggesting I submit my site for a golden web award, totally free, hightly thought of company etc etc. So for fun I did, thought I would at least get profession comments about what was wrong with my site. 7 days later email saying I had won an award. Yipee. You can also join their organisation (bells ringing) special price for award winner reduced from something line$70 to $30. What they had to offer for that quite appealed to me and was prepared to risk the money if products etc then were no good. Paid my money, got email confirmation. Went to members site, couldnt log in. wasnt ever given login details. Emailed, got sent login which didnt work, in fact message came up that I wasnt even in their database. Three days and three emails later, still no response. Send stronger email saying if they dont send workable login or give me my money back I would broadcast that they were a bogus company wherever I could. Within 12 hours a workable login was sent together with annoyance that I had called them bogus. I was still unhappy about them. I had purchased a domain name and had done nothing with it, not even a biz card. Submitting that site for an award. Guess what, this morning I was notified that my non-existent site had just won a Golden Web Award. So next tim I upload I am removing their award graphic from my site, I feel like leaving it there but posting a warning, but not knowing what legal trouble I could get into I wont.so this is the warning, stay away from them, they ARE bogus.
