Scam Description
Company I hired for marketing online, had very fraudulent sales practices. The company is Mint CRO (get.mintcro.com). They led me
to believe that they could sell my products with high cost marketing. “We can charge this much because of the results we get.” I
asked so many questions, met with multiple sales people who assured me that they could sell my product, I may need to rework it or
shift my audience, but they could sell it. I kept asking, in the time frame I had? and with the budget I had? They assured me they
could do it. I asked if they would shift process if it wasn’t working part way to my 3 month limit, they agreed. They had a contract for
us to sign laying out the services. I did sign it, I know it said no guarantee, but I trusted their word. They said they would get me sales
and communicate if they weren’t getting there in the budget we had. After 3 months, I had invested a total of $37,000 and they didn’t
get me one single sale. All through the last 6 weeks of meetings I kept raising red flags. Maybe we should try a different audience,
maybe we need to sell something smaller first, offering suggestion after suggestion. No, they didn’t care. They said at that point, after
I had spent way more money than I had to spend, that they told me it would be a minimum of 6 months. I would never had agreed to
that. I told them I had money to fund about 3 months. They just had a final meeting and walked away. They delivered me terrible
assets for my business that are poor quality and won’t serve me in any way. They just walked away saying “there was no guarantee”.
They ruined my business, I drained my retirement trying to get a viable business off the ground with them. They told me they could
help me sell and scale. They went over extensive examples and reports showing me how much we would make, how it would work.
Then they got me a ZERO return on investment and they just claimed I didn’t pay them “long” enough. I was already well beyond my
limit and they knew that. They just wanted me to keep pumping in over $7000 to them and in ad spend “with no guarantee”. This was
the worst investment I have ever made and I want other small business owners to never make this same mistake of being scammed
by Mint CRO. They should not be in business.
