Today I got an email from elocallisting:
Hello,
My account was removed from you website. Our company actually does provide a service to Photographers. There also was a somewhat negative blog on your site about our company, and I wanted the opportunity to respond. We actually have hundreds of photographers as active clients all across the country. I would appreciate it if I was given the opportunity to respond.
Sincerely,
Greg Royse
VP of Operations

Mr. Royce,
The "Negative" post was posted by me.
I personally have had at least 10 calls from your company, and I have made repeated request to be removed from your call sheet with no success. You have even used my 800 number and billed the call to me.
The facts that I related to our membership are just that, facts. Your sales person was deceptive, rude, and just outright lied.
I see other people have had the same experience as reported on
www.ripoffreport.com, and an alleged "insider" recently posted a rather unprofessional rebuttal, something to the effect that Karma is a Bitch. Post:

I don't have a problem with people making a living, but lying, and deception puts you in the ranks of a con man.
Not mention that your company does not comply with the The Federal Trade Commissions "Do Not Call List", otherwise I would have never heard from your company in the first place.
Now then, if you still feel that a rebuttal is called for I will consider posting one for you, however I will not give your firm access to our membership to further perpetrate your scheme.
