    Over the course of the last year, I have unsubscribed from Adverx emails. The company continues to send me emails regardless of the amount of times I have unsubscribed. In doing so, the company willing operates in violation of federal SPAM laws. I responded to them today to have them remove me from their list as their "unsubscribe" is purely for show. Their response was to then send me additional emails. My email tracks who opens it and I have electronic records of them receiving the email and opening it, to then only send me additional emails. Whether this was to be comical on their end or if federal laws are unimportant to them is unclear. The company willing violates law and does so happily.

    Where to start? They put my card on an auto pay without my authorization after 11 of 12 payments on my contract. I am now working with my bank to block them after seeing other reviews of them charging after the contract was complete. One review on here shows they refunded 1 payment out of multiple they collected. My wife was diagnosed with breast cancer last year and I had told the rep that I was glad our campaign was coming to an end to be able to keep extra money in our accounts just in case the medical bills were high. The rep never said that I needed to hurry up to cancel our campaign with it having an auto renew for the same contract length that we were currently in. Unfortunately the original contract was a year and when I asked her about the auto-renew once it renewed I was told if I didn't pay it we would face collections and our credit would be hit with going against a contract. This was also coupled with months of multiple emails before our original year contract ending of us complaint that adwerx did not bring any clients or value to our company. We are now two years in with this worthless company equalling $32400. If you ask them why you haven't received 1 lead they will tell you that they are not a lead company but a brand recognition company. At $32400 in brand recognition your money is wasted if you don't receive calls. Next after being held captive by adwerx for an additional 12 months I have requested calls from their legal department with no response. The rep was fired after months into my current contract without a new rep calling me. They still cc *********** on my invoices even though they were fired. I only found out they were fired after emails asking to fix my account. My ads were messed up for months without any compensation to fix them. Literally nothing good to say about this company. Adwerx responds to every complaint on here to keep their rating of A+ on BBB which makes the A+ rating for this company a joke.
