Stupidity Still Reigns with Vertical Advertising Services
RANT
For just a whisper of time today I thought I had encountered a vertical advertising provider for one of our clients. They called me. They could articulate a lead qualification process. They offered reasonable rates and a rational payment schedule. Could this finally be the holy grail I'd been pursing for nearly a year?
Alas, it was not.
This company apparently has no mechanism for secure payments, on or offline. Trust us, they say. We're new but credible. Only one person has access to your credit card data, and it's kept locked up in a vault. Are you kidding me?
If this is a legitimate company, they have idiots for a management team. If it's a scam, they're idiots.
Thus, my quest continues.
