They called me. I think it's $365. for a 1/2 page. I can't handle my current workload and doubt I'd get any more anyway.

 

The Golf Connection Magazine Scam

It is a scam. Got me good. The even sent me a copy and fortunately I golf at these so called high end courses and started asking about this free mag that the golf course was handing out. Well none and I repeat that none of the course managers knew anything about it. They did find it quite humorous at my expense!

 

Kind of funny that this thread popped back up, I was cleaning out some stuff and found the first one they had sent me, I never got any work out of it and I really don't remember how much I paid, but I bet they never went to the courses. Sucks that it turned out to be a scam.

 

These guys called me as well. I'm pretty good at sniffing out chit from a salesman's pitch and I kindly denied his offer. The world is full of scammers.

 

Did they call you recently? This thread was from 2 years ago. I turned him down every time he called and he kept dropping the price, I think it was under $200 so at that point it was almost worth it to keep him from calling again.

 

Damn it... I was giving them 29.95 a year for a subscription.
Sneaky...:laughing:

 

Never trust a solicitation for an ad in a magazine or elsewhere because you can't fully confirm that they will be doing what they say they are doing

 

I got a call from them today. Did not give them a chance to even get out the price.

 

We did get calls from "Golf Mags", but we didn't move forward.
Glad we didn't :clap:

 

Hi guys I'm new to this forum. When you advertise in magazines do you write the ads yourself or hire a professional.

I've heard that a professional writer can really boost response.

Any help would be appreciated I'm a bit stumped at the moment.

 

If you are not savy, you can hire "ad copy" to do it for you.

 

Guess who called me yesterday?...:whistling

 

This is a scam

They are using my Club name as if they are representing us or that we are an advertiser. I have received dozens of complaints. It was funny that a couple of my employees got cold called on their cell phones and received the sales pitch. When one of my bartenders questioned whether or not "Maria" was affiliated with the Club, she responded "yes"...at which time my bartender said "that's funny! Because I work at the Club and have never heard of you!" Click!

DO NOT SEND ANY MONEY! This is a scam!

I am contacting the Atty General of both Arkansas and Florida to file a complaint.

 

Actually never heard of them. But looks like they would be better off catering to Big Corporations.

 

damn! i fell for the scam as well.

 

I wish I would have seen this chat before, they got me good with over $1,000 last year. They are a bunch of crooks with a fake office in Weston, FL... I already reported them to the police....

 

I guess Gulf magazine out of Saudi Arabia would net more profit.
