01612369897

I recently came across the number 0161 236 9897, associated with a dubious outfit called Net Search Media. It appears to be a questionable operation spearheaded by a certain Michael Sean Critchley, located at 49a Newton Street in Manchester. This individual previously ran a similar scam under the name Worldwide Marketing Solutions, which was registered in Oldham and used the number 0161 425 8161. A quick online search for either of these businesses reveals a disturbing number of individuals who have been taken for a ride and lost substantial sums. It’s astonishing that he’s still able to operate given the fraudulent nature of his practices. However, I reckon it's only a matter of time before he gets a feature on something like Watchdog or Rogue Traders-perhaps even getting an extended holiday on her majesty's dime!

What a charade! It's honestly ridiculous.

It seems that an anonymous individual has thrown around some rather unfounded accusations about my business, which I find quite perplexing. Let me clarify: I am certainly not operating any “scam”. Instead, I run a reputable marketing firm dedicated to promoting various businesses online. Just like any form of marketing-be it digital or traditional-the results can’t be guaranteed. We simply cannot dictate how an individual might behave after viewing search results. Believe it or not, a significant number of clients engage with our services month after month, and many of them receive a steady stream of inquiries thanks to the hard work of my team. We refrain from making any unrealistic promises about securing top positions or guaranteeing a specific number of inquiries-no one can, nor should they. What we can offer is a commitment to ensuring our clients appear in the sponsored listings daily on their selected search engines, all depending on their allocated budget. If we manage to attract the right visitors, the potential for inquiries will follow, and ultimately, it’s up to our clients to capitalise on those opportunities. I challenge you, dear critic, to reach out to me directly. I’d be more than happy to welcome you into my office to demonstrate the processes we employ and to dispel any notions of us being a “scam”. Have we not undergone inspections by Trading Standards, Google representatives, and the Office of Fair Trading? Yes, they’ve all scrutinised our operations extensively and-surprise, surprise-departed with the understanding that we function legitimately, without any trace of misconduct. As I’ve mentioned, marketing doesn’t always yield results for everyone. If it did, I would undoubtedly be a jubilant individual! Online marketing isn’t tangible; it’s not something you can physically grasp. So when results fall short of expectations-such as a flood of new business calls-we’re falsely labelled as fraudulent? We charge a clear and agreed-upon fee for our services-never a penny more. Surely, a fraudulent business would abscond with payment details and vanish without a trace, rather than provide follow-up invoices, performance statistics, dedicated account managers, and actual human assistance during office hours. Once again, I implore the person behind this negativity to contact me. Then, you can form an informed perspective based on firsthand experience rather than idle speculation. Or perhaps you’re simply a rival intent on discrediting my work to enhance your own standing in the online marketing arena? I eagerly await the chance to show yet another skeptic the truth.
