Never advertise with these people. 100% scam.

They call and claim to be from "Canadian Credit Management" which is a phony company. They are actually employed by Cedar Publishing who use deceptive practices to trick people into accepting an ad in their scam magazine. Ours was for their Missing Kids magazine which has absolutely nothing to do with Child Find Canada or any other organization and is basically just a magazine full of ads with a few pictures of missing kids. One of them is in the magazine 4 or 5 times. The money is purely ad revenue for Cedar Publishing. They tricked our receptionist into okaying the ad by telling her that they needed to verify our business information for our ad. Now they are trying to scare us into paying for this 2012 ad by claiming they are calling from a collection agency! If you get any calls from Missing Kids, Cedar Publishing, Cdn Credit Mgmt etc HANG UP IMMEDIATELY!!!

I also have been getting nasty phone calls from them and have done my research on their ads. There is no magazine and it is a scam. Calgary police have warned about these guys. If everyone effected could report their problems to the police something could be done to shut them down. I told the rude man on the phone if he could tell me where I could buy a copy or find one I would pay him. He responded that I should have thought about that before I agreed to run a ad. I'm not paying them and have blocked their number on my iPhone and will pursue police action!! Hope more will follow.

This guy has been calling repeatedly every day from a blocked number. He always asks for my colleague by his first name, pretending that it is a personal call. Naturally, it isn't. He finally admitted that it was something to do with Seniors. He asked for my colleague's cell number!!!!!!! I told him that I didn't know, and hung up. Today, he called from an unblocked number that said "Main Head Office" and this number. When I told him that he was disrupting my business he said "well you shouldn't have answered the phone, then!" and wished me (sarcastically) a nice day and hung up. It's no surprise to find he is from Cedar Publishing. They appear to be crooks, and judging from how quickly this sales rep became hostile, they appear to be hiring only the "best" people for this work. Probably ex-cons or street people who can't find work anywhere else. DO NOT DO BUSINESS WITH THIS COMPANY as their publications are not worth the paper they are printed on and you will NOT get any business from the very expensive advertisement that they want you to place. BEWARE of Cedar Publishing.

Cedar publishing will try to scare you into making payment by threatening to take you to collections. If a "collections agent" calls on their behalf, ignore it!! All it is is a person who works for cedar pretending to be from a third party collections agency. If they call, ignore and don't pay. Simple as that.

They have been calling me for months for the samething. I got a copy of the advertisement and it looks nothing like my company logo. So it was not approved but I still got billed. Anyhow now they have transferred it to some credit risk management company (smoke screen) it is the same company of some sort. Number that shows up on display is +1 877 159 1739 this is a fake i wish I knew how he does but the number she leaves (Leah is her name) is +1 888-454-3349. Total scam. They will have go beyond the ends of the earth to get money from my company

Class A scam artists!! They trick people into running an ad with them, without any proper due diligence to get a contract or written consnet. They lie that they have a 'proof', which they never produce, and which is inadmissable in a court of law and you're not supposed to record someone without their permission. I had just refused to pay an invoice for an ad they ran without my authorization, and waiting for the harrassing phone calls to start. But I'm on to them and a step ahead. I plan to file a detailed complaint report to every place possible. I don't understand how in a country that has laws, people like them and like this con artist, Moe, could be licensed to operate a business!! Why isn't he behind bars already???

Doug, you got ripped off. Think carefully, except for the copy they mailed you, have you ever seen the magazine *anywhere* else? They claim to only direct-mail them - but how would anyone know to request a copy if there is no general circulation? I'm sorry to inform you that you have been had. I'm sure Moe thanks you for your generous donation to his three million dollar house being built in castle downs...

Cedar is not, but was affiliated with Child Find. Cedar puts out a magazine with photos of kids missing all over Canada. In order to send these Magazines out for free, they need the help of advertisements. Why is this so hard to understand? Maybe pick one up and read it. Holy Man...focus your anger elsewhere...Pictures of missing kids out in the communities free is a GOOD thing.

count me in..(check out my post)!!! its absolutely ridiculous

Calling is a direct promoting technique to help network sales and profits associates and potential customers, your business with other businesses, and so forth. Even though this kind of marketing and advertising faces some resistance, there are approaches to create and keep purchasers by use of telemarketing. Additionally, you do not want shoppers looking for your product or assistance from a different company, so you will need to be memorable. Regardless of whether your Calling is for outbound calls, inbound calls, lead generation, or typical revenue, right here are a handful of approaches to utilize marketing strategies to meet your Calling wants.You should be concerned with your purchaser by taking note on how they response their calls. If they solution the cell phone by giving out their very first or very last identify, deal with them as they introduced themselves, so you don't come off as if you are studying their name off of a record.Acknowledge the name they give, no matter whether initially or very last, and you'll begin out on a much more positive note. Even so, people today really don't often answer the phone with their title. In this situation, address them by their very first and previous name - initial name only is also individual, and their total identify guarantees you sound qualified.Be memorable in a good way. Quite a few Calling sales are not produced from the first contact. Make sure to give out a return or callback amount, which includes spot code if the telephone variety spells a thing out, repeat the amount two times, once numerically, the other making use of that phrase as a memory bring about system. Also, don't pressure the buyer to get quickly by particular selling prices and pitching your sale strongly, but rather consult them what you can do for them to acquire from you when they're prepared, this will make certain that your client will have time to make the appropriate decision. Comprehend what your consumer expects, and if your products or service meets their needs, stick to by means of to supply client satisfaction. If not, it is superior to refer them elsewhere, rather than have an upset customer and high priced return or complaint later on. Letting them know the truth of the matter will make the customer content and give you credibility they may well refer you in the foreseeable future.Attempt these concepts for negotiating and establishing a relationship with who you're wanting to appeal to, regardless of no matter whether it is really a organization or individual. For instance, negotiation does not have to be a agonizing approach inquire issues which you previously know the response to - men and women are additional very likely to reveal their situation and wants with salespeople who get a personalized curiosity. Take this possibility to determine shortcomings in their plans and supplement it with how your merchandise or assistance can help. In addition, reinforce their concept to buy your merchandise or services by telling them how delighted it will make them, and give them an picture or hypothetical predicament that enables you to show that.

I'm in this pattern also for the past year with cedar puyblishing.  I'm a contractor and told them twice that I never approved nothing on this ad.. I'll like to have info from you what I can do to stop this Moe.. + they told me that if I don't pay the invoice they will send my none payment to credit bureau to have a bad score.. this is bu***hit.. Please contact me ASAP if I can also sue them.. Write me to: rickysboys at hotmail.com

Total Scam.  Doug--it is so obvious that you have some association with this company.  I received a fax out of the blue and so called the company because I did not wish to run ad (or can afford to nowadays) and I was told that someone had said yes to it and that it was irrevokable.  All the information on the ad was also wrong as we had moved.  By the end of the phone call, the incredibly rude man had pushed me to tears--telling me to get a lawyer if I don't pay the bill and calling me unprofessional.  This company is pure BS.

ALSO, had to nerve to call us AGAIN after having made me cry twice on the phone about placing another ad.

I like your style. Lisa always blockes her number when she calls me. Do you have her direct line?
