So here it is folks.
You get that message from the Silicon Valley Review – the “most trusted source of news and information for global business leaders, decision makers and professionals.”
They want to FEATURE YOU!
That should make your PR Department go atwitter. Wow! We are recognized for all that hard work we did.
Then you read down a bit and you see that it is just a total SCAM. Pay us $2,500 and we do the article.
And they are in New Jersey!
Jeez, how stupid can people be to engage with people like this.
Kind of like the TV show that calls and wants to interview you for a feature on great software leaders. Then they tell you to share part of the production costs, $1,500.
This is scammy stuff folks and it should be framed, discussed, pointed out and ridiculed:
