Russell Wallace has now opened the doors for the 4th time in 3 1/2 years to his new company name...29 prime! Russell has a track record of being a fly by night and operating scam telemarketing operations for local SEO. Check out reliable listing, ilocal sem, your local merchant and now 29 prime. The facts are all there for everyone to see and believe me, there are enough to keep you busy and want to stay away from this scum. He feels the way to operate a business is to sign up as many clients as Forrest(sales closer) can sell with an agreement for a minimum of 3 months off of there press 1 campaign that hits nationwide claiming they are google's 411 service calling to update your profile. Since they know they won't be able to do anything for you, Russell has learned from his failures that if he has a signed contract with 3 months, he can charge you. If his tele scam boiler room can pump out sales each week...you can see how Russell banks on several clients a month for a minimum of 3 months of payment. He has scammed employees out of money by his midnight move tactics and destroyed the market for small business owners on front page placement. This is not a competitor nor an ex employee...what i have provided here are nothing more than FACTS that can be viewed by typing in the ex companies he has constructed. Attorney generals have received several complaints and get a kick out of this clown...like any scam telemarketing operation, they all get about 4-6 years of destroying peoples lives before they are shut down. You cant operate under deceptive business practices with this kind of lack on integrity and stay out of the spotlight...buyer beware!!! Do your research before paying to have your online profile managed!! There are some ethical companies that have been in business for years under the same name!! Again i repeat...what has been presented here is FACT. Russell Wallace, Forrest Blackburn and 29 prime...scammers at it again under new name and scamming the marketplace.

They use illegal telemarketing practices. I received an automated telemarketing call from 405-283-8500.

They represent themselves to be Google and then once they bait their victims, they charge big money for Google's free Places listing service.

Your statements are good and seem accurate from what I've been able to research, there are also a bunch of great reviews too, but I remain skeptical at best. Out in NJ I've seen my share of scam-by-night companies so it doesn't take many slanted sales people to get false reviews placed.
29 Prime has a series of duplicate websites that they sell to companies to "improve Google local listings" that are all hosted on the same server. All websites are stored on the same exact server (http://media.29prime.com/), regardless of the industry. They make 'profiles' on this site and mask the URL, making it seem like it's a custom website, when it's really just a duplicate template. They basically make something similar to a Myspace profile, sell it with promises of increasing SEO, and these pages never obtain Google PageRank - they are banned from Google. That's when they stop answering your calls and you get put through the ringer. THIS IS THE TRUTH ABOUT 29 PRIME:

The business reputation hurt so much that you had to change names how many times? Also you don't want to pay employees and keep getting in trouble with the labor board so now to fix both problems you just have people resell under their own business names and affiliate sites in hopes to ruin their names and not yours?....
Everyone trust me these guys are scam artists! Sales people beware it is a horrible job selling a scam product and hurting companies for no pay.... and customers beware they do not accomplish what they set out to do, which is the saddest part because REGISTERING FOR GOOGLE LOCAL IS FREE AND TAKES 5 MINUTES!!!!!!! These guys setup a crappy fake page and register your Google Local account to that (if they do anything at all), why ? So that if you do cancel they can pull what you paid them to do! Google Listings are easy to setup, you can do it in minutes for free and that's it, no reoccurring fees or work!!!
They will call pretending to be Google, and now have so many resellers it is hard to keep track. Below are 2 links one explaining this scam company and the other just a listing of all of the fake names that we try to update regularly. There are so many resellers and these guys change their names so often (because reviews and complaints from real customers). Just do not sign up with any SEO person cold calling you and guaranteeing results for 200 a month! If they really had a good service companies would be fighting to be one of the clients for that industry and they would not be cold calling and annoying everyone like this! Just google "reliable places complaints" or "reliable places reviews" or "29 prime complaints" "29 prime scams" etc. Go check Yelp!
http://beware29prime.wordpress.com/ Site dedicated to helping expose these scammers, show clients how to get around that terms of service to get a refund, and how to get their sites listed for FREE! Also if your site was hijacked we will show you how to get it back and away from these con men!

They got me for $199.00 so far ?!?!
Any way to get my money back?
was it "client services agent"?

Yes, I did a little research on Bee Visible Marketing before I made a decision and there are no bad reviews or negative statements on this company, only positive reviews.
After they took my CC info and provided with an account number, I was told I would be getting a call before the end of the day from one of their account executives to set up my account. Within a half hour, $378.00 was debited from my CC, TWO Times, listed as 29 Prime. I Googled 29 Prime, to only see hundreds of scam reviews and tons of complaints on this company! I called BEE VISIBLE back to ask them to cancel my account and refund not just one charge but both charges of $378.00 and I got hung up on! WOW, how the do these people sleep at night. Karma has to come back eventually, I'm hoping!
