I've been using VS for the last few months as it seems to bring me good enquiries in my home city. (I still filter the calls through an old burner phone tho.)
This week they sent me a text about Black Friday deals but you had to call or whatsapp them to get it. I duly Whatsapped. The person I spoke with then quoted me a HIGHER price than I would normally pay! Then just disappeared when I questioned it.
It’s a mobile number right. It looks like a text from Viva but it’s not. I’ve had loads of them, either claiming to be promotions, or saying my ad will run out in X amount of time (when it’s always run out anyway). I tried calling it once, it rang and rang, no one picked up and if I remember rightly not even a proper VM message.
It’s some kind of scam I think, don’t know how or why, but Viva always emails as far as I know and their number is a landline.
I did report it on Client Eye and tried to report it here under warnings but I guess that’s just for bad punters.
