866-849-0921. Call em back and give them hell. They answer the phone. They will ask for your website to "Take" you out of the system. The hell with that flood "Michael" with some phone calls.

Meanwhile I will be pushing on some other regulatory buttons in TX and the Feds.

Got a call from Paul at this #...acted like he knew me for years....then told me he was down the street from my web designer and worked with them to analize my site...told him i wasn't interested in anything he had to sell, hung up....he called back and left a message saying..." well you just gave up a free service that is offered by your designer, so I will call them and tell them you are not interested in my help in making your website work....said good luck and hung up....so I called my designer....funny thing is, my designer didn't know he needed Paul to analize his work, thought he did a fine job from the beginning.

I didn't recognize this number, so I googled it and WOW!  This company has
called me at 1:39 PM, 1:44 PM and 1:50 PM.  They finally left a message after the third call.  I have an online business with my cell phone listed...

I have an online company. So glad I didn't answer their call. So glad I read these postings. Thanks!

This company claims to be able to put your website on the search engines with the marketing alone, and they have several packages to choose from.  This marketing tactic is used to get what ever they can from you, and then call you back and tell you that your current SMC ect website is crap, and then try to get you invested in buying the website.  Then if you don't buy the web site they tell you that you got what you paid for.  They should explain that it will cost thousands to get a web that will have alllllll the technology that will get you on the first pages of the search engines.

For direct contact you can call Warren's cell number at 1 425-275-2194

Contact the Attorney General's office and the Better Business Bureau in Washington State.  They have several complaints on this company, and the more complaints they get the better.  After they reach a certain number of complaints, they will take action.  They will not use or address complaints listed on this site or the Rip Off Report site.  These complaints must be filed and sent to the Attorney General's office where they will be reviewed in the state where the company resides.  Please take the time to call the AG and ask for those forms.  Fill them out and send them in.  I have found

This company offers to optimize your website and even build you the website.  If you read some of the complaints on ripoffreport.com, you will notice that these people were told that their technicians would do all the work.  After months passed and sometimes a year, this company then blamed the client for the problems with their website.  Tell me something, if you paid a contractor to remodel your home and spent thousands for that work, wouldn't you expect them to do the work.  These people claim to be the experts, so they are the ones that should be doing the work on your site, not you.  This is the claim that they make when they call you.  They have told thousands of their customers that they will do all the work for you.  These clients don't know very much about website technology and they are relying on professionals to do the work.  

Also if you agree to the agreement that you sign electronically you are not given a chance to really absorb what it is that you are agreeing to.  That agreement is flashed before your eyes, and then, after the fact, you have lost your money. Do not do business with this company or you will be forced to go through a guantlet of problems, that the average person doesn't have time for.  When you call them to cancel your order, they then tell you that you didn't call the right person, and then they send everthing to collections.  Even if you have a credit card, and you made it clear to the credit card company that you don't want to business with them,  Captures.com will not recognize this, and the bill is sent to collections. You have the right to cancel any transaction that you make by credit card with in 30 days.  If they continue to bill you and send that to collections, that may be a violation of their credit card privileges, and if you report that to the credit card companies, they could loose the use of their credit card services. Don't let this company stall you for 30 days so that you are not able to cancel.  They want you to sign this electronic agreement, that states that you will give them time to do the work.  Don't fall for it.

I've been getting about 8 -- 15 calls a day from these pain the [***] (pitas). Don't they get it. If they were legit they would 1) show themselves by name on caller ID 2) leave a message and 3) not call every 20 minutes.
Whoo the &^(_ would take these scumballs seriously, certainly not someone who just put a site up.

I feel like answering the once and saying, "Great you found my site!"-(what the heck do i need you people for?)

Many website owners get their website from SMC and other companies like this.  They also get websites from multilevel network marketing companies that claim that you can make thousands of dollars by simply having a website. This is not true. These companies are also running a scam in the way that they really don't tell you that your website alone is not enough.  As soon as your website is up and running with a URL, that information is purchased by companies like Captures.com, and then you are called, and told the bad news.  Then they take advantage of that and offer to optimize your site to get you invested, and then call you later to sell a website.  If you don't buy, then, you give up and take the loss. That is what they are counting on.  The truth is,you will have to spend thousands of dollars to get your website on the search engines, to get you on the first page, when a customer types in a key word, to search for the product that they are looking for.  If your website has the current technology on the website and a very agressive marketing package to optimize your site you have a better chance. But there is never any guarantee that you will be on the first page of the search engine.  This is a gamble that you take, and many of you can not afford to take that gamble.  Right!

Many of the people that purchase websites in the first place want to work at home.  Many of these people are disabled, mothers who want to work at home and be with their children, retired people, and the elderly.  These people are looking for a break, and this will only prove to break your bank account.  Don't fall for this!  The people that work for this company do not care about your plight in life, they only care about buying that new SUV, house, and anything else that they have on their dream list so that they can puff themselves up, and elevate their self worth at your expense, because they are inferior as people to begin with.

There are many out of work actors and actresses that sponsor companies because they know that people like you will buy, and it is a scam. These celeberties are looking for a way to keep their homes ect.  There are many customers that are very disappointed in Mr Bosley for misleading them.  Then the website companies come in and figure, if they fell for that, they will fall for this.

The calling begins as soon as you have a URL, and when they call you, you will be under the impression that you are being called by the company that sold your SMC site, or gift card site.  Then they will tell your that they were looking at your site and they noticed that your key words are not specific enough,  your metatags are off, ect.  They will compliment your site and tell you that you can make a lot of money off of this site.  Then they will attempt to educate you on the functions of a website, and what you need to do to make your site better.  Then they take your money after they sell you the marketing package, and call later to sell you a website, after they give you the bad news that your site is really crap, and the only way that you will ever make money is to invest in a high tec site.

These people are very difficult to contact, and they will send you to collections if you try to cancel.  Honest companies make contact simple.

This company claims that they are highly recommended by google.  This is not true.  Call your library and ask them to search for any article that mentions this.  It doesn't exist.

This company is located in Redmond near Microsoft and Google, but they don't recommend them or sponsor them.  

Don't invest with this company.

This companie's primary objective is to call you and tell you that they analize sites and give you the impression that they are affiliated with the company that sold you the site that you are using.  They will tell you that your source codes, metatags, and key words need to be optimized so that you can get higher rankings on the search engines.  When you go to their website at webmarketingsource.com they will show you several packages on different marketing packages to optimize your site.  This marketing package alone will not, and I repeat willlllllllll not, put you on the first pages of the search engines. There intent is to get you to invest in any package so that they can get the first initial investment out of you and call you later to sell you a website, after they complimented the one you have and told you that you can make a lot of money with the site that you have.  Now they are going to tell you that your site is crap, and you need a new one with all the technology.  They will sell you the marketing first to get what ever money they can, to get you invested, so that later you will feel preasured to invest more money to get the results that you are looking for,or force you to cut your losses.  If you are not able to invest in a website that will get you there, which costs over 10K then as far as they are concerned it is your loss if you are not willing to spend more money on a new site, because you get what you pay for. They will tell you that you get what you paid for after the fact.  These people are not completely honest about the technology that they offer.  They know that if they tell you the truth, and tell you that the marketing alone will not get you on the search engines, you won't buy anything.  They know that if they try to sell you the website for over 10K up front,you won't spend money on anything.  Most people can't afford that, so they show you the marketing packages, and the different prices for those packages to see how much money they can get out of you. If you can't afford the website later, then you have just given them your hard earned money for nothing.  Even if you are able to afford a website, there is no guarantee that they will build it, and no guarantee that you will be on the first pages of the search engines.  You are taking a gamble with your money, and these thugs are essentially dancing on your grave.  If they knew that you had money in your grave, they would rob that as well.  These are the kind of people you are dealing with.  Do not invest, or you will be very sorry you ever answered the phone.

For those who are paying for pay per click.  That will cost you a lot of money.  It has been reported that some of those customers that click on pay per click are people that are trying to put you out of business, by clicking you out of business, and they may be your competitiors. Think about it, and get out of that service.

they call several times in a row, even though I do not answer 866 calls.  Obviously a scam

Remember, the more complaints they have the more they will take action against this company.

This company goes by several names.  Captures.com, Web Marketing source, Visible.net, Mobile Penguines, and they are selling a stores on line package that offers several sites for thousands of dollars.  Not only have they ripped off consumers in the United States, but it appears that they are also doing business in other countries.  If you google Captures.com & Web Marketing Source, scroll through the pages on the search engines until you get to a site that says "Not surpised in my research...." It appears that this company is selling stores on line to people in Australia, and since this company is not located in Australia, and they have no assets in Australia, these people can not recover their losses.  Australian officials are taking action to prevent them from doing business in their country.  You will also notice several other complaints on this site. That site is www.commercemanager.info

There is a complaint on this site, on the search engines when you go to "Not surprised in my research......." that states that someone from Australia has come in contact with a company that has seminars, selling multiple sites with a stores on line program.  Very interesting report on earnings ect that raises intelligent questions about companies offering these services.  Not sure if they are talking about Captures.com.  If you go to the website www.commercemanager.info and click on other things there, it will provide a lot of information about the promises they make, sales tactics, ect.  Very informative site if you are the owner of a website, and you are doing business on line.  Date Line also covers a investigation on these companies and offers intelligent insight to what is going on with, not just one, but many companies that use deceptive tacticts and prey on people that have little knowlege of computer technolgy and make it sound like you can make thousands of dollars by having nothing more than a computer and a product.  After you spend your money and do everyting that they tell you to do, if you are not getting the results, it is your fault.  In my research, Captures.com & Web Marketing Source also has a stores on line program, and maybe that is what Mike Bixby is selling.  The mulitple sites that only appear to be a great deal. Google this company and read everything you can, before you get ripped off.  It appears from other reports on Rip Off Report that Captures.com is also blaming their clients for their lack of success, and making it very difficult to get refunds, and resolve problems with their sites. You will notice as you read through these complaints that the problems are very similar. I can only conclude that these complaints are credible.  You be the judge!

I received a phone call from them after getting a ecommerce website from SMC.  They call saying they were calling from SMC, saying that they would optimize the hits to the website with their program.  I told them I wasn't interested and the lady then got very rude.
