Advantage LED Signs Reviews
I found this company on the internet while searching for led signs, and decided to give them a call. I was transfered to a sales person named Mark Bullock. He gave me his pitch of why his led signs are the best there are, and there's none better. Then he gave me this outrageous price and when he heard my reaction, he immediately lowered it by a large amount of money. This should've been my first clue these guys were crooks. Over the next few weeks i was shopping other companies all while Mark kept calling and it seemed like he would tell me everything i wanted to hear about the sign. It came down to decision time and yet again, Mark discounted the sign again if i sign with their company that week. "But wait there's more" Mark claimed that since they are the "manufacturer" they can get my sign within 2 weeks. I ended up giving them a 50% deposit and nearly 3months have passed and i still have no sign. I've tried to get a hold of Mark and he won't return any calls. I'm trying to deal with other people in that company that are giving me empty promises every time i call. They called nearly everyday while trying to get my money, but now it's nearly impossible to reach anyone there. This company has horrible customer service and will say anything to get your money. Beware of this company.
After my "purchase" i did some research on this company and found that this company does not even have a year in business even though Mark claimed over 10 years. I also found out they are not manufacturers. Mark claimed that they manufacture their signs out of California, yet their own employees told me that the sign has not arrived yet from China!!! Who knows what type of sign i will receive in the end if i ever even receive it.
I have still not received my sign so i have to stay anonymous in the hopes of eventually getting it. But i have to post this so that other hard working business owners will be more cautious of this company and their empty promises. Especially in these hard uncertain times do your research before you purchase anything!!!
At it again
John Anderson is working in Muskogee, Oklahoma at Green Country L.E.D. after getting run off from Texas and bankrupted Ecperious Advertising as long in Muskogee. Green country is owned by Ronnie Boswell (also known scam artist) and Patric Hale who's running for public office. Same old tricks. Chinese signs, lying, pocketing money and all. Buyer beware.
Before i purchased from this company, i was told by numerous other companies that these guys are crooks. I should have listed, but now i have lost the money i put for the sign i wanted to purchase. This company and their sales people took advantage of me. I put over $4,000 toward the purchase of and LED sign from this company. They say they will finance me for sure and if i don't, i get my money back. After i put my money for the sign, they say next i was not approved and will get my money back. I have waited for almost 6 months now and still i have not received my money.
I own a small business and don't have a lot of money, i need that money to survive and they took advantage of me. Everytime i call they say they will take care of the situation next week or next month. They lie everytime.
Do not trust this company, ask other companies what they think of these crooks first and listen. If anyone else has trouble with this company post on this site. Lets take care of each other.!!
I even call the police, they told me they can't do anything about this because it's a civil matter. Well I'll do whatever i can to make sure these crooks pay my money back.
All I can say is the reports about this company lying are the absolute true. They tell lie after lie after lie to get you to purchase their crappy product. Their signs are sub par to say the least and are manufactured in China.
What bothers me more is that there was a sweet girl working there named Andreea and she is now gone. They fired her and they fired her because she was the only one who told the truth. I know she was fired because she herself told me she was when I contacted her after calling the company and being told she no longer worked there. She told me that they write their own customer testimonies and their own reviews so they look to be a legit company with happy costumers. She was the only one who would tell costumers that their signs had not been shipped from China, not California like the sales people claim. She also told me that this company is directly hooked with The Led Sign Company and ADstar Displays and John Anderson. I guess that should have been obvious when the AD of ADstar and the AD of ADvantage was capitalized. Apparently a lot of fellow Led Sign Company employees, including one of the partners/owners (Richard James) started ADvantage Led Signs with the supplier (Chris Ma) of the Led Sign Company. The same supplier who is now refusing to honor warranties on signs sold that he claims he was never paid for. However many people gave their money to John Anderson and were delivered signs that now don't work or work properly because of this.
I don't know about any of you but after reading two reports that this company is taking money and not delivering signs (same scenario as The Led Sign Company) and knowing now that the only person who was telling the truth, Andreea, is now fired. It makes me wonder what exactly these crooks are doing.
People need to know about this company, why can't anything be done? If they are ripping people off again they need to be stopped. This is America and we will not stand for this in our country.
Please, please, please if you know anyone considering purchasing from these scam artists, please let them know about these reports.. If you know anyone who has been ripped off by this company, please have them post reports here so that we can stop these crooks!
After getting so many complaints about their bait and switch, Advantage LED has opened up another company under the name of Ace LED signs. This was registered by Richard James 909-496-0851. Great deal for the customer - you know have two choices for bad sign displays with poor tech support and Chinese crap at an over inflated price!
