Askme is a fraudulent company. They and their sales executives have duped my start up of INR. 50000. This after promising to refund the money and not going ahead with the listing. Please do not use their services or subscribe to them, they have listed my company with all the wrong information without my permission, after me declining the listing during their confirmation call, just to show that they have provided the services.
Request you be very careful of this company, it seems completely fraudulent and we are going to file a case against the company for fraud and improper representation of my company and its brand in court and registering a police complaint against Farhan Akhtar and Ranbir Kapoor for promoting their services. They do not even have a contract with my company and are fraudulently claiming that they do. The sales executives will tell you to make the payment and sign a paper so that they can make their month end quota and if you decide to reverse your decision you can do so when they call for a confirmation from the call centre and they will refund the amount in full. When they called, I declined the listing and requested the refund as promised. Since then I have received several calls from Amriti(sales executive) and Shubha(Finance person) from their local office in Bangalore begging me to reconsider my decision and that they will help correct all the wrong information. When they saw that I would not relent they have used fraudulent means to hold our money and have now also informed the call centre to say that the money cannot be refunded.
If they have any ethics they would not hire such people and use such fraudulent means to do and win business. I would request anyone considering using their service to think a hundred times and refer my experience and not fall into this same trap.
