'OMP Marketing Professionals' KEEPS calling our office asking for the business owner. I keep telling them we are not interested in their marketing calls yet they KEEP CALLING almost daily. It is getting really annoying. I have read the posts above and they clearly operate a scam within Australia.

I am having huge trouble with them at the moment. I paid for 6 months of advertising and when that campaign was just about to finish(did not work that well anyway)they charged my credit card again with out my knowledge for $7000!!!!BASTARDS.

I got stung $5500 from these sons of bitches
watch out!

I have been talking about a plan like this with Justin Geller from Matrix. They seem convincing but now I am skeptical! I spoke with one of their customers who is getting what he paid for... so far.
I can see how it'd run as a scam... use clients as solid referees, but when you run out of money from the kitty, pull the plug and stop providing a service. They only have a serviced office in Sydney, so no local presence really. (small cost to look local).

So very close to going ahead with such an offer these scammers gave us. Three days of constant haggling from them and we were convinced to go ahead. Tried to do a bit of research on them and found very little until this page came up. We were minutes from going ahead with the deal. Shows that word of mouth can work both ways in business and we would just like to thank all the people who have come forward and exposed these scammers before we got bitten too.
Learn by other peoples mistakes and EXPOSE SCAMMERS what ever way you can, these threads are invaluable, so a huge THANKYOU to all your submits.

Wow! Thanks so much for the info. They sounded so convincing, I'm glad I did the homework. I've just wasted 45 minutes of precious work time.

I signed up with them for 3 months, my ad was on the first page for 12 days of the 3 months, total nightmare to deal with. Now a year later they are calling me weekly to get me to sign up. Who can we report them to???? i have asked to speak to the mananger and told him to take me off his calling list to no avail.

OMP Marketing is a scam. One owner is based in Egypt, the other based in Australia. One phone number rings out, the other is disconnected. One of them keeps calling our business even though I have told him repeatedly that we do not accept calls from telemarketers. He then hangs up on me! I dont think he realises this behaviour would not be from a legitimite telemarketer! When i googled OMP Marketing scam, a link came up from 'Who calls me From'? and a lot of other people have the same issues. Some have been scammed many $$$$$ from this so called 'company'. It is very easy to have a fake online presence these days. Do not accept these guys' calls.

Unfortunately there is no field for 'Scam Call' so i have chosen 'Prank Call'.

These guys just called my Mum offering the same thing. I decided to speak to them, he wasted half an hour of my life and now I can't get it back. Anyone who needs to do the hard sell and make you search the ABN register to prove they're legit is always going to be dodgy, in my experience. Actually, anyone who needs to cold call and solicit their service is usually dodgy :)

Don't know the ins and outs of how they continue to get away with this, but hopefully someone puts a stop to them, soon.

I asked for their website and contact details. Whilst they were dribbling on. I did a quick reverseaustrlia.com phone look up to check who they were. I read a little of the history and then told them to take me off their call list and piss off.

Opm have been intouch with me
same as you guys
Im a stuggling small businees owner in melbourne
and thanks to you guys I am now well aware of the scam they are pulling
first they asked for $ 7000 for one year
then $3,450.00
then $2,450.00 for 3 months
and then finally $1,100.00 for 1 month
Thanks guys for exposing these pricks
I did a google search and alarm bells rang when they are not even on the first 10 pages of google
Youd think as they promise to get you on the first page. that they would also be on the first page, but no.
I ask a friend in Sydney to pop into there office in Sydney but had heaps of trouble finding out anything about them.
Luckily I did not have my credit card on me at the time as i may have given it a go

Seano

I just received a call from this company. I'd like to say Thanks to everyone that has taken the time to comment on this company. I believe you have all saved me some money. The alarm bells that rang the loudest for me were that they claimed to be experts in getting first page ranking on Google ect. yet their own company name didn't rank on the first page.

I've had the same result for the last few days. A guy called John from Online Marketing Professionals has been ringing from private numbers claiming to be in Sydney. The guy was very persistent and must have rung over 20 times with a Google Adwords guaranteed program. I had signed the forms ready to send and did a check on Google to see what others experiences had been. Thank you for your posts, it would have cost us a lot of money. When he rang back and I told him I wasn't interested he pulled the 'look at our testimonials' routine. The email address was the same, sam.mcclain @ om-p.com.au.
Be warned.

OM-P are thieves, they offer unlimited click google adwords campaigns at a fixed cost per month - google doesnt work that way - all they do is set an account up that you cant access and run a few ads - they are rude, lying, thieving, cheating scammers

I have paid money to om-p.com.au to manage my adwords account for 6 month, they have been managing it for almost 3 month now and I have seen positive results, I haven?t had a lot of increase in business but our ads are there whenever we check and for much less than what I was paying before, I also know that they had a problem with their telephone numbers but I believe it?s solved now, these guys are not scammers!

regarding google ads.. keeps calling. Refuses to put my number on the Do Not call back list.  have threatened to go to the communication ombudsman..

i am working at this company called OMP it's based in cairo egypt

OM-P is a telemarketing company running an ADWORDS SCAM. They promise UNLIMITED CLICKS for whatever AU$ they feel they can convince a company out of (starts at $25,000 per quarter down to around $2,500 per month). They call, call, call once they have managed to talk to someone and prey on Australian business who are not familiar with Google Adwords, Online Marketing or SEO.

They do run a semblance of a service, which consists of setting an ADWORDS CAMPAIGN up for a businesses URL under their own GOOGLE ACCOUNTS and then plugging in keywords and allocating a budget (depending on how much a business was scammed, will depend on the daily budget allocated to running the ADWORDS campaign). If they scammed $25,000 for 3 months, assume they will spend $2,500 to $5,000 over the term. They do NO account management, optimization or any other such work and they WILL NOT under any circumstance give clients access to a full report generated by ADWORDS. They provide a PDF file which has been filtered to remove any information on costs.

They are still VERY ACTIVE and RUNNING their SCAM - currently focused on South Australia and Western Australia.

UPDATE - Now they seem to have closed accounts for customers who have paid for them meaning that they may have received $25,000 upfront for an ADWORDS campaign and are not even running the campaign for $5 a day...

I called the company in relation to an account one of my managers agreed to and when I was asking how the service could be stopped, the contact started laughing and hung up on our face.

The scam is very sad, and alot of small to medium business in Australia has been affected. Some other related info about them:

http://www.webphoria.co.uk/amstron-technologi ... scam-or-not.asp

The company details as stated on their website:

Online Marketing Professionals
Address: Suite 104, Level 1, 105 Pitt st Sydney, NSW 2000
Telephone: P: (02) 9037 2791
Toll Free: 1800 799 979
FAX: (02) 8088 6113

The address is not real, it is an office that hires meeting rooms.
The telephone leads to a call centre in Egypt (not Philippines)

I am sure many other business have been SCAMMED by this crappy company - someone needs to take legal action against them.

The SCAM is real - take heed of this warning before doing any business with these guys...

The ABN number for the company is: 16135048707

I will follow this thread and interested to know if anyone else has had problems

“I purchased an ad with om-p a couple of weeks back, so far everything seems to be normal though....they gave me a landline number to call whenever I need to talk to someone regarding my account and when I call I’m able to get through to my account manager during business hours, I only paid $500 for 6 keywords and when I asked a friend who has her own business and run ads on Google she said that is a good price as her keywords are almost the same as what I chose and she spends around the same, I will try their service for 1 month and if it works then I will continue advertising with them, I think my friend is also waiting to see cuz then she might do the same lol”

The OM-P thieves finally have names, one is an Egyptian living in Cairo, the other lives in Australia - both are directors of this SCAM company that preys on small business.
