SEO Scam Company

Please let me know if this would be, else where, an appropriate place to discuss an SEO company who's falsly advertising the ability to "get around" DMOZ and misleading prospective clients. I emailed them based on their claims, and to put it midly, they stepped all over it. Unethical practices by such scam artists takes away from the hard work of DMOZ and sites legitimately listed there IMO.

Thanks in advance for your time!

Please report it to http://report-abuse.dmoz.org/ , giving as much information (including copies of emails with headers) as you can. Thanks.

Because there is a possibility that their claims are true, please report them via http://report-abuse.dmoz.org/ . This will give meta editors the chance to investigate matters in private and without alerting any offenders.

Thanks

Thanks for the guidance and direction; doing now.

Update

Thanks for the guidance once again.

To give a little background, this company advertised the ability to submit to DMOZ with their proprietary software. Further, they claimed they could guarantee a listing.

When I asked about this "palatable" offer, they responded that they had ways of getting around the submission process and guarantee a listing. When pressed on this issue, they then stated, the user (me) could submit manually based on the information (title, description, etc.) that they used to auto-submit to other engines and directories.

Hmm ... now my radar was pinging ...

When I pointed out the contradictory statements, their only retort was to downplay the importance of DMOZ, "... wasn't worth it, editors are crooked ..." and the whole nine yards.

Anyway, I did report them to DMOZ, the BBB, and the Secretary of State where they are located (as this is the entity governing licenses for their state).

I never got a reply (not that I was expecting or entitled), but they have since changed their website and no longer make these claims.

I'm sure (hopefully) that I was not the only person who had issues with their claims and obvious deceit, but I'm feeling better nonetheless, that there is one less scam being perpetrated.
