Liars, cheats, aggressive scum. Lowest of the low. Total waste of money. Deliver nothing, refuse to correspond to emails. Stay well away.
Disgusting service, they try to sell you this and that, then they just never deliver. Plus the cut any type of communication with you. Once they got the money, nothing else matters... Don't get fooled. Don't trust this company.
Very bad company they set up my company in google, but I can't see my page there rip off. Now they charge some money for service what was not done. Never trust some like this company's. They calling every day with hidden number. Real scum company.
They made a call AGAIN this morning with an hidden phone number. They are saying that they are ready to take me on court for what they know it was a scam. So many companies and individuals experienced this fraud $#*!z thanking money from their bank accounts. I can't bear the taught that other are will go through this. If someone wants to take this company in court just WRITE ANOTHER REVIEW with this note "Threatened with court by i-Ads". I will have a new forum were this company can be discussed and we can eliminate them.
Take your money without authorisation. Don't put you on google. When you want proof you have to pay. They have taken 1000 and I never agreed to anything. They just want your bank details.
What a bunch of scammers i never wrote a review in my life but these shower of animals should be closed down they phoned me offering me a great facebook advert which sounded like what i wanted and told me there was no contract just pay 150 euro for the 30 day add which was an absolute waste of money then rang me after 30 days and wanted more money saying it was a rolling contract and i had to pay to close the account and have some legal team calling me which i suspect is just one of them tryin to scare me in to paying or else i will get a ccj. I wish i read the reviews they are dirtbags only out to scam you out of money stay away
Lied from the outset. First received unsolicited call from them in March 2017. Very dangerous company to get involved with. Lucky to have a friend who is knowledgeable about internet marketing and, with her help, challenged them. They were incredibly threatening and abusive to my friend. With her help I raised a dispute through my bank and my bank paid me back all the money. Now I have received nuisance calls from them, first claiming to be IADS and saying I owed them money and then, just today, claiming to be a firm of solicitors and threatening me with legal action - but surprise, surprise - when I googled the number IADS name came up! I have reported their number. NEVER EVER DEAL WITH THEM! THEY SHOULD BE PROSECUTED.
Once you'll post your add on Gumtree, one of the guys will call and try to sell you advertising space.
If you say no, he will threaten you with: "Ok, your Gumtree advert will be deleted"
I understand everyone should make a way of living, but if you're genuinely incapable of it, then you should go and try to flip burgers for example!
PS: I certify that this review is based on my own experience and that I am in no way affiliated with this business, and have not been offered any incentive or payment from the business to write this review.
Just rude! Spoken to a sales guy, I was happy with it what they had to offer and wanted to have a look over the offer in my own time, I asked twice for an email to be sent to me, then he just said we don't do marketing emails and didn't let me speak, then put the phone down. Not impressed!
Iads chasing me for £260 and threaten ccj against me if I don't pay this is from a year ago, I never agreed to rolling contract £144 per month, gave it a few months absolutely nothing from it, told them to cancel and they still try to take money good job I told the bank not to let them.
Can they just put a ccj on me or is it go to court 1st... thanks, if anyone has been taken to court by these I'd love to hear about it cheers
I wish I read those reviews before I spoke to them. They cold called me and pressured to take their offer. When I asked to send me the details via email they said they don't work this way, they don't send info out via email. That should have caught my attention straight away. But apparently they have very good sellers who exactly know how to TRICK people. I was also refused to have a chat about it with my partner as that was a one time offer and it would be gone after we finish the call. They offered me a 30 day free trial and took my card details for future payments. But they TOOK THE MONEY the same day and when I wanted to cancel after just 7 days I was told the fee I paid was non-refundable! So it was a lie with the 30day free trial, they did nothing but took the money! STAY AWAY!
Rubbish experience. They now commit an even bigger offence. They are using my card details trying to buy from Sainsbury's and Argos website. Only peoples to have ever received my card details. I have trusted this $#*!s. Shame
I had a man by the name of Mike Jones call me on the 26th of June told me I was going to be on the top of Google payed him £188 pounds never even got to page 2 what a scam
Do not use.
Cold called me.
Mis sold me SEO and Google maps placement
Built a terrible landing page.
Couldn't contribute or link any business leads or enquiries to this service.
After getting in touch to cancel. Found out that I hadnt got SEO. Was informed I wasn't sold it. I questioned this and asked to hear the recording of my call. They would charge me £90 for this lol. It was left to them to 'investigate' heard nothing. But after a month from cancellation. They STOLE another £132 from my account. Luckily my bank can refund as is going to investigate it. So I ads watch out. And everyone else. Staying clear. Google search iads reviews and stay well clear
Edit...
So they have been sending me text messages and emails saying I owe them a random ammout if money. I replied an email and said I had cancelled. Then when I got the text message I rang and reiterated that I had cancelled after 3 times now. NATHAN told me I still owe them the money and account can only be cancelled via email. (The other moron who I FIRST cancelled with never mentioned this. Luckily the cannot get money out of my bank thanks to Halifax. I don't understand how they are still operating lie this. Absolute scam. Scoundrels. Morally wrong unfair way to steal money off people.
Edit.
Just had a call from their 'legal team' offering a reduction offer of what they claim I owe. I didnt even ask how much. Regards the mis sold SEO. He said he had listened to the initial call I had and that It wasn't sold to me. When I said that after the first month I cancelled the service during a phone call and and he implied that recording may not be able to be found. Noting that the Mickey mouse landing page they had built me wasnt online after I genuinely cancelled it after the first month. What on earth are they actually saying I owe money for! He couldn't answer this. So im being billed for a service that wasn't being provided, after the first month, yet he's saying I didn't cancelled it.
All the threats of court aren't scaring me. When I told him to take me to court elhe hung up. And likely went down the list to the next victim to try and bulky money out of.
I HIGHLY ADVISE, DO NOT HAVE ANYTHING TO DO WITH THIS COMPANY.
WARNING, STAY CLEAR
Edit 10 04 2018
Another call from Daniel, same bluff and threats, inconsistent contradictions, he actually accepted the fact that they HAD stopped the service but my account and therefore billing was still ongoing so I still owe them money. Daniel said he didn't want to waste his time, I told him that's all he was doing phoning me. He abruptly and quite unprofessionaly hung up from this number *******0630.
Edit 13/6/18
So after checking my spam folder for a chuckle, I owe them £700 odd. And then from a new email address (they must be used to being blocked) a new invoice for the original sum of £132. Dated 10/6/18. Not sure if this is a desperate attempt to get at least some money off me or an additional charge to SCARE me into making contact with them. I have collated everything and record every call from them. My solicitor cannot believe they are still trading. But folks, in a nutshell. DO NOT BE SWINDLED. STAY AWAY
Scammers/gangsters/crooks/robbers

PLEASE READ THE REVIEWS ON ONTHER SITES
Search I-Ads Manchester reviews before doing anything.
I have never in my 40 years of life been mislead but this lot are very good and tricking you into a contract that is business to business so you. Never get a refund but unless you settle the account they mcontinue to charge you. I am son dam angry wordo do not put it into context. Please avoid if you want your sanity and business intact
Started my ad and realized that i-ads and many like this other companies in the market are actually making money for being between you and google adwords. Which is a rip off anyone doing online adwords should handle wither by themselves or hire somone to do it on wages/salary or arrangment. This company is full of bull$#*!. They do not sell you anything except bull$#*!.
I -ads Isimply he biggest rip off on the net, they offer you a website in there ploy to reel you in and tell you it's yours forever, which actually belongs to them, half the time I searched my ad I couldn't even find it, because it had reached a certain amount of clicks... which they never informed me in the signing up stage, anyway completly my fault for signing up with these bull$#*! artists, I payed £130 for the month and I did not receive one phone call STAY AWAY FROM I -ADS
They called up saying that they'd do a website and Google ad works for my company with a one off payment and a review to see if I'd like to continue with their services. The website was ugly and when they said they'd launched it I checked to see if it was on Google... it wasn't. Every time I clicked on the website there was an error. I realised I was scammed and gave up. After a few months they started to charge me again for services and tried to make me pay to cancel everything. Please do not fall into their trap.
Had a call from an Emma who seemed pleasant at the time, I couldnt speak at that moment so I requested a later call back which she did.
I took the info down to discuss with my business partners as the decision was not mine alone to make and she promptly told me that there was only offer left and that if It was gone then the offer was closed basically, at that point only did my radar kick in, prior to that I actually thought that maybe this was a possibility, I asked her the company details and ended the call.
I googled I-Ads and found this really helpful review site which made my radar correct after reading the terrible experiences that were had.
I called I-ads back to explain that we would not be taking up the offer and asked if they could remove us from their database so that we received no more calls ( I hasten to add that I was never once rude) the same lady promptly put the telephone down.
I called again only to get a tirade of abuse and the phone slammed down.
Once again I called back as they had not confirmed that I was going to be removed from thier calls, the phone call was cut off, after about 20 minutes I called back and the call was answered by the same lady, I asked for the manager and she replied that indeed she was the manager, I explained that I wished for my details to be removed and she said that she would remove them, she had clearly calmed down from her tirade and was now back to normal human mode... all very odd.
Never once was I rude, never once did I shout, I came to work and was CALLED by them and they spoke to me like this.
I hope that with the new GDPR coming into force we are protected from these awful awful people, how dare they treat so badly, it is disgusting.
DO NOT TOUCH I-ADS WITH A BARGE POLE.
We are shocked
I'm happy to join up. They keep harassing me, and they did not do any work for my company. They do not reply to the emails, just try to harass me over the phone. I'm more than happy to team up with everyone, just email me on *******@marriottkelly.com.
Edited: did anyone take them to court to this day?
