Beware Door Hanger Advertising from Grass Roots Marketing

Stephen Koo of Grass Roots Marketing in Buford Georgia seems like a real nice honest man but do not be fooled. He promised to deliver 10,000 Door Hangers anywhere in the Atlanta Area for a discount of $350 than he lowered it to $300. It sounded like a good deal (warning bells should have been going off too good a deal). Like the other review (http://www.insiderpages.com/b/15247337008) he told us he had a crew of people working for him who would deliver them to three area mosques at our request and then the surrounding neighborhoods in the areas around our store in Lilburn. He showed us a nice door hanger in color on card stock. The rough draft was in color. The end product was on regular cheap copy paper in black and white. He only delivered a few to the mosque we attended. Only one person from this mosque brought in a flyer. No door hangers were delivered in the area surrounding our store. Our customers who live within walking distance of our store never received a flyer and we talked with three locals! He created a big drama and had a woman (probably his wife) call in to get the mosque directions for the GPS and tell us the crew was assembled waiting for Stephen to arrive. Stephen kept calling and giving us "feedback" from "his crew". Stephen himself was the only "crew member" at our mosque delivering a few flyers in person. No flyer's were put on the cars as promised. When only one person brings in a flyer and no door hangers are brought in when thousands were supposedly given out then you know they were not actually given out. A total rip off. Unfortunately he had already cashed our check and we could not stop payment. We requested a refund but it was denied. A lesson learned. But beware and stop this schemer. We are spreading the word to save others. Don't become the next victim!
