More Sources, Editors?

[edit]

I have listed this page with an advert tag because it appears that it was written by the PR team for this website. Having done a bit of research it appears that this site may in fact be notable (it is something like the American site Yelp), but the article needs some work. Also, having examined the history, it appears that one user is responsible for the majority of the text, and this is the only article that they have contributed to. I welcome any editors to try and add some balance to the page and bring in some outside sources (I found several, but they were in German which I'm afraid I cannot read).

I wrote most of the base text, orienting myself on the yelp.com entry, to make sure I was following an approved article. That's why I fail to see any blatant ads (at least its no more positive than the yelp.entry). I'm not affiliated with qype, just one of their users. The qype team has corrected some statements, but doesn't want to contribute in a major way, so not to bring bias. Telakin

Qype is a scam!

I was a new business and i got a call from a qype employee Sam and she said that Qype will send 10000 visitors to my website or my money back. I signed up for it and i never got any traffic to my website, i then called qype and another employee Harvey told me that the 10000 visitors was to my qype profile alone and not to my website at all!

When i explained that i was mis sold the product he said i signed a contract and it does not matter what i was told over the phone and i must keep paying qype even though they were not sending anyone to my business as Sam told me in the beginning.

Their sales calls are not recorded so the person that signs you up can tell you anything to sign. Also i never signed the contract. When this fraud of a business called me i was on the train and the 'man' that took my card details sent me the contract and then said ' you do not need to sign it, just send me a reply and i will click the button for you'

I admit i was stupid to believe the lies. Please no business should sign up with this people, they are a fraud, and they will say anything to get you to enter and when you realize that it is a scam, it is too late, you can never get out!

I will be filling legal claims against them and i hope that no one ever falls into the same scam.

Merger with Yelp

[edit]

I believe that the merger is now complete and the article should be updated as such. Any sources would be useful. Crookesmoor (talk) 03:22, 27 October 2013 (UTC)[reply]
