What this company did to help me is precisely NOTHING.
They promised to call e to get more information on my website so the company could set up all of the services needed to help my site. They would set up an automated email, manage my social media, send text messages to customers and followers, and optimize my website.
I was under the impression DexMedia would handle the management of my site. So a month into my membership when I received a phone call, imagine how shocked I was when DexYP informed me that I would have to manage my site myself.
DexMedia lied to me and led me to believe they were a website management company. I already had an email management system that I did myself. Why did I need another?
The email account they offered did not work. I could not send text messages to my followers. Finally, I called the company but did not receive a call back from them.
But they did place me on the yellow pages as a website without a phone number. What good did that do? NONE!!!! It harmed my site. The yellow pages now link to my website 348 times a month and hurt my ranking.
And they did register me as a business with Google. What good did that do? NONE!!!! I have spent months trying to convince Google that I did not set this up.
Great review. People should know that this sort of scam is very possible and that can occur to everyone. I still can’t believe what people will invent to fraud other people. I am online for so many years and I was scammed a lot times with kind of programs. People should pay more attention where they give their money.
Thank you Daniel. I too have been scammed by many companies and if I can help others bypass any of these companies then I have accomplished much.
I have trouble believing companies like this are still in business with so many bad reviews.

Hey Laura and Dave:
Thanks for the heads-up about Dex Media Reviews. (Sigh!) The scams do proliferate, don’t they?
I’m sorry for your trouble. When promises are not kept, it leaves such a bad taste behind, it seems to me. It’s fortunate that you’ve found a better way with Wealthy Affiliates. At least you know that there are good guys out there….
Hi Netta, I just want people to know and use my review to not make the same mistake I did. And yes it took me years to find Wealthy Affiliate. I am so happy to be affiliated with a company that is honest and trustworthy. i just hope it doesn’t take others as long as it took me to find Wealthy Affiliate to begin their business.
I love these sites that sniff out the scams. You can buy services to help with SEO but they tend to be pricey and usually reserved for much bigger companies. The fact of the matter is you are right. Getting into a great company like Wealthy Affiliate will train you slowly and properly how to use proper SEO on your websites. Thank you for the great review and exposing a scam that can hurt so many desperate people.
Hi Dale, I know you are right. We don’t have to pay for SEO. We just have to understand it and apply what we learn. I have made the mistake of paying to have my website optimized more than once. I just don’t want others to make the same mistake.
At wealthy affiliate the training teaches all we need to know.
It’s so sad how these scams are reaping what they would not have cultivated. I still remember, back in 2015, I ended up strangled in an with debts that led me to sell my only car by then. I learnt a lesson of my life, there is never a short cut on getting rich, you have to work hard. I was lucky to find Wealthy Affiliate, with it I found accommodation and the community is just but a family of like minded people. I have achieved great things, which I had never dream of. But its out of hard work not get rich quick.
So many companies on the internet now promote get rich quick schemes. Nothing in life that will make money is quick and easy. We get out what we put in. With that said yes this company is bad news. I hope others do not fall into the same trap I did. And I hope it doesn’t take them years to find a place like Wealthy Affiliate to help them learn all the ins and outs of internet marketing.
This is one reason why I read reviews on almost everything. Usually the reviews will tell you any and everything you need to know about a company, product, service, etc.
I’m glad you created this post to let potential customers come by and see that they may be getting involved with a scam.
Hey Ty, Since falling into this bad company I too read reviews now. Thank you for reading this one.
Very good article. thank you for sharing. Articles like these are important especially for people that are starting out in affiliate marketing. exposing scams like this one will help so many people from making costly mistakes. I agree with you. Wealthy Affiliate is in my opinion the best platform in the market.
Thank you. When ever a company says they will do it all for you it is probably a scam. Affiliate marketing is a business and no business is built in a day or by turning it all over to someone else.
I am hoping people will see how much I trust and love Wealthy Affiliate. It is an incredible community with unparalleled training.
