La Opinion

I WISH I COULD GIVE THIS GUYS ZERO STARS.
BE VERY CAREFUL GUYS, WHEN YOU POST A JOB LISTING WITH THIS PEOPLE.
I called La Opinion regarding a listing for a technician… and this was not our first time advertising with La Opinion. Over the years we had published many times. The representative who was assisting us with this small ad, quoted us $ 267.00 per day, yes believe it or not $ 267.00 per day or $ 650.00 for three days to publish a two sentence ad, for people in desperate need of work during this tough economic times. Anyway we decided NOT to run the ad because of the cost, about an hour later we received a call back from the same La Opinion rep., saying that they had a per-​motion for $ 210.00 for three days, the only thing we had to do was minimize the wording in the ad. There wasn’t much to remove since it was a very short ad to begin with, for a small business like ours seeking a technician. In any event we removed a few words then we agreed to publish the ad, making it clear on what we needed to post in the ad including the business phone number. The rep. then sent us a sample ad confirmation, we were gullible and did not clearly check the ad since later it turned out to be a SCAM, and this is where you must be careful people and that’s all we can think of.
We clearly stated that we wanted our business telephone number stated in the ad, little did we know it was only our address. Three days later without a single call we called La opinion back to confirm this, the rep. told us that we chose not to list the phone number, since many businesses don’t list their phone numbers and besides the confirmation ad did not include the phone number. She was right and we couldn’t do anything about it unfortunately since this was not intentional.
Imagine how much space the address occupied versus a phone number.
so, basically according to her, if we wanted to publish another ad we had to fork out another $ 210.00 … How Nice…
Please be aware and be advised, advertise with Craiglist, La Times, Daily News anybody but this guys, people are seeking work and small business owners are getting milked this way, BE AWARE, we were very disappointed.
