Dun & BradstreetReviews of dnb.com

Historically I always used dnb, back in the good old days, when they had some morals and acted like a decent business. But I too have now become a victim of their snidey rolling contracts, so now I stick with Experian and pay for individual international reports elsewhere. They have absolutely no problem in taking money for nothing rather than helping their customers. For what used to be a professional decent company they are now no better than a backstreet scammer. Shame.

I had an issue with Google Developer and needed to update our company info. Followed instructions and ended up on phone with US D&B, who gave me the wrong number for Canada Customer Service (line was disconnected) after waiting on the phone for 42 minutes. The Canada D&B web site shows a "404 Error" on the 'update your company' link, so spent another 45+ minutes on hold and working through a relatively friendly technician who stil treated me like I was a criminal trying to pull a scam. There was NO authentication process; the agent update the file and sent me an email, but there seems to be no verification and I could have been anyone. The agent claiimed "they would do diligence to confirm this". Both these companies need to get their act together and move these services online, with links that work, and MFA authentication, or, close shop forever, since both Apple and Google rely on their information to allow us to put Apps on their Stores. This is unacceptable, and I am not confident my information is safe and cannot be modified by another individual.

I contacted the company through a freelancer site and was directed to contact a recruiter called Elizabeth William via telegram. They propose a project to you and offer a "contract". They offered for you to receive funds through PayPal or Bank transfer so you think it's legit. Then when you submit the project you're directed to a payment manager called Linda Andrew. The payment manager then has you set up the account on Rolly pay which isn't credible to what they say ( I only found this out later). I was gullible and set it up. Then they ask a $150 dollar sign up fee which is apparently refundable so you think it's fine. Then it goes up to $500 for the VAT Code which is also apparently refundable. Then they suspend the account to pay another refundable fee of $250. Then they find a way to get you to pay another fee of $ 1300 for a currency exchange. This finally raised too many red flags and I found out that it was a scam far too late. Please don't pay any fees and insist on them using PayPal or a credible bank account. If they try to persuade you otherwise, run.

Scam business

A Big SCAM, catching people in Fiverr

Terrible website and customer service. It is a requirement to have a DUNS number to register a specific filing with the FDA for one of my businesses. Why the FDA would force small businesses to work with Dun and Bradstreet seems pretty ridiculous to begin with. As soon as you create an account, they offer no help and try to upsell you a bunch of stuff you do not need. So if there was an honest person not knowing any better, they would likely be scammed into spending money on something they don't need. DNB had the incorrect address and code for our business. I tried fixing it online and the site keeps giving me errors and crashes. I called in and the lady on the phone (after waiting for 30 minutes on hold) was not very helpful. She sent me a bunch of broken links that did not solve the problem. So now I am forced to send a bunch of documents to DNB so they can update our profile with the correct info, just so we can get registered with the FDA. DNB should have nothing to do with this process. DNB probably paid someone at the FDA to make this requirement. We should not be forced to share our company information with a scummy 3rd party company just to register with the FDA. Terrible experience with DNB. They literally make money of selling our information, and the government is forcing small businesses to give the information freely to DNB. Such a scam.

Dunn & Bradstreet is complete and utter garbage. My company signed a year contract to get viable leads which I had to sort through before calling. They were supposed to be legit businesses in commercial buildings. I got home based businesses, PO Boxes and Hollywood phone numbers, you know, (555) area codes that only come up in movies. The time I spent filtering through their garbage was not worth the one or two viable leads in a hundred, and those are not good odds. My manager tried to get out of the contract within that same week she signed, and they have not listened, tried to make it her fault, and have behaved very unprofessionally. They are as trustworthy and professional as a company as Trump was as a president with his incessant presidential tweets. Both are a joke.

I will never work with Dun & Bradstreet/Hoovers again!!!! They are BY FAR the worst source for lead generation. I'm not sure how they farm their data but it is incredibly inaccurate. Don't waste your time or money.
