Recently, I’ve been hearing rumors about a company named USA SEO PROS, they are also know as BDI or Business Development Institute who claim to be a company that can take your website and put in on the first 2 pages of google. Well, recently I have been getting calls from this company. I have not picked up the phone nor call them back, but they leave me a message that goes like this: “Hi, I was just looking at your website, it is nice, give me a call at #”. So I did a little research and I found a ton of bad press about USA SEO PROS scams. DO NOT BE PART OF THIS SCAM. USA SEO PROS goes to google, and finds anyone who is using google adwords, collects their contact information, and calls them. Some of their representatives have claimed that they got the lead directly from your MLM or direct sales company or state that they are an authorized vendor. Please be warned- your company DOES NOT endorse this company at all. Your information is kept highly confidential and your network marketing company will never sell, redistributed, etc. Alliances/vendors will NEVER call you on of your companies behalf unless you directly requested their information. You have been warned! Stay away from this USA SEO PROS scam. Please retweet this post to warn and help out the members our community. Have an awesome day!

Wow Donna. That is very unfortunate. Make sure you spread the word. I hope it all works out for you. Thank you for having the courage to come out and warn others.
John Rothstein
I had the same thing happen to me and I am going to try to dispute it also. Any luck Donna with yours?
Thanks Josh.

Hi, Sorry to those people that were scam by findyoursearch.com. My Husband received a call today and thank god he wanted to ask me first. I started looking for some reviews and found this… they called my Husband like 7 times and at the end they got upset with him… but Just FYI they called him from these numbers 1866-472 8906 1866-743-8961.. Ill pray to God that all your money gets returned in full . God Bless
hi John,
thanks for share your story. our website plan to looking for one of seo/usa company to improve our sales.
that it can help us to avoid this company. thanks again.
oh,by the way, do you have any good seo company to recommend? if you can help us,that is very good news for us. : )
Thanks for the heads up, it’s a pity you lost your money, but you may have saved 100 x what you lost by getting on here. Donna, I sympathize your predicament, please know I have 4 kids and thanks to you I won’t have to suffer. It’s a small victory for you. They will get thier kharma, and you will get what you deserve, patience always wins.
This company contacted me a few days ago and pressured me crazy until I wrote down my cc#. The lady told me to trust her, she was a single mom and if I stayed with her I would be okay, she would look out for me and wouldn’t let anything happen to me because I was young. I felt okay about it until they told me I was only guaranteed 260 first page placements a few days later. And I thought…that’s it???? I searched their company and found countless scam alerts. I then called them to try and get out of it and they told me there was no getting out of it once it was started. I am now disputing the charges with Chase. I feel pretty stupid. But I am glad i’m not the only one.
Thank you for letting us know that USA SEO Pro is still a scam. I think it is always a good idea to check any company out before you hand over any cash to them. I wish you the best of luck in recouping your money. Once again, Stay away from USA Seo Pro Scams.
Hi Kellie,
Thank you for the USA SEO PROS Scam comment. Stay away folks!
Donna, may God have mercy on you and your precious family. You might gain some comfort by knowing, like your husband’s brave service, you have protected others. Also, at the very worst, you have paid tuition to the school of hard knocks and made yourself much more careful when potentially being scammed in the future. These scammers called me just today and I could see how they progressed to the pressure more and more of getting my credit card or bank check info ….. always a red flag to press so hard on the first call …..
Findyoursearch.com was/is also known as usaseopros.com (AKA BDI (Business Development Institute) and Dynamic Web Products). Both domains are operating simultaneously and the website designs and contents are practically the same. They have an F rating with the Nevada BBB and numerous reports to the FTC as well as many online complaints. Guessing that the usaseopros.com brand has been sufficiently exposed and required a re-branding. If they call, do not waste your time or money on these unscrupulous hacks! Save yourself the anxiety and aggravation. To find out more, simply do a search…
Thank you for the update!
Hi Donna,
I feel exactly like you, I cant believe that I gave that pushy company my credit card details.There is nothing I can do to get my money back.I did email BDI to cancel my contract with them. My only hope is that they will follow through on their promises of a first page listing on 15 of the major search engines.If not it is hard earned money down the drain. Im so sorry this has happened to you, me and others. We were taken advantage of because of our trusting nature, may they rot in HELL”!!!!
I was contacted by this company also. I heard their pitch and red flags came up in my head… but it sounded so good to be true. They talked me down to $1995 for 6 month and I don’t know how at the time I went for it. Then i started to do some research and found out they where total scammers. I called them right back and they kept transferring me and transferring me to different people all telling me they would not give me my money back then they would hung up on me. I called my CC company and they told me I had to wait 30 days to file a dispute. I called back in 30 days and told them my whole story. My CC issued me all my money back. Then the phone calls and emails started. They would call me every day at first then once a week then once a month and not at all. They kept telling me I owe them money and they would send it to their debt collectors etc. Either way I just never picked up their calls. That was about a year ago now and I have since checked my credit and no leans on it. They are full of hot air. Don’t Listen to a word SEO Pros have to say.
Here are all they numbers they used to contact me I put them all under one contact name with a silent ringer so they where never able to get through.
(702) 240-4309 (702) 240-4309 (866) 743-8960 (866) 472-8906 (866) 472-8849 (866) 743-8962 (866) 472-8764 (702) 835-1516 (866) 472-8859 (866)472-8909 (866)812-6416

John. Thank you for sharing your bad experience with SEO Pros. I am sure your feedback will help some other people from their rip off tactics.
John Rothstein
johnrothstein.com is the most terrific site since the invention of the automobile
Thanks. What about the peanut butter and jelly sandwich too?
Just received a call yesterday from a Mike Brown claiming to be from the infamous Findyoursearck.com site and promising the moon and its mineral rights among other things. My gut said liar cheater and a thief as soon as he spoke…Told Mike I would call him back at my discretion as I was going into a meeting. The number which showed on my phone was 702-835-1525, he claimed to be calling from Mn. Beware folks
I used to work for this company. The SEO is a scam, If you go to google they give you what the information you need to be successful online. No one can guarantee a #1 ranking on Google that is the facts.

Ouch they got me too. I sent in a dispute with usaa. Hoping it will be refunded to me 3 grand is a huge amount for nothing.
Mark,
Thank you for letting the rest of us know and I hope your reply will save others the pain you went through.
John Rothstein
Wow, i thank you all for the great info, these guys called me a few days ago and told me they can guarantee a few gifts a week because they thought i was still involved in gifting, make a long story short i almost fell for it, i made an advance of $600 and was supposed to send a check by Fedex. After i got off the phone with the guy, i went online to check them out, that’s when i found YOU GUYS, thanks a bunch because the following day i called them back and they tried to do the same thing they do to everybody else, they transfered me from people to people. THE fEDEX GUY CAME AND I GAVE HIM NOTHING. i called the company back and i told them i was not going to go through and i needed my money back, i told them i would get back to them once i have the money in Full just so they would not argue with me. I’m expecting the money in my account within a couple of days. I am so glad i saw this before i actually went THROUGH because i honestly did fall for it when they called me.
Thanks Guys and sorry for all those who got scammed.
Great post! You might want to follow up to this topic?!?

I probably should. I just recently had one of their sales people call me using one of their other company names “Business Development Institute”. Same scam artists.
Well, wouldn’t you know it, I almost got bit too! I don’t have the money right now to get bit, and as I type this, my phone is ringing, and I’m not answering. Twice! Thankfully I put Benjamin off and told him I needed to find room on a credit card, and I took some time to look around and found this site. Saved!!!! Woo Hoo, thanks all for your postings. As of this writing they have 57 complaints in 36 months with the BBB with a D+ rating. I’m taking a shot in the dark here that this isn’t helping business much.
I too found him pushy and he knows all the tactics in selling and closing. I’m so grateful to all of you for posting, and this is going into my gratitudes list for today.
I’ve recently started a blog, the information you provide on this site has helped me tremendously. Thank you for all of your time & work.
Don’t believe Findyoursearch.com, I just wasted 30 mins trying to get out of a phone call geez I was trying to get the price out of them and then they’d give me 4 more minutes of persuasion. If I had the $2000 I prob would have signed up and been taken advantage of but when I told the southern gal I was broke from taxes she put me on hold! Thank goodness… I could hang up! Lol
I still get calls from them too. They change their company name like people change their socks.
Hello!
So I have the exact experience as everyone else. Foolish to fall for it.
After researching online, and physically calling one of their testimonials (the woman said they ripped her off and stole her positive testimonial from another site). I called my cc and did the dispute thing within an hour, and called find your search back within 4 hours to tell them what I discovered and that I wasn’t going to do business with them.
They transferred me around, and told me more lies like everyone else. They called me non-stop for months. My credit card company withdrew the charges immediately, but this guy Mr.Gibson and Al from find your search are saying it’s only temporary and that I’ll have to go to Nevada and get a lawyer etc.
At this point, I’m not sure what to believe. I’ve been doing lots of research on their history to prepare my case if I need one. They already know who I am and how to contact me so I don’t mind putting it on here for anyone who has been through this and has any information they would like to send me.
It would be greatly appreciated.

I wish you could have found my blog post or others like it before you had the displeasure of dealing with these Urchins. As for going to court? I would not worry about it. Lawyers are very expensive and these low life’s won’t spend the money on it. If they do, call their bluff and go after them with a Class Action Lawsuit Lawyer. You will win. The court may even shut down their boiler room. These scumbags don’t want to be in a court room.
