Social media has provided entrepreneurs around the world with an opportunity to quickly build a brand and connect with paying customers around the world. The problem is that not everyone is what they seem.
In a world full of filters and Photoshop, it’s easy to hide your real face. The rise of technology has allowed many people to hide who they really are by impersonating someone else. The same was true for entrepreneurs and businesses. Jeffrey Krammer, founder of Distinguished Agency and The Amazon Group, is the perfect example of someone who used social media to manipulate and scam people who paid him.
Distinguished Agency is a digital marketing agency that branded itself with “the intention to help clients distinguish their brand from others”. Founded by self-styled South Florida philanthropist Jeff Krammer, Distinguished Agency had earned a reputation as the go-to agency for businesses and individuals looking to boost their online presence. The problem is that they don’t.
Broken promises
Krammer has made many important statements about his company. In the past year, he has raised more than $250,000 from customers who expected him to honor their claims. Whether it’s follower growth, PR services, or other social media consulting services, he’s proven that his word means nothing. Several of his clients complained that he not only failed to deliver on his promises, but also failed to make up for it. A customer we were able to reach shared his frustration. “He doesn’t communicate, refuses to provide facts or proof of his work, and makes no effort to reimburse us.” If it happened once or twice, that wouldn’t be ideal, but it might be understandable as a mistake, but keeping over $250,000 without performing the promised service is just not a good deal.
Is it a family affair?
A quick Google search shows you that Jeff isn’t the only Krammer involved in his business. Pamela Krammer and Michael Krammer are listed as her partners. While it’s unclear if they’re involved in the Jeff Krammers scams, it does raise a few questions. Is the scam a family affair? Are they unaware of their parent’s actions? Why didn’t they contact him? Whether they’re involved or not, Krammer’s name is unfortunately a red flag for anyone looking to work with an honest contractor.
always look twice
Jeff Krammer took a long time to build his image online. All of his photos show him smiling and trustworthy. His site is filled with countless news articles and great reviews, but that’s just window dressing. Before you buy anything from Krammer or his companies (The Amazon Group and Distinguished Agency), stop. Don’t fall for the big smile and fancy ads is a big scam. Here is a link to his website and instagram so you know what to avoid.
