“This company are the worst company I have ever had to deal with. They don't listen. Unable to get through via the telephone. Advert took months to get out as they kept making the same mistakes. Agreed to pay via invoice but once signed they changed their minds and gave us 2/3 days to pay.
This was a waste of time and a waste of money.”
“A bunch of SCAMMERS trying their best to make their illegitimate business sone money, while trying to operate within the restrictions of the legal realm
DO NOT FALL FOR THEIR COURT SCARING TACTICS!
I didnt receive anything I was promised, the ad was poor quality and they started taking their monthly DD in June, I didnt approve my ad until 3rd July, I CANCELLED LED MY DD, until we got it sorted.
Instead of the ad that I was promised a £100 plus VAT, I got brushed over to this debt collection agency, if you do a company check, you'll see the married owners and the registered address.
If we all counter their scare tactics, we would win without a doubt!
Everyone that paid money to them, tell me how much you paid in total, what the name of your company and a brief statement of what they owe you this money.
My website is www.lashes888studiobelfast.com
My company is Lashes 888 Studio Ltd, based in Belfast, email, text me or ring me, happy to talk to you. YOU & I willl be the claimants.
I paid £300 deposit, I want this back for not providing the service they provided. £1000 for loss of earnings as I've had to find another ad agency and finally £5000 for a poor representation on my company until July 3rd.
I then found out a v poorly designed ad had been running since June. I told them to stop running my ad at the end of june and that's when they used their SCARE TACTICS, no judge would ever make a small business like mine pay for 2 years of advertising plus hidden fees. Not a chance!
I have evidence of a tiny blue screen, that patients sit with their back to, it's laughable.
Look forward to hearing from you ALL.

“Conmen and liars. Daniel Morne (spelling may be wrong) posing as someone from a local medical practice, pretending to be interested in my business for the “new website”. Set up a zoom meeting with his colleague John Sayer. Trying to rope me into some tacky looking advert on an even tackier looking screen for TWO years! When I mentioned I was here to talk about the website as per Daniel’s voicemail, he got very flustered and pretended not to know what I was talking about. Didn’t think hearing the voicemail would “achieve anything”. What a slime ball. Luckily I am not desperate for clients unlike them. If you have to lie about what you are selling then do you even believe in what you’re selling? No is the short answer. Bad luck, Daniel and John. P.S the fact your number comes up as Blackpool when you claim to work down the road was the first giveaway. Try harder.”
“Absolute scam - the service is terrible - my ads keep moving around and not working and they won't let me cancel. Do not sign up for this advertising scam. The sales guy was great and promised loads but its all a waste of time and a lot of money to have wasted over the last 2 years. If I could leave 0 stars I would. Avoid at all costs!”
“Zero Star Review ... SCAM
Zero Star Review .... DO NOT SIGN ... Experience of this Company informs to believe that all the Bad Reviews are truthful, and the 5 star Reviews are fakes. On so many Review sites. Both, Direct Digital, and Multimedia Int. Services Ltd .
Very bad experience here, like many other ppl. Thinking back. I could cry ! Never again. Trying extorting money not owed. Harassment it is. Appalling.
Have nothing to do with them. Also true, they try to stop bad reviews, that are truth.
Report them to the Authorities for full investigation”
“If I could only give less than 1star I would, t scammed us like others , I asked so many times to cancel my contract sending them emails but it looks it's too late for me they will roll me for another year because they require 6months notice and you have to send a letter in 21st century.scammers.they will give you iPad to sign contract and after they are coming back to the office to change the terms and fake your signatures.you will not get your copy till it's court time.”
“I used them here in the USA. They ran my ad near my office for the first few months, then moved them to out of state. I do not have offices out of state. They claimed this was within the terms I agreed upon, but come on. Why do that to a business you know has only one office. trash company just trying to take easy money.”
“This company is a joke! Stay clear of these absolute con artists. Nearly one year after signing the contract from a man called John Sayer and we still have no advert. Do not pay them a penny!”
“Absolute scam ! False information on signing their hideous contract under pressure. The advert had nothing to do withy business and trying to charge me more than the sales man said !
I have not paid them as iam not happy with the whole thing . Tried to speak to them about my situation but they are now threatening me with court / bailiffs.
Do not be fooled amd do not sign anything.”
“These people contacted me when I first opened my business 4 years ago. They called non stop. They claimed to run ads at a hotel nonstop. And that anyone that wanted to get serviced at my business would be able to take a van straight to my business. After a guy came and had me sign paper work and get my info.. I decided to call the hotel which had there digital screen. They told me they did not have a van that would take guests to businesses. They straight up will tell you anything to get you to sign the paperwork. They are a bait and switch scam artist company. Luckily the idiot that got my info didn’t get my credit card info correctly. They will continue to harass until they get there money. Terrible terrible people.”
“AVOID AT ALL COSTS. They are complete scammers who steal your money and don't do anything for you. No responses to phone calls or emails. They took £400 deposit from me without making any advertisements for me.”
“This company are a totally rip off (we never got a customer when the add was running)
The shop (Post office Sudbury) closed and our add was going 14 miles away
We could not cancel as per small print. Thought this treatment was dead but sadly companies like this are still out there. My advice read every line as small print is a total rip off and you have to give 6 months notice to terminate before term end . That is a total rip off. I then told them my daughter who took the add out has just lost her son and they still charged us to cancel.
Disgusting and i will spread these words until the day i die, you just cant treat people like this. Once they have your money they never answer the phone until you cancel the direct debit.
Please i welcome a response to this my email is kimwhymark@gmail.com Never have we been treated like this in 25 years.
Total waste of time and if you are considering to advertise with these people think again or burn your money as this will probably get a better response.”
“Wish I had read the reviews before I signed the agreement. Terrible company to deal with. Avoid at all costs! I am an Osteopath and agreed to place an advert before the Covid pandemic in a medical practice. By the time the proofs had arrived we all went into lockdown and therefore GP practices were all closed. I tried to phone and email to cancel the advert or at the very least to discuss things. Absolutely no response. The without my knowledge they went ahead with the advert in another location which was no good to me. Had no business from the advert and they refused to make any concession on the price. I took legal advice but was informed the contract means they can pretty much do as they like.”
“Do not go near them. Check out the multimedia international scam Facebook page. 83 businesses involved trying to get their money back. Go under many names”
“Avoid. Horrible service, no communication, no one replies tp your emails or phone calls. Absolutely fraud. Scammers.. 6 months in contract - no material provided. They actualy sent me PDf - something that 12y old would create. Tried to cancel and dispute the initial payment.”
“Hi every one
I am writing this review behalf of our business at Canada, Guelph, Ontario. We are family and small owned business . We had their sale person named : Cornehus Oconnor at our location , they tied us into a 2 year contract in locations that even don't have equipment to run the ads and they were aware of it clearly . We tried very hard to contact them via email, phone calls but never received proper answer and they are very unprofessional and responsive . That was terrible mistake to trust DIRECT DIGITAL as they are scammers .Here I include their sale person's picture to avoid any other scammers and prevent same bad experience for others. See the picture of sale person too. Remember his face.
Please be aware of this SCAMMERS.,...”
“AVOID AVOID AVOID
The salesmen are conmen they lure you in with incorrect pricing and absolute smoke and mirrors.
The company do not respond to emails or phone calls, tied into a 2 year contract and have to design my own ad which I imagine will never see the light of day.
The ad they provided was DISGUSTING spelling mistakes, grammar incorrect, wrong designs just absolutely shocking...these are not graphic designers!!!!
I signed up in December received this terrible excuse for an ad in March!
They are rude, ignorant rob dogs
I have asked who their regulating body is no response. They also don't seem to have a timescale for dealing with complaints
JOHN SAYER was the rep who visited me
I am a small business and really believed the nonsense and how it would benefit me, and now I need to find time to make an ad as their graphic designers can't
Just save yourself the stress, tears and frustration if dealing with them.
You have more chance if plaiting fog than getting a professional service or response from them”
