NOTE: This review was just published today (March 15), and relates to events from February. In fairness to this company, the behavior has not been repeated since then.

I received yet another junk robocall from X who says he works in Hershey and Scranton PA, despite repeated warnings that robocalls are not welcome at my number. I asked for his web site and was told it was simple biz, but I called there as well to ensure he was really affiliated with them before I wrote this review. I was told by them that he was the owner. I also called Simple biz's phone number after hours and the recording said "X." The voice was the same, as far as I could tell, as the robocaller's. There is also a video posted by "X" that represents Simple biz. "This is "Simple Biz Indexing" by [X] on Vimeo" which reinforces my belief that this company is in fact the source of the robocalls.

I am also not very impressed with their own web site (my opinion) and I cannot even find an E-mail contact address there to send them a written notice that they are to not call my phone number.

I also understand that X has been confused with another person with the same first name who says his reputation has suffered because he was confused with this robocaller.

I do not have proof of purchase because I don't buy things from robocallers.

A friend set up a WhatsApp group for collaboration purposes, and I downloaded the app onto my computer. When I opened the app, it presented the worthless instructions shown in the screenshot below. It says "Open WhatsApp on your phone" which is impossible on a landline and also a flip cell phone, both of which I have. How anybody could design a laptop or desktop app that somehow requires a phone to operate (other than, for example, two-factor authentication in which a voice message or text message is sent with a code) is beyond me but the bottom line is that this app is completely worthless to many users for the reason shown here. If you want to make sure everybody can participate, select a different collaboration app.
