Even more spam from Paul Cerame Kia

If you live in the area of Florissant and are looking for a Kia dealership, I encourage you to avoid Paul Cerame Kia. A business that spams is likely to be dishonest in other areas as well, and who wants to deal with a dishonest Kia dealer?

Why not use the contact form on Paul Cerame Kia’s website to ask them why they consider spamming blogs to be a good idea? Even better, they have a live chat system: perhaps Melissa Roberson or one of their other employees could explain why Paul Cerame Kia is spamming blogs?

If you own a blog and have been getting spam from Paul Cerame Kia, it might not hurt to report them to their domain registrar, Network Solutions. Their website appears to have been designed, and may possibly be hosted, by Dealer.com: why not drop Dealer.com a line and tell them that their client, Paul Cerame Kia, is making them look bad?

Edited to add: it also wouldn’t hurt to file a report with YouTube’s abuse department, since Paul Cerame Kia has a YouTube channel. I won’t link it here, but you should be able to find it pretty easily by searching YouTube.

    As the Internet Manager at Paul Cerame Kia, I assure you our company does not spam comments sections. We recently had an employee be overzealous in marketing themselves and unknowingly hired a personal marketing company who created these ads. Paul Cerame Kia is in no way responsible for these ads, but we’ve made every effort to cease these comments. Please let us know if you see any further comments, as our reputation is extremely important to us. Thank you for making us aware of the situation and we are making every effort to stop these issues from continuing.
