They have a slick website, claiming to have raised funds for several medium sized campaign. But their blog has not been updated in over a year: https://medium.com/crowdreach.

Red flag #1. Also, the reviews on their website are paragraphs that they wrote themselves. Red flag #2.

But they claim to be performance based, yet require money upfront. I find this to be a common theme with crowdfunding marketing agencies: they say one thing and do another. They all say performance based, and then require payment upfront. Can't trust em, can't work with em.

Yes I see. They all say the money upfront is required for ads... but then you never know what is spent on ads and what is not.

Yeah I don't think there is such a thing as a person working for your for absolute $0 on the promise that you may or may not pay them.

Requiring even a cent upfront seems a bit scammy to me.

Just wanted to update this. I am almost certain they are a scam.

Another failed fraud attempt. My search for a free marketing service continues.

Hi guys,

Rob here, one of the co-founders of CrowdReach. I'd just like to clarify some of the points which have been made.

Firstly, all of the reviews on our site are genuine and I am more than happy to provide anyone with the contact details of our clients to verify.

Secondly, we work 100% on a performance basis and do not charge any upfront fees.

Please feel free to reach out to me personally if you have any questions: rob@crowdreach.co.

I don't see your investors listed on Angel List or CrunchBase. How are you able to afford to cover the costs of your clients advertisements then?

They must only work with small campaigns if they cover the cost of ads for them

Sounds great!
