This astounded me as I have never been contacted by any member of Focus Group over the past 15 years. What interaction between us could result in the “Valued Client” relationship. I’ve not received any support from them, “perhaps” they are benefiting as my service provider, which I am most unhappy with.
I definitely do not accept their best birthday wishes and would prefer if they resign as my service provider, if any.
It’s unfortunate that the reviews do not provide a ‘0’ review, as that is what they deserve.
