Number overview
050-3100-9434 is reported as the phone number of a web-development operator introducing itself as "Bizlista." Frequent post-contract disputes have led multiple complainants to discuss class-action litigation.
Reported tactics
- The caller introduces themselves as "Bizlista" and pitches website builds or redesigns
- The handling is polite before signing, but contact becomes difficult after the contract is signed
- The quality of deliverables is reported to differ greatly from what the contract specified
- If you try to cancel, a high-cost penalty is demanded
- Multiple complainants share information on social media and are discussing a class action
Web-development contracts may fall under the phone-solicitation sales category of the Act on Specified Commercial Transactions, in which case cooling-off rights may apply.
How to handle this call
Avoid contracting over the phone
Don't sign a web-development contract from a phone solicitation. If you need a website built, get quotes from several vendors and check their track record and reputation before deciding.
If you've already signed
You can use cooling-off rights within 8 days of receiving the contract document. Contact the Consumer Hotline or Houterasu immediately.
