I was contacted by a company representative named Carl Michaels in August. As a new agent I needed a source of leads to grow my business. I was promised 35 leads for $360 and never got anything. I called up after a month and asked for my money back but was given a hard time. They kept pushing me to give them a few more days but they hadn't gotten me anything so far so I refused.
Long story short, I pursued getting a refund for over a year and a half and never got any money back at all. Each time I called I was given a different story like they would mail it out next week or they already mailed it but it must have gotten lost, etc., etc.
Ultimately, I spoke with the owner Joseph Schiavone who then told me he had a heart attack and was financially broke and couldn't refund the money. He also said that the company was no longer in business.
My advice is to never do business with any company that you can't get SOLID references for. Make sure that whoever is recommending the company is legitimate. There are, unfortunately, many people out there who are simply trying to take your money.
