This company provides leads for insurance agents for $18 each and claim theleads are generated from a website form at (http://www.retirement-income.net/) of which they claim is completed by valid users. I believe this claim to be 10% true and 90%fraudulent Here is what I am convincedthey are doing
They first set you up by charging a $149 setup fee (for what?)
Then they charge $18 per lead you commit to in your predefined area You must agree to let them charge your creditcard once a month or every time the lead cost reaches $200. (this happens fastso beware) You can pause your account but only after minimum of 30 days (thisgives them time to get you good)
Then you select a 5,10, 20 or 30 mile radius from your hub area and you cansee how many leads show in your area... They actually have a pretty goodsystem of this, they make sure there are some leads in the hopper (you can seeon line there are leads ready). When you signup and pick the type of leads youwant, you instantly are the proud owner of these leads (they are emailed toyou instantly and guaranteed not older than 7 days (or get this they arepitched) If you purchase those leads, you must leave your account active so you are forced to purchase additional leadsas they come in for 30 days (sorry you cant stop them). This is all crap of course.
Heres the scam:
They guarantee that the leads will have working phone numbers registered tothe person on the lead), address and Name or they will refund your money (SOUNDSGOOD BUT IT'S A CON).
Keep this in mind... They have the website that anyone can visit andcomplete the form with someone's name, address and phone number (these listsare available from any list providers...). That part is true most allleads match real people, phones and addresses but most of them have never fillinganything out on the internet.
THE SCAM I believe they hire people to fill out the online forms formmailing lists in a zip code range and then their sales people contact insuranceagent suckers in the area and tell them they have leads and its about to maketheir sales skyrocket. It's true if thelead is bad (phone number or disconnected) they will credit your account. But, But, But... Even email lists have bad phone numbers or the previous ownersold or moved so thats understandable. Do you get it... Theyre whackingthe sales agents with phony leads and racking up $18 per. ProspectMatch is 10% legit and 90%fraudulent... We need to stop them, please keep these posting going
