I bought some sales leads for a Diabetic Medicare client I have been working with from Options Media Group / 1 Touch Marketing. I was given some printed examples of all the high profile clients Options Media Group had provided similar leads for... And was told they could 100% deliver high quality sales leads that my client would love. I was given a warm fuzzy feeling - I had ABSOLUTELY nothing to worry about... This company was the REAL DEAL!
I was asked to pre-pay for the leads and wrote out a nice check for over 12k - with promises that I would have my leads within 72 hours - fresh - qualified - and exclusive to my client. I slept well for the next 3 nights... But those were the LAST good nights sleep I had for more than 3 weeks since.
A week later - the first leads finally trickled in. None of these people were diabetics - and none had Medicare numbers... And all of them asked my client "Why are you calling me?" I was sent a total of 10 non-qualified leads in this first round of delivery.
It was obvious to me at this point - I had just been screwed for almost 12 thousand dollars.
I was then told that I should INSTEAD take their CO-REGISTRATION leads - because these were of excellent quality and were the SAME leads I had been buying from my other suppliers anyway.in absolute desperation, I agreed to take 250 of these leads at the BARGAIN price of 20.00 each -
Two days later - I received an excel file of names and numbers of 250 diabetics with Medicare. I send to my client... And guess what? They are ALL DISCONNECTED and total garbage. I look like a total fool in front of my client - as I watch a very lucrative relationship go straight down the toilet.
So after extensive bitching - screaming - and threats... I was able to recoup $7500 of my 12k investment. The check finally cleared today...
But I just cannot let these crooks steal $5000 dollars from me without a fight.
I am going to take my case to the Better Business Bureau - the Florida Attorney General - and the web using every skill I have acquired in SEO to make sure the world knows that this company is a COMPLETE scam.
I would feel better if someone put a gun to my head and stole my wallet - then having a slick bunch of liars take my money - and get away with it.
I will not sleep well again until I get exactly $5000.00 worth of satisfaction from this experience. So I strongly urge anyone looking for sales leads to please bypass this company and spend your money elsewhere.
