I could write so much on this company, but the biggest thing is that I am just so dissappointed, frustrated and realistically broke. I work for a mortgage company and spent $979 on marketing with these people... By myself, for my own personal business and for over two months I have not made a single penny because they have NOT PROVIDED ME WITH ONE SINGLE QUALITY LEAD and becase I havent been able to just get my money back, I have no other money to invest elewhere.
This all started the middle of February. I contacted someone in sales ONE TIME. After talking to her, I said that unfortunately, what Global Inet provides would not work for me because I only do refinancing and I work with people in person so they would have to be in my area... Meaning I would have to know that they are people around the Orlando area. She had said that unfortunately they were only for the whole state of Florida. After calling me more than FIVE more times to "pitch" me on buying leads, she said they would have this amazing new system in place by Monday that would show me the cities before I chose any lead that WOULD BE TELEPHONE VERIFED AND A "HOT" LEAD... SHE ASSURED me that there would be more than enough leads and that I had to hurry and overnight my check to her the very next day so I would be setup and ready to go by Monday.
OVER A WEEK later, their system still did not work, nor did it show any cities before the leads were put in the system... I immediataly was put on the phone with the owner, Steve Blisko, and he said that he had told no one else at that point about the leads having the cities, but that was truly going to be happening. HE ASSURED ME, once again that if I "were family" we would tell me to check the system by Tuesday night and I would start seeing tons of leads that were for refinancing and local to me. THAT WAS A SUCH A JOKE.
Another two weeks later, there were still no leads, and when there were maybe one or two per day, they were nowhere near me. For the first month, the system was never working properly and even to this day, I get random emails that they send to me, which make no sense... Regarding random leads I havent returned or new leads available when they arent there.
Basically After I had gone a couple of weeks, I was already fed up and just wanted my money back. Up until even now their response has always been "we are provding you with sufficient leads"... I have never had one quality lead.
now, this was when thing started to get rediculous... So, finally after a month or so of not actually having any viable leads, I finally just took some that were around the whole state, even though it would be very difficult for me to work with those people due to how my company is set up... But I had to try and get something. When I finally actually got on the phone with some people... They would always be so mad because i was usually at least the 20th person to to call them... I would verify that they only filled out one form and then said yes. Some people had even said that they never did fill ANYTHING out, and had refinanced SIX MONTHS PRIOR. After this happened with at least ten people total, I had NO trust in this company or their leads. They would encourage me to just take leads and if they eneded up being fake or bad, they would just replace them... This is never what I signed up for and never would have had I known prior to giving them my money just exactly what the terms and conditions are with their company.
Every time I would call them they would just give me more leads. Meaning, I started with 50 leads and eventually they got to over 65 leads... But it didnt matter because they were not quality, TELEPHONE VERIFIED LEADS as they had promised. They even switched me to EXCLUSIVE leads and people would still say that tons of people had called them.
You could imagine the last couple of months have been horrible. Not only am I out $979 dollars, I have made no money at ALL, I have spent tens of hours of my time fighting this company... Every single person knows me there and has even told me on the phone that they understand, and agree with me, but because they have paid out so much money in refunds, that they just cant afford to give me my money back.
Well, I have contacted the local District Attorney, the Attornery General, the Better Business Bureau, the City of Jacksonville and the FDA consumer services department. I am just getting started... All I HAVE EVER WANTED WAS MY MONEY BACK so that I could try and spend money on marketing to ascertain business elsewhere.
I have never been rude or mean or unreasonable. However, I can't put into words how frustrated this whole situation has made me. But, I do wonder if others share a similiar story as mine...
