This company RIPPED ME OFF. They charged me for "high quality, pre-qualified to my specs leads", then did NOT deliver anything but a few BOGUS live transferred leads that were worthless and NOT qualified at all. The so called "qualified leads" they transferred did NOT match the requested criteria and nearly every single lead we spoke to had NO IDEA why they were transferred to us! Yet their website states:
"We verify the pertinent and vital components of the consumer's debt situation and confirm that they are actively interested in speaking with a debt counselor."
That's simply NOT true.
The LeadAnswer rep sent over a data file on the transferred lead with debt numbers that must have been totally made up by the rep because the lead (prospect) told us those numbers were not accurate and that the rep did not ask them for any numbers! How's that for "pre-qualifying" a lead!
LeadAnswer states on their website..."Our Live-Transfer customers benefit from 100% debt holder contact ratios with no cold-calling ever involved. Through this tightly controlled process they are experiencing 22-30% closing rates with our service. These debts settlement leads are available to you only as exclusive leads. With no competition and potential clients eagerly waiting for your help, these exclusive debt consolidation leads will yield a minimum debt amount of $10,000 or $15,000, the choice is yours!
Our Live-call transfers utilize a Double-Opt procedure to connect potentially interested borrowers with our customers. The Double-Opt process begins when a potential borrower takes the time to search the internet for information on a loan. After landing on a mortgage website, the borrower completes a basic application that is transferred electronically, real-time, to our call center."
... All BS claims.
The closing rates we got from the lead they sent over... 0%! Zero!
BEWARE of LeadAnswer, and or Tony Gates, the guy will tell you whatever is necessary to extract a large payment from you to "TRY the Service" and then leave you blowing in the wind.
Trying to reach Tony Gates AFTER we paid to find out why the leads were not coming in, and then after a few come through that did NOT match the criteria, and why the leads had no idea why they were talking to us... Only got us one thing... Completely ignored. And no more leads at all! Calls went answered. No call backs. No replies to our many emails and faxes... Tony Gates completely disappeared and ignored us.
LeadAnswer claims you will not be charged for bad or unqualified leads, but they WILL charge you for every bogus lead they send. Even when they do NOT even transfer the lead. Yep they even went so far as to claim the transferred leads to names of people that don't even exist in our company! They just made up names.
As of today, months have passed without a word from them, even after dozens of phone calls, emails and a letters. I have come to understand why they run the business out of PO BOX.
This company's website (LeadAnswer.com) says they are..."One of the premier and nationally recognized leaders in marketing and lead aggregation..." they have a nice looking website but don't let that fool you... They are a SCAM!
