Buying Leads


Beware when Buying leads. About 6 months ago I signed up with an internet Remodel outfit and I only used it once and the lead was garbage.

A short time latter the Company made an unauthorized withdrawl from my account. I will go so far as to say the initials of the referral company are 'RR' on the internet. I have gone to my bank and canceled my credit card to stop them from making further unauthorized grasps at my money. I contacted the referal company via e-mail and by phone and no response. Imagine that!

Re: Buying Leads


Perhaps consider searching this forum about online lead services. I have been using them since 2002 with very good success. Like anything it depends on the service, there are many.

The nice thing about them making charges on your credit card is that it is very easy for you to contest. The burden of proof is then placed on the vendor. If they don't respond to the credit card company they don't get their money back.
