3 day loans??? (3dayloans.com) Received a fax and gave them a call and "Client Services" picked up with a familiar voice. Unfortunately, they had called ID and they caught me!!!

I guess no one knows? I received a business loan fax and was just curios of the mysterious landing pages.

I've been getting faxes from them every few months for the last 2 years. seems like the landing page changes every few months wonder what the response rate is. I use to fax blast years back before the laws chained for another product and the phones would ring off the hook.

Merchant Quest relied almost entirely on fax blasting. They would change their fax blast name and phone # every few months. I don't know if they still do that. Are they even still around?

Can you say "illegal"! lol

I have to admit, I used it for about 4 years (different industry) up until 2011 and legalities aside, IT WORKED GREAT!! Don't get me wrong, the Owner only got a 0.5-1% return on the faxes sent out, but the close ratio for me was ridiculous! Even the average Sales rep there was closing 30% of their leads. We actually went 2 years without getting a fine, but once we did they came constantly and we did change names/location. We also started using more email marketing. I would love to see how a fax blast/direct mail campaign would work in the MCA space, but NOBODY will do a fax blast anymore, so I guess I'll have to just wonder.....

With faxes going directly to email I would assume the response rate is much less. I receive a marketing fax and simply delete them. Either way with the fines being 1000 per unsolicited fax not worth the risk.

Yup....fax blasts nothing but a memory at this point.

I figured as a marketing strategy it was pointless... They had a check print made out to "Your Business" for "$50,000". What really sparked my curiosity is that they offer $5k-$250k and have terms up to 18 months and states they are a "True Business Loan; NOT* a Merchant Cash Advance". I asked to speak to someone in their BD department but they didn't seem happy that I was scoping them out. Oh well... I guess they don't need any more business because they get so much through their fax marketing!
