thefundingtreeus,

That company happens to be a member of the site so if you're going to label them a scam, it'd probably be a good idea to explain what happened first. Maybe they will resolve your issue?

I wouldn't go as far as far to call them a scam, leads aren't verified most of the time as having interest but usually the information is correct in my experience.

[thefundingtreeus]

We paid them in advance for MCA Live Transfer leads and never got any we asked for our money back they said they were going to refunded it and its has been over 30 days and we have not received anything from them. Also we have tried to contact them and they don't answer their phones. So we paid for a service they never delivered!!

That means they are selling records because a lead can be defined as someone with a verified interest who is presently in the market.

[thefundingtreeus]

we paid them in ahead of time and they did not deliver anything at all.. At least they could of send us clients that don't qualify but keeping the money and not sending anything

[GMFunding]

Yeah, I suppose that's true. We ended our ties with them, funded 2 or 3 deals out of the 90 or so "leads" we received.

[Eric S]

Retracted. Was thinking of another source.

[Jared_Weitz]

Not too many people have real/good leads these days.........

A lead is a user who Opts into a specific promotion because they have sincere interest. The problem with that is - a lot of online advertisers will offer incentives to users to "Opt in" to offers even if they are not interested.
If you ever see a "Free Ipad" or "Enter to win a years worth of Gas!" following those first pages (Which usually ask for an email address and at the bottom show disclaimers and T's and C's along with a box checked saying that the person entering their email address opts in to receive ...)
The next page then asks for address and additional information in order to qualify for prize you will never win - the advertiser will have people "opting in" to their offers who arent even interested in the least (and who probably didnt even read what they checked off!).

So, yeah - too many leads way too quickly are usually bs and not worth anything but a headache.

Freddy, you addressed what is often pointed out as a major pitfall of affiliate marketing, incentivized traffic.

One of the oldest tricks in the affiliate marketing book is " Make 20 Dollars for this market research survey" They have you take a survey that they throw into the garbage and make you opt in to one of 3 or 4 offers. The offers are paying the affiliate marketer $30 - 60 per opt in. So even with a 20 dollar pay out consumer, they are still making a margin. It does no one any good, other than the affiliate marketer that is.
