Sure sucks when your merchant gets a call from someone that :represents your company" and has contracts ready to go. Anyone have any tools or tricks to stop people buying apps?

Also are we allowed to shame the brokers who are buying the apps on the forums, or does it happen so often that we wouldn't have enough members left?

Does DF have the official data resellers list setup yet?

redact sensitive contact information from application find out if anyone in your company is selling packages of apps and scrutinize your lender network

Hard to give an absolute on this BUT you can do a few things to lower that possibility. 1) reverse engineer who is leaking your merchants (seeded apps) 2) dont put contact information on apps 3) trim your funder network 4) rinse and repeat

what do you mean by seeded apps?

phone numbers and emails get redacted already

I'm just more curious to see how others handle this, do you just throw your hands up in the air and accept this as part of the industry or is there better alternative?

Seeded meaning use a 1 number per each lender on your app. If you get a call on that number you know whos backdooring your subs.

lets say my merchant name is mjacob from texas . Go make a google voice texas number and an email mjacob@yahoo.com and send it only to one funder you suspect and wait and see . do this to all with diff apps keep yourself a spread sheet so you find out who it is . If it is one of your reps it is alot harder and you need to put the right technology in place .

side note when you get call and responses dont start cursing etc. have fun and string them along for months

This takes enormous self control but well worth it.
