Leadco Out Of Business ?

CHUMPS FROM OXFORD · 10-14-2008, 10:26 AM

Just wondering. I notice their lead count has dropped like a rock. I also sent them two emails asking if they were "out of business?" and got no replies.

Were you endorsing them in your association... I'm sure with 75,000+ members, your association alone swamped them...

Actually, we don't endorse any lead companies in the association.

In fact, we don't endorse any insurance-related items, so that there is no conflict of interest.

However, we do endorse political candidates in Third-World countries.

Oh...and we're down to 62,000 members. The economy has hit us as well!

I just recently put $125 into my account with them and I had the same issue as well. leads were trickling in to say the least. Called them yesterday and spoke with someone about this and they said they would look into it. About 15 minutes later i got 3 leads within 5 minutes. Called them all and all of them had just been online trying to get a free Ipod. I looked at the lead sheets and found something on there that i had never seen before. it showed me their exact income level. so I went back and looked at all the leads I had recieved from them since i dropped money into my account witht them and sure enough I had a total of 8 leads that had the same thing. And the other 5 I could never get in touch with.

Of all the leads I have recieved from leadco it's never once showed me the exact income level. i know that to some of you this may sound like I am Humphry Bogart trying to find the missing keys on the USS Caine. I called them back yesterday and left a message exapaing what 3 clients told me and I have not recieved a call back from them. So if you get any leads from them that show their exact income level it may very well be have been generated from a site offering a free ipod

A fool is soon to part with his money

Well, isn't that just like a lead company? Create alliances with other businesses and then resell the lead for miscellaneous purposes. Way back it was a computer. Guess the ipod is just the flava of the day!

I imagine quite a few of those can no longer afford the dues.

Wait a minute! Do you mean I didn't have to pay to join?

Rick...unfortunately, you joined the association under the old contract. But $50 per year isn't bad. And remember...you did win a pair of Raiders season tickets this year. Those were worth...well...oh, never mind.

Hummm.....

I still think Leadco is out of business. Three calls and three emails...and no response.

A lead company is only out of business for sure when they no longer charge your card for anything.....

fostever · 10-24-2008, 07:29 PM

Not out of business. I just talked to Kevin yesterday.

CHUMPS FROM OXFORD · 10-24-2008, 07:39 PM

Strange though. I was getting 2-3 leads per day. Then, all of a sudden...nothing for a week or two. I have since turned "off" my leads.

Very strange. It seemed as if the source of their leads had changed about 3-4 months ago.

Chumps is hereby appointed to investigate before adding to
Rumors and speculation and report back to this forum as Leadco has in the past been honorable and of the highest integrity for a lead source. They deserve a break. Chumps should be top investigator as they could put Leadco in the same position Chumps has put the stock market, with the power 65,000.

I feel bad about what I did to the stock market. I sold all of my TIVO shares (500 of them) and the market collapsed after my transaction.
