Pricing is not the end all determiner of how I proceed but someone pricing a lead well below what I expect leads to cost does put me aware. Ditto John D.

Another good resource is the Better Business Bureau--who doesn't have good things to say about them either: http://data.renobbb.org/commonreport.html?bid=6011044 Or a Google Search usually gives a good profile of the company's practices: http://www.scam.com/showthread.php?t=24657 My suggestion is to continue to vet lead providers through this blog's forum. The combined group here has bought from and probably personally knows the people behind all of the reputable providers. That is why resources like this are important to the lead buying process.

Target Publishers They are completly bogus. I talked to them on 5/24 and was promised there would be exclusive 35.00 lead. I them sent a telecheck on 5/28...a huge mistake. I was supposed to sart receiving leads on 6/1. On 6/4 I still had not received any leads I then contacted them and they promised I would receive on 6/5. I received 10 Hawaii leads on 6/5. After making contact with 5 of them I realized these are not just bad leads, I'm talking customers that have no idea what you are talking about. Every customer I have talked to had not inquired about a mortgage in over 2 months. This lesson has cost me a nice sum of lead cash, please dont make the same mistake. Email me for any additional info. Dave dgalloway@soundlending.com I hope you will publish some info on this company. Target Publishers They are completly bogus.
