SCAMMERS/RIPPERS 2011:
RIPOFF REPORT #1: (AMERICA*NT): We personally sent 400$ in a MoneyGram money order to this "professional" company in the hopes of getting hooked up with what they had advertised as a daily data feed for Bizop and other categories. What we got was: 1 month of over 1 year old coreg data, which we already had, and a refusal to refund our money. Please don't be fooled by them like we were.
SCAMMER REPORT #1: (Opt*nPLU$): We personally sent a 1200$ payment in the hopes of getting a special new feed from their company. Talked to the owner through phone, email, SKYPE, and even talked to the secretary often. As soon as the credit card payment went through (XO*M.COM - Pay Processor), the company salesman went silent; probably on a trip to VEGAS with our money. We tried over 10 times in 4 days to reach the sales representative handling our data feed account, and the secretary even covered for him several times, saying that he was "unavailable... but if you'd like to leave a(nother) message... like 15 of them". This company for some reason has a seemingly solid reputation in the data industry, and for the life of me, I can't figure out why. Their data is not even as complete as the same sources and collections we receive here at Data4marketers. Please avoid this pitfall at all costs!
RIPOFF REPORT #2: (Dat*Stre*mGRP): Originally, this company wanted 2500$ for two data feeds. We agreed on 1500$, but when it came to delivery time, they with-held the second (and most important) feed, in the excuse of "a reduced price", which they rationalized as a reason for only giving us half of the data feeds we agreed on. Thank goodness we used a credit card, and didn't send them a bank wire (as they suggested), or we would've never gotten our money back from this ripoff. Remember to use credit with brokers so that if something goes wrong, you can always perform a chargeback!
RIPOFF REPORT #3: (Begin M*rket*ng): For most of the entire year of 2010, we did business with this company on a monthly basis as a known reseller for 11 total months before they totally cut us off from all of their data feeds (and this was just 3 DAYS after making a 1700$ PayPal payment to them for the next month's worth of data). They claimed that we "oversold" their data (most likely lost clients that switched over to use because we had more reasonable and cheaper rates on the same feeds that their company offered), but the truth is they would say anything as an excuse to cloud the fact: they took our 1700$ and gave us only 3 days worth of feed data. Be carefull in dealing with them (if you have to). This was a BIG loss and a BIG lesson to us.

RIPOFF REPORT #7 (jeffrey.marketing@gmail.com) RevShare scammer: Jeffrey "LoanMod"
After weeks of promising a commission check for some Loan Mod related data, we never recieved anything, despite the story that i've accumulated over 1300$ profit from working with thier company. So, this unscrupulous individual has been getting free data with no intent of working together as originally agreed on. Please be careful in your dealings!
