One of the biggest scams out there. All the the phony email addresses and the charges by this company, make one wonder how Rick can still support this scam of a business. I too, tried it, and soon learned that the leads just didn't exist.

So 2 weeks ago I allowed Adam to talk me into 'looking' into this 1 more time(obviously before reading through this whole thread). He sent me my login information & password. Never looked at the email until yesterday after posting on this thread.
I went ahead & tried to login & the Terms of Service pops up. I read through them as Eileen said to do. I DO Not agree to their terms, so I clicked out of their website. I emailed Adam back telling him I am not interested in their services and asked him NOT to contact me again-if so, I would consider it harassment. I also mentioned that if I am charged for anything I would consider it fraud & contact my bank. Well, I was charged either a full $20 or 2 $10 charges on my account(not sure yet) & I never re-signed the authorization form he sent me. i sent another email to him & to support, so we'll see if I get my refund or not.
Now before some of you go off on me, I take some responsibility for this situation because I did agree to 'look at it' again, but I didn't agree to the charges. My 'stupidity'!!! ugh!!

Have these douches been dealt with yet or is this another approved service by the ITA that does everything to rip a fool off?

Besy part is they never return calls or take calls ---Rick you and your so called service stink and we should all file complaints against you---be a man and return calls and stop scamming the people that had faith in you.

I too trusted Rick and went forward with this. This does not even seem like anything he would do. I just don`t understand. I have always trusted Rick. I guess you never know.

I think Rick is making some quick cash before the industry collapses.

Out of the 20 or so 'leads' we got and paid for, we signed up about 8 people from those as first time customers.
It worked for us, but who knows if we might have gotten them without paying for the lead, since we pay good money for google adwords.
The tough part was, yes, there was supposed to be verification of the email address, but there were fake names put in there, so I couldn't tell who did sign up, since we can't look up by email address thru Sunlync.
Overall, I wold say... what? they're out of business? Oh. Nevermind.
