the only thing that does is piss off a fool when you see the 37 locations of the douchie chain in the area destroying your chance of getting any action AND they get it for free.

HONESTLY I'm getting TIRED of HACKS claiming to be PROS IN THE FIELD. A giant crustacean from the paleolithic era could come up with fresher ideas of screwing a fool out of money.

I have received a credit for the long distance "leads" and now will only get leads from specific selected zipcodes going forward.

I am not pleased with the lead fee increase from $3 to $4/lead and the imposition of a new $10 monthly service fee. I will, however, continue to test the program through August and reevaluate it then.

With the addition of the $10 monthly fee, this may work as a "busy season only" advertising program. Paying to fish in the off-season probably won't work for us.

A $10 fee for putting up a website? LOL!

So I put up a website and charge cats $10 a month for what now?

You pay for the scam...er leads, whats the $10 for?

I applaud Jim for seeing this to the end but GOD DAM I've never seen such nonsense before...well I have but this is crazy.

Just keep gouging the little guy and sending out fake emails with everyone 1.9miles from your place.

They don't understand that McDonalds $1 menu is making them the most profitable fast food chain in the country.

tanningnearyou can get a clue or watch their clients cancel. Do they think it's better to get the fast buck rather than the long term dollar? Apparently so.

After canceling, will most former clients reactivate next season?

I don't know.

What I do know is that that would not be a concern if happy clients never go away.

These guys dont have enough sense to vary the details in their scam emails. Or is it that they dont have enough respect to lie to us more creativly?

i got that email too....she's 1.9miles from you. How many kilometres is that because i'm in Canada and you can't search Canadian salons on the website. Unless they meant 1.9km (Kilomiles, yes that's a new one 1,900 miles). Those leads MUST be genuine since i'm getting them in Canada. For sure it's not a spam message that i'm getting because i'm a tanning salon and my email address is posted online and they just searched it and sent it out to me not even looking what country i'm in. I wan to see if any people in Australia are getting contacts 1.9 miles away too......Must be real. I should contact them and sign up.

OMG I have been trying to contact someone all week. I told them not to send me anymore contacts until my account was straightened out and they keep sending them to me. Now I have to prove to them I am who I say I am before they will do anything. I signed up with these people because of Rick and now he will not call me back. I tried to call his office today and could not even leave a message. The mail box was full.

We signed up because of Rick as well. Then when they started charging $10 monthly fee on top of the referrals really made me mad. Rep sd we were given notice of rate changes in our invoices etc....Emailed our concerns last week to Rick, no reply.

I can see charging a $10 fee to cover cost but if you are paying a lot each month on referrals then there shouldn't be a $10 fee as cost are being covered. Maybe a xx min each month or the fee is charged. None one wanted to reply or discuss. We cancelled.

This has nothing to do with MR. If you want to know about the approval process of MRI then contact Max. His email address and phone numbers are available to anyone.
