Launch Your Leads Scam

Tonya English
Posted

I’m considering hiring an attorney for a class action suit against the scammers from Launch Your Leads that take thousands of dollars and then you never hear from them. Their previous company Amplify My Business has the same horrible reviews and scam so they closed down and started the new scam called Launch Your Leads managed by Matt and Tom Mclleland. If anyone else here has been duped by these scammers, please reply.

 Can you go into more details about how you were scammed?

    My company signed up and paid $12,000 upfront plus months $1,500 advertising. This company completely falsified any work or outcomes. In 7 months, they have not produced ONE lead to close as guaranteed on their website (Launch Your Leads…LYL) A background  was performed prior to signing up, but we had no idea they were doing previous fraudulent scams under another name called Amplify My Business . Google it on the BBB to read for yourself.

    Did you not get any leads or did you not get the kind of leads you was anticipating?
    i’m not saying these people are not scams because I have no idea. I do know that unless a person knows what they’re looking for and how to close, it can take a lot of leads to get a deal to the finish line.

    He is currently providing direct attention to our issue of finding and closing deals. Tom has been very responsive to our concerns. We are starting from scratch on this business relationship and hopefully this will go as promised. I will keep you posted on any future developments.”

    I spoke with them about their VIP program out of curiosity. They claim they do all of the marketing, connect with the leads, negotiate the deal, and close it. After closing they split profits 50/50 with you. The cost of the program is 35K upfront and then approximately $3500/mo for all marketing. They guarantee 200K in revenue per year. I ultimately did not do it but I'd be interested to hear if anyone tried that program or knows of anyone who did.

    Cool, it’s great that you gave clarity.

    edit: wow so they wanted $3500? ok. still worth considering ASSUMING it's legit.

     I was seriously considering this one too. I spoke to them but didn't go for it because I wanted to get my funding first. They also want you to spend on ads around $1500 so initial total investment is around $60,000, but NOW it's +$15,000 since the new year. 

    I was still considering this today.

    I am also a VIP member. 7 months no results. I have voiced several concerns with no responses. I asked for ad copy and accountability of all adds and money I spent, only to be ignored. I believe a large amount of our ad spend was spent to advertise the program. After voicing that I will be hiring an attorney and filing a compliant with the Utah Division of Consumer Protection all my ad spend was cut off without warning to make it look like I violating the agreement and I was also locked out of some areas CRM system. I am starting the legal process as we speak and depending how many more we can make this a class action law suit.

     This is not surprising. Most gurus who scam people have very fine print allowing them to cut you off for calling them out. See it everyday!

    Nice cordial people who mean well, but had the program for a year and they didn’t produce even 1 hot lead let alone a contract.
