“It’s amazing that on-line publishing networks will run our ads on web sites, with no quality checking. These web site operators will then commit white page fraud. They take names from the white pages, fill out our lead forms and send the leads along in order to collect. The lead will show as “valid” against any automated checking such as consistency between the address, phone numbers and name. The only problem is that the consumer did not fill out the on-line form,” reports Bob Richards at Prospect Match. Visit http://www.prospect-
The firm found that the only way to check each lead is to call the consumer as soon as the lead arrives. “This would not be possible without the Internet and the lower costs provide by outsourcing abroad. We are able to provide a firm on the other side of the planet a window to our database to call each lead as it arrives. The consumer may still be sitting at their PC. Any bogus lead can be immediately screened out before it gets passed on to a financial professional,”
Richards adds, “I hope this type of proactive move by firms like ours will provide the publishing networks, some of them public companies, on notice that garbage information will no longer be tolerated.Visit http://prospect-
