Based on a telephone solicitation by jennifer m. Jordon, who identifies herself as the national manager of qazzoo.com, i purchased a one month subscription to the qazzoo.com service for realtors which purports to provide contact information for individuals who are actively seeking to buy or sell homes. At the time i subscribed to the service, i was told "you are guaranteed 100% correct contact information or your money back." this promise was documented in an email from ms. Jordan. When i began using the service, i found that none of the contact information for the purported leads was correct and that the qazzoo service was absolutely useless. I called ms. Jordon and asked for a refund of my money as promised in her email. She referred me to bill hann. When i asked for a refund of my subscription price, mr. Hann emphatically told me that payments for the service were not refundable and refused to honor the money back guarantee promised by ms. Jordon.
Another issue is that ms. Jordon wrote in her email that the service package i purchased would run for one month and specified an end date. However, a later email describing the qazzoo terms of service provides that if not cancelled the subscription will automatically renew, an apparent attempt to dupe the unsuspecting.
In 2007 michael urbanski, the founder of qazzoo, and several companies owned by him, were fined by the maryland attorney general for employing similar deceptive business practices. A copy of the attorney general’s press release regarding the settlement can be found at www.Oag.State.Md.Us/press/2007/092807.Htm. The parent company of the group of companies that was fined, heavy hammer, inc., is the parent of qazzoo, inc. I recommend avoiding all companies affiliated with heavy hammer, inc. And all other companies affiliated with michael urbanski. Heavy hammer, inc. Operates out of an office at 65 old solomons island road, suite 208, annapolis, maryland. I would treat any company having that address as suspect.
Qazzoo.com refuses to answer direct questions Internet
I was contacted by Qazzoo.com to sell me "leads" for sales, and was told that they could even offer consumers' credit information to verify that the buyers and sellers were viable leads, and that most of their information comes from social media sites. When I asked what software they were using to collect information about buyers and sellers from social media sites, the conversation got contentious. I was transferred to the "National Sales Manager", Ryan Stevenson, who refused to answer my questions and would not connect me with their IT person to give me answers.
I told Ryan Stevenson that I wanted to check out their program with a code scanner, and that is when he got huffy and hostile. I wanted to know what guarantees they had that they were able to protect their information from hackers, and although Mr. Stevenson denied that they could ever be hacked and that their information is "just names and emails but no credit card information", he still would not answer my questions about the steps they were taking to back up those assurances.
I have since that time found out that Qazzoo.com does not have a good reputation for the claims they make on the services they sell, and that there is little or no value in the type of information they are selling. Fortunately, I did not buy into their service and wish to share my experience.
Qazzoo.com Jennifer Jordan Bad Mortgage leads Annapolis Maryland
I purchased a one month package of so-called "mortgage leads" from Jennifer Jordan with Qazzoo.com. I realized quickly that the people filling out the information are not interested in a mortgage. When I reached out to Jennifer to find how she was getting this information, she did not respond. Out of the 48 leads I received only two answered their phone and only one replied by email and none of them were interested in a mortgage. Also at the end of my month I was shocked to see Jennifer had set me up on a monthly subscription which debited my credit card without my permission. I may have to get Visa involved to get that money refunded.
The 1 star was for their bottom feeding business model, not your review. Is this something that you were able to have Visa resolve? I've been scammed once in the past by something very similar, if not the same, and I am wondering if we can file charges against them? I am sick of people in our industry getting scammed by the soul-less crooks who prey on people trying to make an honest living after we have all had our asses kicked financially only a few years back. Tell me where to sign if they leave any records of bait and switch that we can use in a suit.
Qazzoo.com www.qazzoo.com Unfair and Deceptive Maryland Internet
Purchased a monthly subscription to Qazzoo and cancelled on September 10, 2014. Have currently been billed for October and November after calling to cancel. Ryan - a representative - or perhaps site owner - refused a refund.
My experience is that Qazzoo is very difficult to deal with and furnished me with no leads. Save your money, time and frustration. A very poor investment from my prospective, and I have been a realtor for 27 years. I took this service because I moved to a new state and wanted to generate leads. The only thing I generated was a loss of my own capital.
Qazzoo.com Extremely deceiving sales tactics; Promises made but not kept; Absolute SCAM, Not 1 person was real. Internet
Being new to the real estate industry, I can't tell you how happy I was to have someone call me to tell me they have clients to refer to me in my neighborhood. I was assured that the leads have been qualified and are 99% good and that for just $149 I can pick 20 leads. I was excited to try the service but now know to always check this website before committing to an unsolicited sales call from an unknown company.
EVERY SINGLE LEAD IS FAKE! I receive constant emails all day, cramming my mailbox, announcing new leads when it's the same super strange looking people or photos of inannimate objects with numbers that don't jive. They make $500k a year but are looking for a house under $200k or they make $40k a year and are looking for a million dollar home. The photos are beyond strange. You have to wonder if these people even know their photos are being used on this totally bogus site.
Qazzoo is a TOTAL SCAM and I can only hope that those ripping everyone off will get their just dessert one day. I just can't believe that a scam like this hasn't already been stopped by the feds.
Qazzoo Deceptive fraudulent lead generation for Realtors Nationwide
Promised and no delivery. This company is a rip off. Promising leads via the internet.Leads that I contacted either never have contacted this company, or are not in need of a realtor, or are not the person displayed on the photo and never provided a photo. The majority of ads I have received were leads with applicants offering 20,000 to 25,000 down payment on a $500,000 and over property. Some even posted that they were looking for a million plus property with $20,000 cash.
Initially whenI talked to one of the representatives I was told that one of their leads recently was by passed by one realtor and the other realtor called immediately and gained a 30 million dollar sale. This was to encourage my to call asap. Which is within their right and the normal process of working with leads, only the majority were fake leads.
I requested my money back and never heard from that company again. All Realtors should be very aware of that outfit. They should not be in business.
