Javelin Marketing - Senior Lead.Com - NF Communications Larry Klein ripoff selling useless, stale leads and representing them as "exclusive" and "fresh" Concord California
Javelin Marketing, also known in a former life as NFCommunications, is the remnant of a supposedly "dissolved" marketing company owned by self-styled "GURU" Larry Klein. Defrocked of his broker status (see:http://www.sec.gov/litigation/opinions/3437835.txt), Klein turned toward selling financial professionals all sorts of systems designed to turn them into to top-tier producers.
He also marketed a so-called SENIOR leads program which touts its leads as being "fresh" and Internet-generated, targeting 55 and older. At $18 per lead, Klein managed to suck thousands out of uninformed insurance agents and reps. The vast majority of these report that the leads were a waste of time, and worse, were generated by third party vendors using deceptive methods to lure "seniors" to their websites.
The entire story can be found at (((ROR REDACTED))) and also at (((ROR REDACTED))), both written by former insiders at NF Communications/Javelin. Most telling are the comments from actual users of Klein's systems and those who were ripped off.
The former company supposedly dissolved on December 16, 2006 and left its clients and vendors in the lurch to the tunes of thousands of dollars.
The company is being investigated by several state authorities and regulatory agencies, including the NASD, FTC, several states' attorneys general, local law enforcement, and local district attorney. In addition, Mastercard, Visa, and American Express have had hundreds of chargebacks and complaints about Klein and his related companies.

It's very clear that you work for this company. On a separate note, I too got scammed by this company. They promised big sales and lots of leads, but they shave off actual leads in their backend reporting system. I did several manual tests from spoofed IP addresses and NONE of them showed up in the reporting system, even though 60% of them were "sales". This company doesn't care about it's customers, it's only worried about squeezing as much money out of you as possible. Buyer be warned!

I have been using Javelin's lead program and of every 10 leads, I get two hot ones with prospects ready to meet. I had my doubts about using the system as I'm not that Internet savvy. My first sale was a $100,000 sale and its quite exciting to have something that works.

When Javelin told me about this commnet, I was happy to take a few minutes and write about my expericne with the company which has been positive in every way. I already write over $7 million a year and am always looking for effective lead programs. When I found Javelin I was obviously skeptical at first. However, after using the system for only three months, I've gotten over 465 leads and have written $2.46 million since 1/9/08, and this includes one case for $1.65 million!
And the most important thing about Javelin Marketing is that they GUARANTEE the exclusivity of these leads. If you meticulously follow the training that Javelin Marketing has outlined on their website, I guarantee you it will work. I have agnets that don't follow up, don't follow the instructions and anyone who wont do that wont have success and they will probably blame everuyone but themself.

This posting is untrue and I beleive published by the company's competition.
You can read comments from loads of advisors who use this service very profitably and there are over 100 advisors who have used the service for over 4 years straight.
This company has nothing to do with NF Communications and I dont even know who that is.
Any liar can post anything on this site with no evidence. Here's the evidence:
