Complaint Review: Lion's Share Local

I was first contacted by Lion's Share Local about 3 months ago. The owner, named Joe offered to sell me exclusive leads for our Atlanta based business. As an extra incentive, he also freely offered to optimize my eisting website at no cost if I agreed to purchase leads off of him. I foolishly agreed to this.

Well long story short, this company tried to sell me bogus leads. And unbeknownst to them I am a member of my local contractors association and was talking to my buddy who also is in the same specialty area as I am. Here he too was buying "exclusive" leads from this company in California called Lion's Share Local. Since we were both located in Atlanta it was a very big coincidence.

Come to find out these leads were being sold to at least 2 or 3 other companies in Atlanta and were being marketed as exclusive. When I confronted them about it my website which I had foolishly given them access to suddenly was taken offline and while I can't prove it was Lion's Share Local it is definitely a strange coincidence.

Buyer beware if this company tried to sell you exclusive leads, they probably aren't exclusive at all. Lesson learned the hard way.
