Complaint Review: Ocean City Development LLC

My report is basically the same as the report from Steven. You're led to believe that you're going to be an actual partner with this company. When in fact, you're basically just handing them cash for them to generate "leads" for you. I never receieved the amount of "leads" I was told I would get. I asked Tom to expand my targeted territory, only to be told that it would be too many "leads". Well I wasn't getting enough anyways. The "leads" that I did get were terrible. They were all basically people that WANTED to sell their home but couldn't because they were too far upside down on their home. 

This is the perfect scam, because the poor homeowner thinks that there may be a way out of their particular situation and there isn't. Then you have the scam on my side, in which, the "leads" are absolutely worthless. Tom the owner said I would do better if I had my Real Estate license and said he would get me info to get me started on my license. He said he would have a colleague get with me, never happened. 

Tom puts up a good front, he appears to offer training and he is reachable by email. Usually if you email him though you will not get a good response. The response feels quick and effortless. Usually a response is a quick 1 liner or maybe even just a single word. If you don't ask him a question he will not reach out and check on you at all. It literally just feels like you've given him money to generate hopeless "leads". There really isn't much more to it than that. He will have meetings and if you attend, you find the information worthless. Like what to say and how to deal with potential clients. That's all good and well but the client "leads" aren't going to get you anywhere. 

Soon the "leads" faded and so did Tom. It really feels like there is no partership. He doesn't care about your success. He wants your money and for you to go away. After the "leads" went away there were no calls or emails from Tom, which there never were anyways, if you didn't have a question he wasn't going to reach out to you ever. No contact not even to try and reassure me that he didn't scam me. Suddenly, I had no leads and was apparently not a "partner" any longer. He didn't care and maybe he didn't even know. The marketing dollars for me went dry and they were done with me. If you want back in, you can pay him for more "leads". What a terrible partnership this was. Live and learn. Good scam you got going on Tommy.
