I am a loan officer for a bank that has a program to fund commercial real estate loans nationwide. I wanted to increase my production and I had been receiving marketing emails from commercialleads.net for a couple of years The company promised exclusive leads based on filters that you set up and you could "cherry pick" the ones you want. After speaking with the sales guy, it sounded legit, so he had me wire $2,000 to their account.
What a HUGE mistake. It turns out that the most leads I ever had the opportunity to select from was 2. The few prospects I was able to contact had already been repeatedly called by other lenders/brokers. Exclusive leads, really? After six months of nothing, I got fed up when they stopped sending me alerts and decided to write it off the loss on my taxes. Maybe they got tired of my complaining.
It's my own fault for being suckered into this scam because I did not do my homework. There are enough complaints on this web site and others that would have definitely changed my mind about moving foward. If you are in commercial lending and receiving marketing emails from this company, do yourself a favor and send them to spam and spend your hard earned money on a marketing method that you can fully trust and that you have researched. Don't be a sucker like me.
