First Option Marketing And Select Pro Marketing Are The Same I think they are running a scam. Will not provide references and direct numners don't work. Address given as a physical location is actually a UPS store Plymouth Massachusetts
It sounded too good to be true! We will provide you leads until you close 12 loans for 1,200. That could amount to hundreds or even thousands of leads! I researched these guys before sending them money so I did not get ripped off. This is a warning! I saw a rip off report stating the same scam which took an innocent insurance agent in Tennessee. Here is the link to the report:

Select Pro Marketing
http://www.selectpromarketing.com/home.html 866-854-4272
Select Pro doesn't even have a physical location listed anywhere on their site.
I called Select Pro Marketing and low and behold...same exact voice mail as First Option Marketing.

Violet (so she says is her name) refuses to provide references or a business license, TIN and they do not accept credit cards and their "office" location is a UPS Store mailbox.
31 Home Depot Drive (bldg 262 is what they say but it is actually a post mail box # ) Plymouth MA 02360 Wnat to check it out yourself? Here is the link to the UPS store at that address: http://www.theupsstorelocal.com/4762/
Just to make sure I checked the following: Plymouth Town Hall, Plymouth Chamber of Commerce, Better Business Bureau, MA Secretary of State and the MA Atty General's Office. Nobody knows these companies.
I tried Google and Yellowpages.com. Nothing there either for these guys.
I called Violet's direct number (331) 309-3076 and it says it is a bad number. I received a call from her Monday July 20th from 925-456-4998 which this number is not in service. Since Magicjack uses computers and provides a toll free number I have a feeling these guys could be anywhere and IN MY OPINION, IF they are scammers, might employ someone to pick up their mail at the UPS store in Plymouth.
I have no proof that they are fraudulent, however given the circumstances, lack of transparency, they tout on their site that big names like Wal Mart and United Airlines are clients...why would big companies who hire their own telemarketers use these guys? Denial of references, bad numbers, fake office location and they cannot be found published anywhere except through a website and toll free number it leaves one to wonder. Be careful out there!

I recieved the same solicitation from First Option Marketing. Offering 799.00 one time list purchase fee-pay per sale and a waived 499.00 set-up fee. Last week I received another email from Lisa with the same offer but different company Secured Marketing. 340 Cooley St. Springfield dept 224, MA 01128 Toll Free 877-202-0318 Fax # 774-961-1096 Same problem, this address traces to a UPS store. Looks like they change names and contacts everytime someone is on to them.

This company contacted me by email with what seemed like a great deal. Violet also called me. The deals seemed to good to be true. Search the internet and you can find nothing on this company. They don't take credit cards, they don't give references, and they don't give out thier location. This is clearly a scam. They give many bogus reasons for not giving thier office location where thier "400 telemarketers" are. I don't believe thier our any telemarketers. The manager, David, offered to telemarket for us for free the first month to gain our confidence since they do give out references. All we had to do was by the list. $750, just like the other poster said. Clearly a scam company, stay clear.
