Lead Research Group Matt Marsh Deceptive Manipulators Internet
Report Attachments
Matt Marsh, Ryan Rasmussen, Anita Knight, and Jamie Dietrich conspired against our company to take customers and put us out of business.
We were clients of Lead Research Group for specialty leads and had approached them about potentially partnering or buying our firm, Black Book Data Inc.
Matt Marsh went to Ryan Rasmussen and concocted a plan to solicit Jamie Dietrich and then take Anita Knight as well to their company and take our clients and databases with them. While we may settle this in a court of law (we have deleted emails and proof of data being compromised), I thought it would be prudent for any other firms interested in doing business with Lead Research Group (LRG) to watch their backs!! I also introduced Jamie Dietrich to Ryan Rasmussen and Matt Marsh to help her find new sources of data for her clients and she stabbed us in the back. Jamie Dietrich is also my partners cousin who grew up in the same house as her so keep this in mind with Jamie Dietrch... she would stab her own cousin/sister in the back to get a buck.
They are master manipulators that will say one thing and then stab you in the back. They are the very definition of 'amateur hour'. They have over 9 RO reports (huge for a 'marketing agency') and we as Black Book Data have 0 because we take care of our customers (over 2000 since inception), many of which were with us until Ryan and Matt solicited our contractors and manipulated my partner and I to take down our company.
We are suffering now as a result and these 'bro-marketers' are able to continue their business unabated, unashamed...
These people have no ethics and I can't understand how they can even look at themselves in the mirror when they wake up in the morning or why anyone would want to do business with them.
They ignored our cease and desist letters which proves they know they were culpable so now we just have to see how the court hears it.
The best part is they are proven and known liars so anything they can say in rebuttal must be taken with a grain of salt since they will probably try to throw me and my company under the bus even though we have an impeccable track record and we never lied or manipulated them or anyone for that matter.

Response to "employee"

LOL - whoever wrote that response is a coward - why not identify yourself if you are such a loyal employee?
Anyone with a x420 phone extension should never be trusted with a marketing investment. Would you give your financial advisor money if their nick name was Molly or Tina or Ganja... what a JOKE!!!
I hear that you guys are the laughing stock of the affiliate email marketing industry these days - breaking telemarketing laws and data laws left and right with no regard. Data theft and selling aged data without compensating the original publisher or validating the data - probably selling cell phone records now too... tsk tsk.... CAn't wait till the FCC and FTC decide to bite down on you.
Plus poor ethics on top of it. I am certain karma will come full circle and those with any talent will leave you high and dry. Your aged leads are totally worthless and everyone I speak with that has worked with you knows it's a fact! I guess having a head shop as a headquarters is also very appealing to those with important marketing money to spend.
Ryan and Matt are like 4 year olds... more like 3 year olds - and anyone that works for them is probably going to find this out sooner rather than later - there are way better employers and companies worth investing in. These guys are 100% losers.
How is the south by southwest division working out? How is Jamie Dietrich doing? She is a complete waste of space in the office... hope you are getting a good return on investment from her. She did steal from us so I would hope you got some of those stolen goods.
I heard Anita left because you guys were the worst she's ever worked with.... more horror stories I am sure.

We have no interest in throwing anyone under the bus. We’re a reputable company with a large customer base to prove it. I know Ryan, Matt, Jamie, and all of the upper management personally. They’re ethical business owners who pride themselves in their work and excellent customer service.
We’re a successful company, and we’re always looking for the best talent available. Jamie, and anyone else who is part of our team, came to us on their own accord. If a person approaches us with a skill set that we’re looking for, we don’t hesitate to offer them a position. We definitely don’t scheme to steal employees, but if the right person walks in the room and wants to work for us, we aren’t going to shut them out.
We’re grounded by a strong ethical background. We’re focused on customer satisfaction and providing the best products possible. We take our relationships with our customers and business partners very seriously. Jeopardizing relationships by black hat tricks and manipulation is not something we do. We have strong relationships with thousands of clients, and several business partners. We apologize if you feel that we wronged you in anyway, and we wish you the best of luck in your future endeavors.
