How Sales Reps From LeapFish Makes Sales That Are Unethical And Are A Violation of the FTC Rules

If you are promoting a money making website, you are going to get a phone call from someone from Leapfish (in my case, it was sales rep by the name of Jason Lind of Dublin California).  If you don't answer their phone, they are going to leave you a compelling message of why you need to call them back.  Don't fall for their persuasively shady tactics.  This is their usual sales pitch (Jason Lind's sales pitch):

"Hey Joe,  I found your website and I want to know more about it. Please call me back right away. My name is Jason Lind from Leapfish."

Just think about this shady approach. If you are marketing your money making website and someone leaves you this message,  you cannot possibly tell me that you are not going to call him back.  In my case, I ended up calling Jason Lind of Dublin California back because I thought he was interested in learning more about my website.  To make a long story short, it was a flat-out lie. 

Salespeople are clever at leaving compelling messages on your voicemail just to get you to return their phone call.  And they are good at it as in the case with Jason Lind leaving a message on my voicemail pretending that he was interested in learning more about my website. What a lie!

Once he got a hold of me, Jason Lind asked me if I wanted to learn how to dominate the Leapfish Search engine on a highly competitive keyword that Google happens to be charging on a per click basis.  What he was selling me was the once-in-a-life time opportunity to be on the first pages of Leapfish for only a $1,000 one time investment.  This first page ranking was guaranteed. 

After hearing this, you will probably think it is a great offer because you can literally save tons of money that are wasted on Google clicks.  And they even mention click fraud in Google that is a serious problem. Leapfish shady salesman Jason Lind was creating a sense of urgency by instilling fear into me that if I don't buy keywords from Leapfish, I am going to miss out on tons of search traffic from Leapfish through Google.

On Leapfish's site,  anyone has the option to search on three search engines (Google, Yahoo and Bing). And Leapfish salesman Jason Lind told me this outrageous lie that tons of people search the Google pages on the Leapfish site. What a lie.  I will prove to you that it is a flat out lie.  I ended up buying the Leapfish keyword "How To Make Money" which gets 200,000 monthly searches on Google. Jason Lind lied to me that Leapfish gets a small portion of Google searches.  Another flat out lie.  So far, it has been almost 2 months since I bought Leapfish Keyword "How To Make Money" and I haven't gotten a darn impression let alone clicks. Is this fruad or what?  This is one of the biggest scams in internet history.

There is one more thing I would like to tell you so you cannot say I didn't warn you.  In the beginning, when Jason Lind told me about the wonderful features of Leapfish,  I wasn't really impressed at all.  Guess what?  Salespeople do what they do best: overexaggerate and make outrageous lies about their Leapfish company.

Jason told me how he had bought lots of keywords from Leapfish for a $1,000 and sold it for $10,000.  As it turns out, it was another lie. But unfortunately that lie is exactly what got me hooked.  And unfortunately, I ended buying "How To Make Money" for $1,000 and now I am stuck with this worthless Leapfish keyword that doesn't get any searches at all.  Let me remind you again.  This highly searched keyword of mine gets 200,000 monthly searches on Google.  How does it do on Leapfish?  Sadly, nothing.  I got seven impressions for my keyword.  Woopdeedoo!!  Guess where the impressions came from?  They were my own.  I actually clicked on my own ad and got clicks...LOL...
I am warning you right now.  Do not fall for this outrageous lie. They are using this sales tactics to compare themselves to the domain name craze that took place back in the year 2000.  And he also said how lots of people made a fortune snatching up good domain names and selling them for a profit.  He said that you can do the same here with Leapfish by snatching up Leapfish keywords on a first-come first-serve basis.  Another outrageous lie.  Leapfish keywords are worthless.  Why?  They have no search volume at all period!!

Now can you see why their claims of Google click fraud are blatant lies. Here is a list of sales pitches not to fall for especially from salesman Jason Lind of Dublin California:

"Hey Joe,  I saw your website and I want to find out more.  Please call me. My name is Jason Lind."  Do not fall for this.

"Leapfish gets a fraction of the searches of Google.  On Google, you would be paying $3 a click.  At 200,000 searches a month, that amounts to $600,000 dollars in clicks on Google. Isn't Google really expensive? But with Leapfish, you are guaranteed first page for only $1,000!!" 
Do not fall for that.

"Are you aware that Leapfish went from an Alexa Ranking of 100,000 to 10,000 in less than one year?"   Don't fall for that.  Alexa ranking has nothing to do with search volume on Leapfish which they do not have. 

"If you don't buy this keyword,  someone is going to snatch it up.  It is on a first come first serve basis."  Don't fall for this.

"Oh, by the way, Joe from LGN Prosperity has bought a Leapfish keyword.  Let me show you his ad." 

Don't fall for this.  This is the ultimate trap that works. Why?  Because home business owners want to know how other fellow business owners are marketing their website.  And if they see them buying Leapfish keyword to advertise their business,  they are most likely going to do the same thing. In other words, if someone is bought a Leapfish keyword to promote XYZ company,  the Leapfish salesman Jason Lind would say,"Hey Mary.  Did you know you have an XYZ distributor who just bought a Leapfish keyword?"

That is exactly how people are suckered into their irresistable offers.  For example, Jason Lind told me that someone from LGN Prosperity was advertising on their Leapfish site.  And because I happening to be promoting the same company as that person, I couldn't pass up the opportunity to advertise on Leapfish by buying what turned out to be a worthless keyword.  Do not fall for this trap.

One thing you need to be aware of is the mentality of business owners.  Home business owners are always looking to advertise on sites that their competitors happens to be advertising on so they don't miss out on any exposure. Sadly, you cannot get any exposure with Leapfish because there is no traffic for the keywords that you buy.

This is exactly Leapfish's ultimate sales scam approach.  They are in the business of calling up potential prospects and telling them how their fellow distributors or business owners are advertising with Leapfish. The Leapfish salespeople even go through the trouble of showing proof that other business owners are advertising the same business opportunity as you are.  Again, let me give you an example of what I am talking about.  Here is Jason Lind's shady sales pitch that got me angry later on when I found out I was scammed:

"Hey Joe.  Did you know that someone just bought a Leapfish ad to advertise the LGN Prosperity opportunity? Let me show you his ad!" 

Pay attention to that sales pitch.  Can you see how dangerously persuasive it is?  Does it work?  Unforunately yes.  Why?  Because people buy because of testimonials.  But as it turns out, the testimonials are mostly fraud victims who got scammed and found out about it later. And because I happening to be promoting LGN Prosperity,  I didn't want to miss out on the exposure my competitor was getting.  And unfortunately, that is how I ended up losing $1,000 on a keyword that gets no search engine traffic.

Please do not make this mistake.  If you are reading this, please forward it to everyone you know so they don't get hurt by this Leapfish scam.  There are so many complaints against Leapfish that it is just a matter of time before they go out of business.  I hope they do for what they have done to me.  I am still incredibly angry at salesman Jason Lind of Dublin Pleasanton for selling me a worthless keyword that gets no traffic at all period.  Leapfish is a scam. Please Google "Leapfish scam" and "Leapfish Complaints".  Don't forget to Google "Jason Lind Scam" so you can see what I am talking about.  Please do it before anyone else gets hurt like I did. 

Attention all LGN Prosperity marketers,  do not fall for their sales pitch.  I repeat.  Attention all LGN Prosperity members, do not advertise with Leapfish because a few LGN Prosperity distributors have already been scammed. I am one of them.  Don't fall for their famous sales pitch "Did you know someone else from LGN Prosperity is advertising with us?"  Fraud.
