I own a small insurance agency in Odessa, Florida. We are a captured agency and are affiliated with a well known national insurer. We opened for business on May 1, 2006 and began marketing our agency throughout the West Central Florida area.

I was solicited by Michael Falcone of Allinsuranceneedz.com. Allinsuranceneedz.com is associated with Internet Marketing Group out of Amityville, NY. Michael was persistent with us through the sales process and verbally provided a lot of information about the quality and quantity of leads his company provides to insurance agents just like us. Unlike all of the other internet based lead providers we use, Allinsuranceneedz.com requires payment for a year of service at the inception of the contract. I wanted to use as many web based lead sources as possible so I signed the agreement and paid $3,600.00 on July 11, 2006. Our agreement was for personal auto leads that originate from 6 local zip codes.

It took between 2 and 3 weeks for us to go "Live" on their network. I'm not sure when we went Live because Michael stopped calling us with updates shortly after he received our signed agreement. We never received any auto leads. I wrote e-mails to Michael and left voice mails for him but received no feedback. After being Live for about 3 weeks I sent an e-mail to Michael telling him to cancel our account and refund our money. Soon after my e-mail was sent, I received a call from Michael and a V.P. with the company. They said the service can not be cancelled because we have a contract. They refused to refund my money.

I'm seeking professional assistance in Tampa and New York and am very willing to pursue this issue further. My best advice to other agents is to stay away from Allinsuranceneedz.com. Use the web based lead services that charge per lead and can be cancelled. We have found a couple of providers who do a great job of providing good leads. In our experience, Allinsuranceneedz.com has done nothing more than take a big chunk of our business start up funds.
and our money.

DON'T BE INTIMIDATED

AUTHOR: Shane - (U.S.A.)

POSTED: Monday, May 14, 2007

FOR YOUR INFORMATION, IF YOU LOOK UP THE LEGAL DEFINITION OF "DEFAMATION (SLANDER/LIBEL)" IN MOST STATES YOU WILL FIND THAT IT CONSTITUTES "FALSE STATEMENTS INTENDED TO HARM". SLANDER = VERBAL, LIBEL = WRITTEN.

THE NUMBER ONE SUCCESSFUL DEFENSE AGAINST A LIBEL (WRITTEN DEFAMATION) SUIT IS "TRUTH". IN MOST CASES AND STATES YOU CANNOT BE SUED FOR DEFAMATION IF YOUR COMMENTS ARE TRUE AND FACTUAL.

NOW, I'M NOT AN ATTORNEY, AND THIS POST IS A PERSONAL OPINION, NOT LEGAL ADVICE. HOWEVER, NEXT TIME SOME COMPANY HAS ACTED THE WAY THAT ALLINSURANCENEEDZ DOES, I WOULDN'T BE SO QUICK TO CAVE AND RETRACT YOUR STATEMENTS IF THEIR FACTUAL. THEY SIMPLY USED A SCARE TACTIC, AND IN MY OPINION, YOU WERE DUPED BY THEM A SECOND TIME.

Oh Dave, stop being such a punk!

AUTHOR: James - (U.S.A.)

POSTED: Monday, February 26, 2007

So you want your original Rip Off Report retracted because you were intimidated by Allinsuranceneedz.com's lawyers?

Give me a break and stop being such a punk!

You should have researched this "Allinsuranceneedz.com" before you signed a contract with them, and when their lawyers started threatening you for posting your Rip Off Report, you should have grown some balls and told them to go to hell!

Retraction of this Report

AUTHOR: Dave - (U.S.A.)

POSTED: Friday, February 23, 2007

I have been contacted by attorneys representing Allinsuranceneedz.com. They state that the contract I signed "expressly represents that: "The Company does not warrant, guarantee or make any representation that a the website will generate any specific number of inquiries or revenue for Client". It is true that this statement is part of the contract and they have lived up to it completely.

The letter instructs me to delete my post on Rip-off Report.com in its entirety. I sent an e-mail requesting that my post be deleted from the Rip-off Report web site and received a response stating that their policy is to never delete any postings. They said that doing so would make them no better than the Better Business Bureau. GREAT! Now I need to post a rip off report about the Rip-off Report site!

I retract my previous statements about Allinsuranceneedz.com.

My experience with Allinsuranceneedz

AUTHOR: Dave - (U.S.A.)

POSTED: Monday, February 19, 2007

I have been dissatisfied with the the results of my subscription. My recommendation is to stick to the companies that charge per lead. Those companies permit you to cancel if you are not satisfied. I have also found the pay per lead companies in general to have responsive customer service.
