I was contacted by a cold caller in June 2014 about a great new lead generation company that would offer national TV ad campaigns.  The TV stations that where pitched by my sales person were NBC Sports, ABC Family, Food Network amongst others.  I was told only one agent would be sold to any given zip code.  I was told ads were currently being made and that the launch would be Aug. 1, 2014, I wrote a check to secure the zip code and it was cashed immediately.

There have been no ads run, there is no one answering the Customer Service line and there are no ads on TV.  I called my sales person but he doesn't respond.  No one asnwers the phone and its clear this is a super scam.  I will be contacting my local Attorney Generals office.  If you have been scammed here as well, I would love to hear from you here on the site.  I am so upset that I listened to the garbage and paid them a huge sum of money that I will never see again.  Michael Harris goes by the name of REX which is not his name.  He also stated in his emails that he hired 2500 customer service agents to field all the calls.  This truely is a scam.  I am not sure how to go about getting my money back.  Is anyone else in the same dumb boat that I am in that I actually believed the sales person that met me in person?  Again, the sales person refuses to return my calls.  There was an email saying that they were "changing the name because the name wasn't liked by the stations....."  I believe we have all been taken on this one.  If you have any suggestions, I am open!  I am a very smart girl, but this one caught me off guard.

I was ripped off too

I would love to speak with you and see if there is something we can do to get our hard earned money back. I was told the ad campaign would start on Oct. 1...and to date can not get a single call or email returned. There has to be something we can do about this company and their unethical practices!

I was one of the telemarketers that was hired to call real estate agents and sell this program.  Once I realized that things just did not add up, I immediately stopped calling.  Michael Harris goes by the alias "Rex Rogan" and claims his attorney told him to do this because of prior bad publicity.  They initially paid me for a few accounts, but I have never been paid for the final account(s).  I have received at least one phone call from  an agent asking what is going on, and I told him what I had discovered about Michael/Rex and provided phone numbers for both Rex and his salesman George.  Neither is returning the call.  When I confronted Michael/Rex by text regarding the money owed me, I got a nasty message back from him threatening to "come up here and deliver it to me personally".  Needless to say, I never got my money and he claims that his attorney will be in touch with me regarding defamation.  Good luck with that!
