So I saw a job ad on craigslist for a call center position and called 888-780-9464 to get more details. Turns out, these guys want me to pay $497 and then $97 per month to work from home. Then the way I could "potentially" make money is by selling the software to other people like me for $497 and $97 per month....Sounds like a scam to me. Then when I asked why I had to pay, the guy gets rude and arrogant with me. Tells me I'm delusional for believing you can work from home without paying to work, lol. What a sham.
I absolutely did not join this company and I would tell anyone else to stay away from these guys.

ALT Software is Garbage

The ALT Data-miner does NOT work as advertised.
If you purchased MicroSoft Office 2013 and found out Excel didn't work, you'd take it back to the merchant to get a copy that works, or you'd demand your money back. And the retail merchant would fix the problem and pass the refund cost back to MicroSoft.
Stefan Dessalines and Scott Agee are CON-ARTISTS -- and so are any of the independent representatives who KNOW that ALT is built on lies and deception, but keep promoting this program as a money-making opportunity ("Don't worry that it doesn't work as we promoted it to you, look at it as a money-making opportunity!")
ALT uses a payment processor called E4 Gateway (Ignite Payment Systems). Their represenative, Clay King, says he's been their rep for 5 years and he's never heard of software problems. He's as big a dirtbag as Stefan and Scott.
Ignite Payment Systems is complicit in the scam, as they have been notified of the ALT fraud in writing, yet they continue to process payments for this scam. Do NOT do business with Ignite Payment Systems - they charge you monthly fees, transaction fees, report fees, and when you have a chargeback, they charge you a $30 chargeback fee (it looks like the chargeback fees are profitable business for Ignite Payment Systems).
My advice to anyone wanting a refund is to PRINT these reports and present them to your bank or credit card company as proof of the scam activity of ALT and Ignite Payment Systems and initiate the chargeback.
ALT is garbage. The ALT admin are dirtbags.
Remember, you can polish a turd until it shines, but it's still just a piece of s*#t... (All that glitters isn't gold!)

So: the software works and has worked for years. There are people making money in the call center. There are people making money selling leads. It is a business and if people actually treat it like a business, they will certainly make money. Not every business owner makes money. Restaurants close every day. Even Linens and Things, a huge national chain, had to close their doors a few years ago.
This software is something almost every business can use: I don't care if it is a dry cleaner or a dentists office or a pizza parlor: they all need leads and new customers coming in.
Personally: I'm making enough so that my husband could resign from his day job. I treat it like a business. Yes, there are business expenses: the $97 on-going monthly fee, the $15. for a hosting account and dedicated ip address; and $9.95 for my autoresponder. (Which I also use for 2 other businesses.) I have another piece of software for a different opportunity entirely that cost me $750. and the company sends me NO leads. The $497 is a low investment, even for part time people who may only make 1 sale a week. That is $1,600 a month: a life changing income for some part-timers.
I can tell you that my last day job, over 6 years ago, cost me more than $125 a month for gas, lunches, clothing, etc, etc.
Everyone has to make their own decisions. If you believe this is not for you, then make that decision and walk away. But treated properly, Automatic Lead Tools can make almost anyone a very good income, working form home, setting your own hours. No commute. No "Boss." No spending $100's every month on clothing. No expensive lunches out. And if you have children at home: the best part is: no day care!

The point is you guys are advertising on a job site but it's actually a business opportunity. This is not a professional opportunity. It's a multi-level marketing opportunity and it's overpriced. You can get the same software free at download.com. not to mention any professional sales opportunity that has licensing fees those fees are paid to the company for educational purposes not to individual reps in the company. Bottom line this company is a scam. You've been scamming people since the company was LeadNetPro. Anybody that wants to know the truth search in Ripoff Report under LeadNetPro.

The $497 is for the software license fee ($400) and administration fee ($97) You must have a software license to resell. That is with any software comapny if you will be selling/installing to clients/customers. Don't bash a good company with a great compesnation plan because you are unwilling to invest in your future and change your finances. I have been in sales for decades and majority of sales positions you have professional license fees , office fees, marketing fees, etc to pay to be able to sell and make a six and seven figure income whether you are sitting in the office or telecommuting from home.
This company is NOT a scam.
