      I joined Networx to expand my customer base. Im being sent leads that didnt apply to the category I signed up for. Out of the leads that were sent not a single one resulted in a reply much less an actual job. I began getting skeptical and my mind was fully made up when I was sent a fake address. Im fully convinced this is a scam and Im reporting this to prevent any other small businesses from falling for this trick.The initial phone call was great and they talk up how many leads they generated for contractors in the same category. The sales guy even requested that I send a company hat or pens once the first big job comes in. Everything sounds great but nothing happened as was promised in my experience. The sales pitch ends with them trying to convince you to start your account with $1,000 because that could last you a long time and you can pause the incoming leads at any time while implementing that the more leads you get the more jobs there could be but they urge you to call the potential customer as soon as possible. Regardless of the leads I was sent, 0 came out of it. If a legitimate lead does come up then by them stating that you must reach out immediately means that others subscribed to this service would also be notified allowing them to get paid multiple times for the same lead while providing your competition with the same information.

      I have been misled and told I could only put $2,000 or ***** on to my account and that I could get direct calls and when trying to solve the problem by calling they have never opened the direct call account and charged me $,2000 and never called me back and refuse to close my account and refund my money.

      Networx solicited me offering me their services, their sales rep was very aggressive at it, even tough back in 2009 I tried their services I explained I am not interested, their sales rep kept telling me how their new program is better, different then before and their company has changed, nowdays they are offering good valid leads and they guarantee satisfaction. (I recorded all conversations when their sales rep promised valid leads) anyways I accepted trial period and they provided me with 10 leads, of which only one was valid lead, and I dont have a problem paying for that one lead .however 9 out of 10 leads were fake bad leads, we could not reach with email, text or phone calls, and Networx charged us. We attempted every possible communication with Networx to resolve this, they basically rejected it. Networx is scamming company, do not trust their lies and their well trained sales team, they will charge your account by sending you bogus lead informations, they will take your money and provide you with fake leads, Do not trust these people, they are experts at what they do, and they scamm honest businesses. Networx I want full refund and all 9 leads, One lead that I was actually able to talk to (never sold it) but homeowner answered phone call is fine, you can keep that money. That is what you promised, you promised to charge me only for valid leads, and validated leads are those who we can reach and talk to.

      We signed up with these guys at networx and we were promised they were out of their minds with roof snow removal and ice dam removal leads. We told them this was very time sensitive because the snow will melt eventually and we needed the leads while the snow was still stuck on the roofs. We additionally told them that we needed leads that were roof repair/leaky roofs mainly from the snow and its damage. We were given roof replacement leads, and we were given leads where they were requesting us to shovel the driveway or snow blow it. Those are not the leads that we paid for and they wont give us our money back nor will they let us quit their service. We only want the initial $300 back and have requested this many times.

      I will email  her back but she not her company left any messages! I saw I did miss a call from ******* one day but that was once and there certainly was not any voicemail left.  Also. The manager I talked to when I first was feeling this was going south (on the first day) basically told me that his sales people are told to lie to meet quotas.  I am not satisfied until I have my $300 left.   She is OBVIOUSLY lying.  They send you text messages alll the time saying that they tried you and left messages.  I am not going over this with her on an email it is too much information.   She needs to give me a number.  They are not honest there.

      Our phone number ************ was sold to local contractors as a "lead" and we are not interested in any remodeling work. Our phone is blowing up and the contractors are not happy because they though we were a legitimate lead. Please stop selling our information under false pretenses.

      This company is nothing but a scam. They are a lead generating company that only send fake leads in order to take your money and will not offer a refund only offer to keep sending you more fake leads until you have a zero balance with them.

      This company and their business model is a joke and scam. We were promised the world by a sales rep looking to sign us up and we were very very hesitant after having bad experiences with HomeAdvisor. Went ahead and gave it a chance with nothing out of it but bad/fake leads. We kept the account on pause as long as we could and recently went of a business so the service is obviously no longer useful to us anyways. We were not aware the account was going to be reactivated and my card was charged $300. I called immediately the next day (since it was charged the night before) to figure out what was going on and to try to get a refund since were no longer in business. First person I spoke to was of no use, kept repeating the same thing and I asked to speak with someone higher up, they agreed, sat on hold a long time and they came back to say the same things and was not allowed to speak with anyone higher up to get this resolved. Called in again to speak with someone else and same case. Did not want it to come to this and doing a complaint, but bad customer service resulted in this. Were looking for a refund of the $300 that was charged and want this resolved. They have a horrible business structure with no refunds. As if their leads arent giving them a bad enough name just like home advisor, this just adds to all that. We want a refund for the amount charged.

      We (an HVAC company) signed up for Networx and quickly realized the leads were c*** After some back and forth with Networx representatives, we canceled our account. Instead, they "placed it on hold", then reopened it a month later, charged us $700, and refuse to refund our money. I believe our account is now "deactivated" but the sales reps keep calling and calling and calling even though we've told them to stop/take us off the list. every time I try to speak with someone about the refund, I get the run around from lower level employees, transferred to phones that ring and ring with no answer, or get hung up on when they tell me they are transferring to a specific person. If I do end up reaching a person, they tell me there are no refunds. They are a scam; shady and dishonest -please stay away from them! This has been going on for months-Luckily, I have every call recorded.

      I am rejecting this response because: Not accurate at all.  You charged me twice, once after we told you we didn't want your service anymore.  I don't want your leads, I want a refund as your service is so unsatisfactory that I will never use your "leads" again.  Clearly, this is a systemic issue, if not your actual business model, and your response to me and to the other contractors who have the exact same complaint is, frankly, horse-sh*t.  I am as unhappy with a service as one can get so there is no other remedy I will accept other than a full refund.  I'd also accept a full investigation into your company for misleading and predatory business practices.
