Promised and no delivery. This company is a rip off. Promising leads via the internet.Leads that I contacted either never have contacted this company, or are not in need of a realtor, or are not the person displayed on the photo and never provided a photo. The majority of ads I have received were leads with applicants offering 20,000 to 25,000 down payment on a $500,000 and over property. Some even posted that they were looking for a million plus property with $20,000 cash.
Initially whenI talked to one of the representatives I was told that one of their leads recently was by passed by one realtor and the other realtor called immediately and gained a 30 million dollar sale. This was to encourage my to call asap. Which is within their right and the normal process of working with leads, only the majority were fake leads.
I requested my money back and never heard from that company again. All Realtors should be very aware of that outfit. They should not be in business.
Purchased a monthly subscription to Qazzoo and cancelled on September 10, 2014. Have currently been billed for October and November after calling to cancel. Ryan - a representative - or perhaps site owner - refused a refund.
My experience is that Qazzoo is very difficult to deal with and furnished me with no leads. Save your money, time and frustration. A very poor investment from my prospective, and I have been a realtor for 27 years. I took this service because I moved to a new state and wanted to generate leads. The only thing I generated was a loss of my own capital.
Based on a telephone solicitation by Jennifer M. Jordon, who identifies herself as the National Manager of Qazzoo.com, I purchased a one month subscription to the Qazzoo.com service for REALTORS which purports to provide contact information for individuals who are actively seeking to buy or sell homes. At the time I subscribed to the service, I was told "You are guaranteed 100% correct contact information or your money back." This promise was documented in an email from Ms. Jordan. When I began using the service, I found that none of the contact information for the purported leads was correct and that the Qazzoo service was absolutely useless. I called Ms. Jordon and asked for a refund of my money as promised in her email. She referred me to Bill Hann. When I asked for a refund of my subscription price, Mr. Hann emphatically told me that payments for the service were not refundable and refused to honor the money back guarantee promised by Ms. Jordon.
Another issue is that Ms. Jordon wrote in her email that the service package I purchased would run for one month and specified an end date. However, a later email describing the Qazzoo terms of service provides that if not cancelled the subscription will automatically renew, an apparent attempt to dupe the unsuspecting.
In 2007 Michael Urbanski, the founder of Qazzoo, and several companies owned by him, were fined by the Maryland Attorney General for employing similar deceptive business practices. A copy of the Attorney General’s press release regarding the settlement can be found at www.oag.state.md.us/Press/2007/092807.htm. The parent company of the group of companies that was fined, Heavy Hammer, Inc., is the parent of Qazzoo, Inc. Many of the companies in that matter no longer operate, however, Allhud.com, USHUD.com are still operating and still the subject of Ripoff Report complaints. I recommend avoiding all companies affiliated with Heavy Hammer, Inc. and all other companies affiliated with Michael Urbanski. Heavy Hammer, Inc. operates out of an office at 65 Old Solomons Island Road, Suite 208, Annapolis, Maryland. I would treat any company having that address as suspect.
I was contacted by Qazzoo.com to sell me "leads" for sales, and was told that they could even offer consumers' credit information to verify that the buyers and sellers were viable leads, and that most of their information comes from social media sites. When I asked what software they were using to collect information about buyers and sellers from social media sites, the conversation got contentious. I was transferred to the "National Sales Manager", Ryan Stevenson, who refused to answer my questions and would not connect me with their IT person to give me answers.
I told Ryan Stevenson that I wanted to check out their program with a code scanner, and that is when he got huffy and hostile. I wanted to know what guarantees they had that they were able to protect their information from hackers, and although Mr. Stevenson denied that they could ever be hacked and that their information is "just names and emails but no credit card information", he still would not answer my questions about the steps they were taking to back up those assurances.
I have since that time found out that Qazzoo.com does not have a good reputation for the claims they make on the services they sell, and that there is little or no value in the type of information they are selling. Fortunately, I did not buy into their service and wish to share my experience.
