      I opened an account for my company B.S. **************** with ***********/**** Leads in June of 2022, I quickly realized that I was spending way too much money on leads that weren't going through. Many of the leads ended up being dead ends with fake numbers to reach out to, and some of these leads were from customers who were not looking for a job to get done and were just browsing. I spoke to **** ***** customer service after a couple times of this happening and they did credit me back the money I spent on getting these leads. They assured me they would send me 2 guaranteed leads, these leads ended up being dead ends and once again I spent hard earned money on a fake lead. This continued to go on and **** ***** stopped helping or even caring about the situation. I ended up speaking to customer service again and canceling my membership/account with them. Throughout my whole time having an account/ being a member with **** Leads I never once received a job from their leads. It ended up being only losses for my company and no profit being made. Eventually I called ***** ***** and filed a dispute against those charges from **** Leads, and all was solved because I received my money back. But on 1/10/2023 I get an email from CMI Collections saying i owe $1,181.31 (Client Reference #: ******** CMI File #: *********-**-******).
