Everycontractor.com

This company spends a lot of time recruiting local building trade contractors with a high pressure promise of "unlimited job leads". After finally signing up for their service with a guarantee of a minimum of 12 qualified leads over a 12-month period they failed miserably to meet that commitment. The day that we signed the agreement (and they collected their 1st year fee!) they forwarded our one-and-only lead that we ever received from them.

This lead turned out to be totally bogus, when we contacted the client they had no idea what we were calling them for and claimed that they had never contacted EveryContractor.com. We notified EveryContractor.com regarding the bogus lead and of course they claimed that the client must have forgotten about their inquiry. No other leads followed and after 48 days we contacted EveryContractor.com to find out why no additional leads had come to us. Their customer service group claimed the reason was that our "contractor profile" was not properly setup, but they would assist us in making sure that the profile was correctly setup.

Still no leads followed. We attempted over the next 11 months to make contact with EveryContractor.com by phone. Using all of the various toll-free and other phone numbers was a fruitless effort. We spent hours on the phone listening to terrible pre-recorded music and messages telling us how important our business was to them. In most cases we hung up after bring on hold for an hour or more. Even the phone messages that we did leave never resulted in any returned calls, until today! Today their representative was kind enough to explain that the money-back guarantee would not be honored because we failed to update our online profile every 90 days.

Nothing in our profile had changed over this period but apparently their "Terms and Conditions" require an update to occur so as to avoid the lost of the guarantee. But the representative was kind enough to offer a "search placement" service for $80 per month. So even though they could not deliver even one single valid lead during a 12-month period they assumed that we would be stupid enough to sign up with them for additional bogus services!

Public beware. Work directly with your local contractors because very few online companies providing "contractor services" are legitimate!

Poor EveryContractor.com. Everyone picks on a crook and these guys certainly take the cake. Run, run, fast as you can, from them. They got my $3,000 and I've never received anything.

Just like thousands of other people, I was totally lied to and ripped off for $1700.00. I would have never done it if they didn't say that if I wasn't happy, that I could reverse the charges on the credit card. And that's what I did 3 days later. They credited the money back to my account. Then about a month later, the company rebutted it and said that it's a twelve month program. And my stupid credit card company, Capitol One, gave the money back to them! And to this day, I am still trying to fight it.

My husband is a small business owner (concrete finisher). He was contacted by rep from Everycontractor.com in November 2009. First, he said the placing on their website was 100's of dollars. My husband kept telling him no thanks. He kept calling and finally the price went to $95.00. My husband handled this. I finally see the credit card statement with the $95.00 on it. I called the number (someone was then answering the phones in January 2010). She tells me what the money was for. $95.00 is a background check on your company and if everything checks out, you can be listed on the site.

"Well, ok, now what do we do?" I ask her. She has all our company info wrong. She has the right name, but we don't do drywall. She has the wrong address, phone number, and contact people. Comes down that there is already a company listed with the same name, but different specs and city. So she proceeds to tell me that she to rebuild the account. Well, to make a long, long story short, that was back in February 2010. After numerous unanswered phone calls, no one was ever calling me back. There is no response to my emails. I disputed the fee on our credit card, but to no avail (another long story). Would you believe Dave himself calls me on April 2010. He tells me he personally will handle my account. What happened, Dave? I'm still waiting as of September 2010. I did not receive any kind of listing on their website.

We were solicited to purchase their service. We were skeptical and paid a minimum amount to see how they worked. We received one lead for such a small job, I believe it wasn't legit and since then nothing. I tried to call and no one answers or returns calls. I believe this is not a company, but a scam. If they call you just hang up. You would be better off. The effort made to build profile and paid fees to get leads were all for nothing except a phone call from a VP wanting a lot more money for special leads.

In May of 2008 I paid their company $400.00 for a promised 12 leads within the area of southern California where I live. I completed the on line forms, put in the information that was required for them to contact me with leads, but heard nothing. After twelve months I contacted the company and requested the promised guarantee of returning my investment of $400.00 when they failed to follow through and provide me with the agreed 12 leads.

I spoke to David **, he claimed that I made a single mistake and then stated that they were not obligated to return any monies due to my error. But during the twelve months I received nothing from their company except high pressure sales calls trying to get me to pay them more money for services that I had yet to receive. David ** informed me that if I would give them an additional twelve months and followed through on my obligation to check their internet site as stated in the agreement, that at the end of another twelve months they would provide me with twelve leads. Well another year and still no leads. Again just high pressure sales to upgrade to their company's next sales level.

I have attempted to contact their company several times since June 2010, left numerous messages explaining that I want to talk to a representative and want my original $400.00 returned. Yet they are not accepting any calls, and have failed to contact me either by e-mail or phone. I am a small Dry wall contractor, with today's economic crisis; I don't need a company who fails to complete their promised task. I have been deprived of my original $400.00 and the dozen or more hours I have spent calling their company, e-mailing, and updating their website to receive nothing.

I should have heeded the warnings about "Every Contractor.Com". They are a complete rip off! I paid the minimum amount of money they required to run my company on their website. I'm so glad I didn't spend the huge amount they originally asked for (in the thousands of $). I haven't received anything from them except calls asking for more money and they will supply me with more leads.

Since logging my complaint of Everycontractor, I have received a phone call from the president of the company. They seemed to want to do something for the problems. So I am going to see if it works.

I was contacted by Everycontractor.com and they said for $3000, they would guarantee me $85,000 worth of work. There conditions were different than what the sales person said. The sales person said don't worry about it and that it was just part of the boiler plate that the bean counters wanted in there. I waited and received no leads. I called and they sent a lead that was six hours from my work area. Other possible leads were almost 1000 miles away. Many times I went online and found the website off.

Last night I received a call from a man named Pat *** who said he worked for EveryContractor and that I failed to follow all the conditions. The conditions are impossible to follow. Ha also said that for about $179 he could generate leads directly to me and could continue to do so for an additional $79 a month. I received an email from him and have answered it. He said if conditions aren't followed exactly, they need not send leads or even work with me.

This company and this man are a con. David is one of the worst people I have ever met he is a hipocrit and should be in prison again he steals from his costomers, his employees and would probably steal his mothers last dime if he could. If you deal with this man you are just stupid.

I was hounded daily by everycontractor.com. I figured that I will give it a try and gave them $2,000. I filled out my profile several times. Every time I went back to the web site, my information was wrong. I tried again to change the information and nothing. I also tried several times to call, email, fax, and even went down to the office here in Las Vegas. Low and behold, the doors are locked and nothing in the offices. I called my credit card company to dispute the charges. I got my money back. Well today, I got a call from David, the owner. He said that he never shut the doors. He just fired everybody. I could be wrong, but when you pay someone to perform a service, and no service is performed, and you go to their office to talk about it, and no one is there, I think the business is closed. Well David went on explaining how I breached my contract and I explained to him this his company is full of crap. I also explained that he breached his contract with me. I never received a lead or anything.

In my opinion, Everycontractor, com, service magic, 4 Star Marketing, are all con artist. They do nothing but take money from us small people. As a matter of fact, a representative from 4 Star Marketing, had call me and gave me the same line of bull. I actually wen t down to their building. Yes there were employees working. Scamming more contractors. The girl I talked with, used to work for everycontractor.com she is the one that told me that they went out of business. How do these people sleep at night. That $2,000 really hurt me. Yes they made promises to me. Not one was fulfilled.

I worked for this company and handled difficult accounts. They are a rip off in many situations. They have inexperienced people selling, and will sell anything to bring in the money. For instance, one account I had to deal with was in CT, a landscaper. It was in November and I was given this file to find this guy a job. Yeh right, a landscape project in CT in November? This was an impossible request that continued and I was still being ask to do this in December. Of course, I could not fulfill this obligation which was another mark against me also. I say another because the industry was tanking rapidly at this time due to the economy, but had been for quite a while.

To me there was no excuse for this, as this sell should have never taken place, especially with inpossible promises. Almost all the sales were like this as the people selling had no idea what they were selling and did not care. It was a sweat shop to bring in money regardless of what could be provided. So they treat the employees the same way they treat their customers.

I have been unemployed for quite some time and many times have thought about the contractors that I tried to work with. Having been in this business before and experienced real estate hitting bottom and bad economic times before I saw the injustice being played out especially for the paying contractors, but also the many employees that came and went thru their doors hourly, including myself.

I signed up with everycontractor as well as servicemagic. Right from the beginning, I got a big lead from ec. I worked real hard and landed the job. I thought the service was awesome, so when a salesman called to sign me up as a preferred contractor, I was ready. He promised 120k in a year if I pay $4000. And if I'm not satisfied, then they'll give my money back. I didn't see another lead for months. Throughout the year I received 5 leads, but none of them fit my business. So I asked for a refund and they tell me I can't have it because I didn't respond to every lead within 24 hours or leave feedback on every job even though I didn't bid on them. There are many other requirements listed on their website too. They give impossible conditions to meet so that they can ***. They prey on small contractors. I'm going to report them to the Better Business Bureau and I suggest everyone do the same. I paid $4000 for nothing. My business is small and it really hurts. I am considering closing.

After several sales calls from Everycontractor, I decided to try it for $450 per year. This was for a guaranteed 12 qualified leads. The next month, I was contacted by their National Account Manager who proceeded to explain his concern for not having a qualified contractor in my area for large projects. Projects that he had reoccurring jobs from clients such as Dunkin donuts, many banks with foreclosed homes that needed work, etc. For $5000, he would guarantee me $80k of work. Once again, he explained that he desperately needed a contractor to take care of some projects that he currently had in the 'pipe line'. Seemed to be a straight talker and after numerous conversations, I decided to try it because winter was setting in and we could use the work.

Well, after numerous messages, I have yet to hear from them. At first, we had several contacts with several different people at EveryContractor regarding our Account setup. Every time we thought we had our account updated, they asked for something else. My last conversation with them some 2 months ago seemed to be positive. They said they had two good projects they were getting more information on and would be contacting me the next week. Again, no contact. I then called and was told the same exact thing, waited another week, no word. Now I can't get any response.

This is not just a $40 online purchase online that was a counterfeit. This is a $5000 transaction that we can't afford not to pay off. We may have to lay off an employee and take a pay cut because we used these funds for leads that did not pay off. We usually use these funds toward other forms of advertising that usually have a decent return. But when your told this is guaranteed, why not take it. Well, I'm the fool, I know. But please take note all of you that are thinking about using this firm. There are betters ways to spend your money. Laid off one employee, Loss of $5000 + time of office staff and general manager to set up account and repeatedly try to make contact with EverycContractor.

I am a general contractor in Phoenix, AZ for about 10 years, doing commercial and residential new builds and remodeling. They kept phone soliciting me for 4 years, telling me of their great company and what it could do for me. At 50 years old, my radar for a scam went on right away. They would call 6 times a year for 4 years now and I would decline because I was busy enough.

Finally, I was slowing down and thought,well,they started out wanting $1500,and now they are telling me they have too much work to handle, and I came recommended to them. So for $400 I can come in and I'm guaranteed 12 good leads only to me, no other contractors. I figured if they had stayed in business 4 years they must be legit. But no, there was not 1 lead in 12 months. One month after I signed up, a more high pressured salesman tried to get me to spend 6-7 grand. I said, "Until I see results with this, no more money."

I was contacted many times on my cellphone regarding the work through leads. All those times, a lady spoke to me but I forgot her name. She told me their company gives you lead from where you can get work whichever you like it. The fees for this is only $400.00 for a one-year subscription. Once your company profile will be created, then you will start getting the leads. But till today, I had heard nothing about the leads or the profile.

When I try to contact the 800 number, I found that this is a false number. So I went to see in the internet if I can get correct number. They took the money from my bank account, and I have not received any lead from them. So please make Everycontractor.com company as a fraud company, as they are cheating small contractors like me.

I was contacted by phone several times asking me if I could take on more business. After several calls, I listened to the pitch and I was told that they had over $35,000 in work that they could give me if I would sign up with them as a contractor. The sales person assured me that they were continuously getting calls for people looking for landscaping contractors in my area and that these were people they had checked out and were ready to hire.

To make a long story short, I agreed and pay them a fee of $1,500 now and if I was satisfied with the service, they would make a second charge of $1,500 in six months. They processed the first $1,500 and I was allowed to enter my profile into their system to help them match me to jobs.

After three weeks, I had heard nothing from them so I began to call them every couple of days to see why I had not seen all this work yet! I got the runaround about how something was not complete in my profile and I repeated all the profile work again but still nothing and I repeated my calls to them. Finally, one lead was sent to me. We did meet with the customer who was looking for multiple bids for the cheapest price that he could find for a small job. We bid the project and head nothing back. That was the last I ever heard from Every Contractor until they wanted their second payment.

I had closed the account they had charged before so they could not take the second payment. They obviously have some good sales speeches that make them money but don't follow through with any of what they promise. I wasted $1,500 and was delivered nothing.

I subscribed to EC.com, late December 09, Figured I would give them a try. Paid $425. They guaranteed 10 leads within a year. Two days later, they called me with an additional offer to guarantee $30,000.00 in business a year if I followed their instructions. Just pay a $1050.00 subscription fee. So I said, "hell, what a deal".

Well, The next day, I was transferred to a very reasonable and courteous gentleman who agreed to cancel my charge. I did the same with AMEX and got my money credited. They didn't give me any trouble or try to dispute. The bottom line is. They have not called me since. Not a single lead so far in over 2 months. But, I am a patient man and will go on waiting.

Next January, I will take action, with the Attorney General of Nevada, should they not credit me if they don't deliver. It doesn't look good though. If enough of you people, who have gone through the agreed time window and nothing or no refund. Get a group together and file a complaint with the Nevada AG. As of yet, I am still going to wait it out. But what they offer is far more than they seem to come across with. Remember if it sounds too good to be true, it is! $425.00.

I originally paid $407 for 12 leads in 1 year. Two weeks after signing up, I was told that I was put in the wrong program, and for an additional $1600, I would be positioned where I need to be. I checked to see if I was listed in their system from the original agreement and did not find my profile anywhere in their website. I am not continuing with them, as I have found out that they are scamming people out of thousands of dollars and should be shut down.

It is bad enough being in a recession, and then to have companies scam honest businesses out of additional money, it is criminal. We are out $407.00 which i would rather give to charity!

I signed up with this company to get leads from people needing flooring installers. They said I would get a minimum number of leads for $499.00 a year. That was three months ago. The only two leads I have gotten, both jobs were already done. I called both people within less than an hour of getting the call from every contractor, but both times the job was already done. The customer was surprised that someone was really calling them at this time of the prodject. I called and emailed every contractor, and got no answers or help with this.

After numerous phone calls, i signed up with this scam for $5,000. It guaranteed me $80,000 in contracted work, not leads but contracted work which included conference calls and a team of people to market the job to the customer. After 2 months, I noticed something was seriously wrong. I was receiving bogus leads and no conference calls. I also noticed people posting about how this company is scamming them, and it all fit.

I had checked the BBB before purchasing with them, and they only had a few blemishes, but it seemed they had been under the radar at that time. I was smart enough to only make a partial payment of $2800.00 and was told by them to pay the remainder and they would fulfill their end of the contract. I declined and entered a claim with my credit card company. At that time, I stopped using their service.

I was just notified by them that I violated the terms and would not be refunded. But my violations occurred only after I submitted a claim. I didn't want their service. It wasn't working. They violated all the bull crap they told me. But they don't seem to have to hold up to any of their end. I'm out $2800, and their doing this to another hardworking American. There's got to be loop hole for the consumer! This is against all American ways, and this company should be outlawed. I could've donated this money to charity!

This company is a rip off. I paid $600.00 two months ago and I have not received one referral. I have tried to call many times but gave up after 1/2 hour of waiting many times. Any contractor who sign up can expect to loss your money.

I gave them 400.00 for at least 12 leads or my money back i recieved not one real lead in the whole time i have been a member in 13 months. they where people that wanted no work done or inquired to have any work performed they bought glue at lowes and i got the lead on the computer saying they wanted a basement remodeled. or they don't ansewer there phone dont never call you back because they are not there at that number and dont want nothing done. i called every contractor on this they told me to wait until my review was up in a year and then review and maybe get my money back? called them and they told me since a did not contact the people within 24 hours that broke my contact ? there was no one to contact i am still waiting on a reply on most of the leads they gave me?

To anyone considering using this company. My advice is DON'T. Do your research and make sure to read all fine print to make sure you can get your money back.

i cannot believe this bunch are still scamming americas finest ,the self employed.what a bunch of low lifes ,one day i guess! what goes around comes around,i personally will be visiting there offices in early january,hope they have some big boys to stop people like me entering,scam artist cowboys STAY AWAY AMERICA

I have called almost every week int eh last few months to confirm my account was up to date and there woould be no problems at the end of the 12 month period getting my refund and was assured of this a minimum of 5 times.

On 11/23/09 I finally spoke with a manager who I have left 4 messages for and he told me that there is no way I would be getting my money back at the end of the contract that I did not follow all the rules. I will agree that I did not abide by every rule as strictly as they would like, but the rules are a little rediculous.

They want you to respond to a lead within 24 hours which sounds fine, but I am a company of 1 and if I am on vacation or out of town for a day then I amy respond within 48 hours instead of 24. Anyway this company is a fraud and when I spoke with a sales manager there recently he told me that the salesman that sold me on this company was fired for lying. The employee supposedly fired was Robert K. I want my money back.

2 years ago I singed up with them for over $600.00. Received not one legitimate lead. After NUMEROUS contacts I was able to prove they did not fulfill their end of contract.

Over the past six months I've received at least 8 calls from them. Each time I request they remove my name. Today I asked to speak to a manager to make that happen and was rudely told they only way I could speak to a manager was "if I wanted to work".

paid them 699.00 updated file like i was suppose to and they sent us faklse leads this company has issues none of their leads are good the have only sent us 4 leads in 6 months

Have nothing to do with Everycontractor.com and do not pay them any money. You will come to regret doing so. They contacted me nine months ago. Promised to provide me with jobs worth $60,000 for a payment of $4,000. They promised full money back if they didn't deliver. They'll talk your arm off until they have your money. It's been nine months and nothing, zilch, zero from them.

I had talked to a girl named Erica R. She seemed friendly at first. I was skeptical about sending her money. Every time she talked, it sounded like she was breathing heavy. She must have been extremely overweight. She kept high pressuring me to sign up. She then proceeded to put me on the phone with her manager Rose Z. Rose was very rough around the edges and very uneducated. She gauranteed me my $1,600 back if I didn't get the results. It's been 3 months now and they won't return my call. I am 100% convinced they are a scam!

paid money to this firm to provide prescreened and qualified sales leads. Was told several were available immediately. Was given one bad lead and have not received any further from them. I have tried to access my account to update information, however I have not been able to access the account they cannot find my email and password. I am now out over $1,600.00 Wasted several hours trying to update their system in order to comply, however when they will no let you update, you cannot comply.

I attended the National Institute of Technology now called Everest located in Dearborn, MI on 23400 Michigan Ave. in May of 2005. I was really excited about going back to school but I didn't know that I was going to be scammed out of thousands of dollars. I entered the Medical Billing Insurance and Coding Program morning classes. My instructor seemed to show favoritism towards certain students and also those students that she favored actually started to harass myself and another classmate. It had gotten so bad that I had to call a lawyer and have him issue a letter to the president of the school. Stating that if the harassment continued a lawsuit was going to take place. Zero tolerance yeah right! Back to the thousands of dollars that I owe Sallie Mae. Towards the end of the mod the school sent a representative to my classroom, and pulled me out and said you owe us some money and if you don't pay right away you will be kicked out of school. I told her I don't have a job I told you that when I signed up. Also, what was the reasons for the loans. No answer of course! Now all of a sudden I have to pay out of pocket. The representative to me to the back where I originally signed the loan papers and she told me lets see if we can find some money for you. I'm like find some money for me (again what was the $9,000 in loans for?) Furthermore, now she tells me okay now all you owe us is $400.. Are you kidding me??? Where am I going to get $400 dollars from..? I don't have a job! Now this is the kicker right.. My classmate that was also getting harassed had gotten pulled out of class as well. The same representative threatened her, she also took to the back and wow found her so money... So now all she owed was $100. How is this possible we started school at the same time signed the same paperwork she never paid any money up front so how does she only owe $100.00. I never received my Diploma. I received a cap and gown, took graduation pictures, I walked across the stage where is my diploma? It was all just for show! They called and told me I have to pay that $400.00 before I can receive it. (NATIONAL INSTITUTE OF TECHNOLOGY NOW CALLED EVEREST THEY ARE SCAM ARTIST!!!!!)

In my opinion, this company is a scam! I believe they take your money and run! I advise others not to deal with them. You will likely lose your money!

I'm not a contractor but i was employeed there for a while i could'nt stand working there hearing all of those lies several sales reps were telling them. to all contractors DO NOT do any business with this company most of the time they do not have home owners that need work done they just want mark of comission there goal is to get your credit card and the money back guarantee is a lie you will not get your money back and for those who been offerd the free test drive is a lie also don't give up a 95 dollor set up fee your only getting your name on a list with other contractors once again don't let them fool you there goal is to get another price tag on the board . so contractors please be careful when you get a call from everycontractor. take it from someone who use to work there

i dont understand why people are not satisfied with EVERYCONTRACTOR me personally i love there business all i have to do was those three things they asked from me and i just kept getting great leads from them i would and have recdommended them to plenty other contractors u cant always believe what others always say i kinda did at first and im glad i joined up with them i believe the people who are complain are proly to lazy to really makw anything work i recomemnd to every on TRY IT THERE IS A MONEY BACK GURANTEE even tho I DIDNT NEED IT

Over a year ago, I was contacted by T. Scoggins, a sales rep for everycontractor.com to to accept their offer for increased business through qualified leads. He promised 12 sales leads for our audio-video business with a money-back guarantee. In addition, he said he could offer a discount of $300 so I took it. He also promised to personally check my information and would be available to help if we were having any problems. At that time, I thought it unusual that the agreement was a verbal one over the phone and tape recorded.

Well, months passed and no leads were forthcoming. I attempted to contact T. but he was never available , nor did he return my call. When I did call again, the operator put me in touch with another operator who confirmed our information looked great and to be patient. Fast forward to over 1 year later. Only one lead was received and it was bogus(cross referenced the name,address, and phone number).

Since we did not receive the guaranteed 12 leads, I called in May to ask for a refund. The first person I spoke with told me the ad looked good and that we had "complied " with the terms and conditions. Then I was forwarded to C. Newrones, who is the person in charge of these matters. I must say that I was treated incredibly brusquely and rudely only to be told that a refund was not forthcoming because we had not updated our profile one time.

This of course, contradicted the first person with whom I spoke. It turns out the profile update is just a mechanism to give everycontractor.com an out so as not to have to give anyone's money back since a) requiring each customer to go to the website every three months and just hit update button is just a formality and b) more importantly, never changed our profile so there was no affect whatsoever in providing leads to us.

To attempt to appease me, she offered an extended term which looked more like a classic bait and switch to me. I obviously declined based upon the history of the account. It appeared her only job was to say no and keep the "customer" from receiving their money back, even though they had not even egun to honor their money -back guarantee of 12 qualified leads.

R. Day who told me he is under D. Johnson (president of the company) and asked what he could do to make me happy. I patiently explained what had happened and he said that I sounded like a very reasonable person and that their company clearly did not honor their end of the bargain. He further elaborated by saying if it was up to him, he would do the right thing and refund the money because he was a man of integrity. But he said unfortunately it was out of his hands and up to D. to make the final decision.

After several phone tags, I finally was able to speak with R. again and he said he would try to get a conference call with the president. D. Johnson called back but did not leave a message. After that, I tried to call him and R. back but they never returned my calls. This went on for a couple of months but to no avail-everycontractor.com standing firm and refusing to honor their money back guarantee because of a technicality. All of this for $699 when they allegedly do contracts for $25,000.

It became increasingly obvious to me that everycontractor.com had no intention of honoring their money- back guarantee. I would NEVER recommend doing business with an unethical company like this. If they spent a fraction of their time actually working on providing good leads as opposed to protecting themselves(via "documented" recorded agreements), then they might actually be considered a real business and provide a real service. If you want legitimate business leads, STAY AWAY from everycontractor.com and find some else more reputable. Since they will not honor their money back guarantee, we are out $699.

I have been chasing EveryContractor for over a year trying to get my money back. I had David promise me that they would get me business and the be patient. I have filed complaints with the better business bureau and now I'm looking to start a class action lawsuit against them. So, all of you contractors that are still owed money, please contact me so we can get this lawsuit going.

Rick from Las Vegas? What's really funny "Dave" I mean Rick from Las Vegas is that I have never signed up any contractor for Las Vegas. So instead of putting up fake complaints and trying to hurt someone via the internet, why not come to my office or call me and we can meet up and discuss this. Oh and I will bring Tom with me!

We received a phone call from Everycontractor.com with a special promotion of 11 months of guaranteed leads for $95. It has been three months and we have received two bogus leads. We keep receiving a phone call from a young lady named Angel who keeps ofeering us a guarantee of thousands of dollars worth of business for $5,000. After receiving two leads in the past 3 months and reading the complaints, we have decided against this company. Stop Calling Us!

For the sum of $3000.00 everycontractor promised to provide work for my company "Loess Hills Heating & Air Conditioning" to exceed $45,000 over the course of one year. They lied to me about needing a contractor for a big job to be done right away. I have had only one bogus lead sense my contract went into force. I have tried to maintain contact with the company and follow thier rules, but now I can't seem to get anyone to call back and I can't get on the web site.

My contract went into force 12/06/08. I am out the $3000.00 plus 40 to 60 hours of time spent dealing with this company that I could have spent on real job leads, and bussiness matters.

well like a dumb ass who really needed work i did. everything he said was a lie.. i called the fbi fruad dept and low and behold mark helton and several other key players in las vegas are under investigation for fruad, defruading a creditcard company,telemarketing fruad, and much more according to the FBI fruad dept and it is just a matter of time before warrent are served says one agent. I hope its soon thanks for nothing mark

I received a phone call asking us if our company would do a basement remodel in Milton (a local area for us) When I asked the caller for more info about what she was looking for she said "About 1400 sq feet, 2 beds and a bathroom" but refused to give me her address or any more info and then insisted I have "the owner" call her back. When I asked how she found our company she said "the internet" I checked the toll free # and discovered it was for "Everycontractor.com" So she was lying to get a call back from us. If they lie on their first contact with us it is a clear indication of the way the company operates.

I signed up with Everycontractor which was a huge mistake. They hadn't delivered on anything they promised. I filed a complaint with my credit card company which lost. I called in May 09 to find out when my agreement was up which started May 09. I was told that due to filing complaint with credit card company the start date was changed and would expire 12/09. I wasn't notified of this; wasn't sent any paperwork to sign.

When I told the representative of Eerypainter that I did not want to participate in their services,I hung up, and he called me back 2 more times, continualy harassing me. I told him that I would report him to donotcall.gov, and he said that if I hung up on him again, that he would post my phone number to every gay **** site there is (seriously!) and that I was stupid as a rock and that's why I am a painter. I then told him that I have two degrees in both psychology and philosophy, afterwhich he told me again that I was stupid. Before all of this happened, they called and were rude when I asked questions. IT IS A SCAM, THESE PEOPLE ARE UNPROFESSIONAL, YOU ARE THROWING YOUR MONEY AWAY. DO NOT DO IT.

I have been a local contractor for 15 years here in Las Vegas. I have never used EveryContractor.com or ANY lead service provider, because I don't have to!!!! I'm not a lazy contractor who can't go out and find my own work. It is YOUR own fault if you have been supposedly scammed by a lead service provider. Read the TERMS AND CONDITIONS of the program. Of course the company is going to make it difficult for you to follow. When you buy something from a store and their is a rebate involved, do they make it EASY for you to get the money????? HECK no!!!! They want you to forget to postmark the envelope my the date required. You have to make copies of the receipt, cut out the upc codes on the box and fill out the rebate form. Now I have had rebates from certain stores and I FULLY understood what I had to do, but I still messed up before and didn't send it in time. So what happened was I didn't get the rebate because I didn't follow the rules. Same thing here. I see all these contractors making complaints, but what I see is YOU didn't follow the rules. FOLLOW THE RULES AND YOU WON'T HAVE THIS PROBLEM!!!! OR stop being lazy and get work hard and get your own business so you won't give someone the opportunity to supposedly RIP you off.

Everycontractor.com promised me that they were going to make me win $70,000.00 in profit and I have not received a single lead from them. This is so crazy because I paid $2,500.00 for their services. This company is a scam.

I'm a general contractor in Los Angeles Area, Since last year people from every contractor.com started contacting me, they offered pretty much the same like they did to other contractors, I didn't bite, last ime they call was on april the 28 2009, they offered all they could, they beg, they lower the price from $699 to $ 350, I finally told them that the real reason I was not going to get the service was their bad reputation.

I originally signed up for the lead program for $999.00 which was suppose get me flooring leads. Most of the leads would either be bogus or for services that were not in my field of work. Then they called about there preferred contractor service where they have a written gaurantee to get me $500,000 worth of work for $25,000. Well I was reluctant but Doc (sales person) keep calling and calling and reassurring me that it's all in writing so I said send over the contract and I will review. I reviewed the contact and told them I would pay the first installment of $6,250.00 and see how they do before I would agree to any further progress payments. They agreed.

Problem being is that they claimed to have a contractor specialist that is assigned to our account and would do nothing but find work for us (This was there claim). Well it been almost 3 months now and I have never gotten a call from this person to find out exactly what we do and the type of we specialize in. Numerous calls made to them to find out about this person and they just take messages or says he's tied up and the operator continues to tell me what they have done for me.

They have sent over about 10 leads (which if from the $999.00 I already paid) and most where bogus leads. Consumers were either really not ready or willing to pay or already hired contractors. They have done nothing for my $6,250.00 but tell me how good they are.

i was contacted by everycontractor.com to join there team. i was promised at least 12 jobs for the following year if i paid 999.00. i told there rep that usually when something sounds to good to be true it usually is, he asked me what my biggest concern was and i told him i had a problem first with the money and second with getting into something that i have no idea about the company and with no assurance if it was going to work or not. so i asked him for the company name so i could do a check on them. after i said that he dropped the price twice, first to 499 then to 250.

that made me weary and suspicious, if somebody is that desperate to get any money from you than it doesn't seem to legit to be true. if there services were like they say they are than the price should be firm or at most go down maybe 200 bucks but that low, no way.

so here i am doing some reading and after all these complaints i have to say a very firm, HELL NO!!

thank god i didnt get into it because otherwise i would be kicking myself in the butt after reading all your complaints.

I recently submitted a written complaint towards Everycontractor.com and some of its employees out of frustration because I feel that I am owed a refund. It is not my intent to materially damage everycontractor.com by false statements as regards to any refunds I feel that is owed to me. My intentions were solely based on instances which occurred over the phone after my contract with them expired and I wanted my money back.

My feelings of being brushed aside over a period of a few months when my contract with everycontractor.com ended, led to the complaint. I really do not know why my company profile was neglected over the course of the year and I am assuming everycontractor.com is working towards better management practices with the multitudes of contracts they service. That being said; I can say to this date, everycontractor.com is working to establish amends with my company. In particular, Ashley Biersach is very efficient in handling disgruntled vendors whom everycontractor.com has a relationship with. I would also like to add at this point, that the CEO (David Johnson) of everycontractor.com unexpectedly called me a few hours after I posted my complaint. Of course, the CEO had no idea I complained at the time and was trying to make amends for the mishap of everycontractor.com overlooking my company throughout the year.

Overall, the experience has been a great learning tool and I am also pleased to say that the wrong done towards my company is quickly being undone by Ashley. And YES I followed the contract to the letter unlike a lot of other complaints posted.

The deal was: I pay them $4000.00 and they guaranteed me $60,000 in profit of work. That would probably equate to about $200,000.00 in won bids or something like that. All I had to do was a few things to keep my end of the contract which a followed to the letter. Unfortunately, only one lead was given in the period of time they had and I declined it because it had nothing to do with what we do. I have spoken with Ron Davidson many times who tells me his office looks at the CEO office and they always give me the run around. His ext. is 2267 I believe. I also have talked with Tiffany many times and get the same result. John Taylor was the person who started the fraud with me about a year and 5 months ago.

All I really want is my money back like they guaranteed me in the first place. I dont deserve the run around.

Well I finally have had enough of the run around and filed a fraud criminal investigation with the FBI. SO, if anyone else has had the same problem, I would recommend doing the same and file a fraud complaint with you local state FBI agent. I hope David Johnson will be soon eceiving a 'knock and talk' from the FBI and shut him down. It would be nice to get my money first, but tht company needs to go away and they need to go to jail.

I spend more time calling the company to try to access leads that have never suit my business. After five months nothing worth the time and expense!

Everycontractor.com sold us on there preffered contractor program that guarenteed us $22,000 in sales / work, or our money would be refunded. The cost of there program was $1500. Throughout the year we did not receive one legitamate lead, or a single job from every contractor. We contacted them to find out what was going on and why we were not receiving leads.

They told us they would get us work if we were patient. They never got us work or even a lead. At the end of our contract we called them to get our money back. They refused. I do not want to type out all of the conversations I had with them but they never returned phone calls lied to us and scam people for there money. I have a floder of documented calls and information of the run around they gave us over a 3 month period of trying to resolve the issue.

We also contacted another individual who had the same experience of getting ripped off, and there are many more. We tried to get our credit card company to resolve the issue but since we dealt with them personaly and didnt infor our credit card company right away they said they could do nothing. All we want is our money back based on principal. I have pages of information I can send about the issue.

It cost our business $1500 plus interest that accured on our credit card. I spent months of my time trying to reslove the issue, and we are a company going out of business that is shutting down with debt and every dollar counts. This company should be looked into and shut down they are scam artists.

I was contacted by a representative of everycontractor.com who was offering a guarenteed, money back program to provide my company with new work. This program was designated as thier leeds program. These leeds were people requesting work in my area. I'm an electrical contractor who's based in a small area outlying a major market. It surprised me that such a small community would have so many requests for electrical work.

This surprised me because I've been working in this area for 16 years and have a substantial network of fellow contractors that are knowledgeable of possible jobs in this community. I agreed to thier money back guarentee leeds program. Paid them 699.00, discounted from 900.00.

Started receiving emails shortly thereafter. Responded to the emails, either accepting or rejecting these leeds. Most leeds (emails) were received on Fridays or weekends. These project leeds were often sizeable jobs that would require more several days, even weeks to accurately estimate and submit an honest bid. The bid due date was typically the following Monday. These I rejected and noted not enough time to respond.

I'm not opposed to putting in the extra hours to bring in work, but these leeds were laughable. I don't think an electrical company in the state could legitimately deliver an honest bid in this length of time. I continued to monitor these emails leeds everyday. Without fail they continued coming in throughout the weekend. Repeatidly I rejected the leeds due to time constraints. Eventually I failed to respond to these after hour leeds, and typical non business hour emails being received.

As part of my agreement with everycontractor.com's leeds program, was to respond within 24 hours of receiving the request. They assured me of 12 guarenteed jobs, not just leeds, over the next year, or my money would be refunded.

Eventually the emails stopped coming despite my timely response and refusal of leeds. Initially I attempted to do the take offs of these projects that were sent via email. Unfortuanately these plans were only viewable with the purchase of an online software product. So I rejected them. Never was able to see any of the plan sets via links provided through the leeds program.

Never did have the opportunity to submit a bid for any leed sent to me.

The emails stopped, figured I'd been ripped off for 699.00 dollars. Wrote off this as a lesson learned until I receive a phone call from everycontractor.com. The representative on phone wanted me to sign up for the preferred contractors program. The program only cost 3000.00 dollars. This program is not a LEEDS program, but guaranteed work. Work valued at 65,000 dollars plus.

I explained that the leeds program produced 0.0O dollars, why would I pay more money for nothing? They explained the leeds program was not guarenteed jobs, but just a contact looking for contractors to bid work. The preferred contractors program was actual work.

I requested they send me one actual job in good faith for the 699.00 dollars paid for the leeds program which didn't produce. They declined. I requested they provide one contact reference contractor who's received an actual job from this program, they declined. I expressed my dissatisfaction with the leeds program and asked to speak to someone who could refund my money. They recited a list of responses to the leeds program that violated my contract with them. Followed that up with another sales pitch for the preferred contractors program. Offerred to send me one job in exchange for my 500.00 dollar good faith deposit.
I declined. I expressed to the representative that thier product was non existent, the only product they were selling was pie in sky for desperate contractors wishing to stay afloat. I asked they not contact me anymore.

I would be more than happy to contribute to stopping this company from future theft from hard working, honest people in this country.

Other than the losing 699.00 dollars and waiting numerous hours chasing ficticuous information, no damage was incurred. The only damage is to my dignity and faith intrusted in this so called companies product.

I was approached by EveyContractor and I read all these complaints, but I went ahead and I am trying it. I figure it only takes me one job to make my money back 699. I have one two jobs 3 months. I have made a profit. Some leads are junk but overall my experience hs been good.

I felt it was important to write a comment on hear just so a positive experience could be heard. I make it a strong point to check such web sites as this one when I am considering working with a new company, especially if it involves an investment on my part. The repersentative that contacted me called and said she had some work in the area and if I had room to take on new projects. I said yes but asked what all was involved. She explained the whole program to me and I was a bit skeptical. I was getting a so called 40% discount on the normal $999. Non the less I took her information and began doing my own research.

This was the first web site that came up after typing the company name into google.com. I was horrified to see all of the compalints that were listed and contacted her right away to decline the offer. She then had me speak with another gentleman who went through the compalints and how most were invalid. He gave me two regerences to call and both checked out okay.

In the end I decided to join the network. I was worried as hell that I had made a mistake. Less then one week after joining the Program for $600 I recieved and contacted the first lead and won the job. It has now been 2 months and I have accepted and won 3 out of the SEVEN leads that have been sent so far. I have gained my investment back and more. In my experience, Everycontractor has held up their end of the deal ten-fold. I couldn't be more satisfied. I hope more contractors are able to have the same experience!

We entered into an agreement with everycontractor.com that guaranteed a ROI of 20times the money spent to this day we have recieved $0.00 in contracted sales. for the $4000.00 spent to get signed up with them.

They are now refusing to make any refunds claiming we didn't respond to job requests withen 24 hours, requests wer'e only sent to our fax machine after hours or on Fridays when wer'e closed for the weekend, their paperwork says quote THERE'S NO CONTRACT...THERE'S NO RISK...THERE'S NO REASON NOT TO USE THIS PROGRAM! ACompany Profile You CAn Update Yourself at Anytime Notification of Project Leads Sent Via Email, Fax, and Automated Phone Call After a Lead Is Qualified.

We never got any Phone Calls and only started getting emails after we complained.

Wer'e out $4000.00 for services that we never recieved

Ed L. called me almost every day and eventually I signed with Every Contractors when they offered me the service for half off! So I went with it.

She was good at putting the blame on me so I "updated" the profile and let it go. I forgot all about it until October when I decided to give these people a piece of my mind. Again I called and again the guy who answered was trainned very well in the art of making it look like my fault!!! He went on about how I had not updated my profile since April and that was why and so on. Again I should have received 1 in April 1 in May and 1 in June, but NO Every Contractor gave me nothing!

Again I updated my profile and the guy assured me he "could get me some jobs". All of the sudden it is Exactly one year later January 22nd, 2009. So I called them today and guess what the lady who answered went on and on about how it was my fault again!!!! I told her that they should train less on how to cover their own behind and train more on how to keep their word!!!

I have requested a full reimbursement, lets see how that goes. The lady (Monica) told me I should be getting a call with in the next 24 hours.

I signed up with EveryContractor.com as a Preferred Contractor. According to the contract. They were going to provide me with $72,000 worth of business and had 1 yr to do that or I would receive my $3000.00 back which I paid to be a part of the Preferred Contractor Program.

In actuality, I received one real lead in one year and was told that I cant have my money back as I have not followed all the rules

We were contacted by the perpetrator and promised 12 leads per month. We have spent considerable time trying to work with the perpetrator to either start receiving leads or receive a refund, but to no avail. A careful review of the facts has revealed that we were ripped-off. We strongly urge other contractors to avoid this company. Also, we would be very interested in joining a class action law-suit against them.

We have lost $699.00 and several hours of valuable time in trying to reason with these people. Our patient and factual approaches have been met with rough, rude, and highly unprofessional behavior.

David Johnson COO and CEO of everycontractor.com, you are not getting out of this one. Here are the facts (all of this documentation is supported by e-mails, phone records, and recorded calls by the quality control system in our office (yes the recorded calls are legal). Just in case they try to hide behind the statement of I the contractor did not keep my end of the agreement, I would do the updates to their system and it would tell me they went through, too bad it only started sending error messages on 10/29/2008 after I tried entering feedback info and picking up or rejecting leads, so if they try to say I did not do it right, then the conversations I had with their support team telling me they finally got the system fixed must have been from someone elses support team and not theres. Also I contact customers immediately, my closing percentage is 85% when I give my customers a presentation, and I receive leads off my own website:

1.) Contracted with everycontractor on 08/01/2007 for leads in my area all ready to give to me once I fill out my profile in full, for a grand sum of $499.00 instead of $999.00. I was told by Rich Taylor ( by the way Rich, when this turns into a class action lawsuit, I will name you personally like everyone elses name here in that lawsuit due to the hundreds of hours wasted with the bogus system you got me started with)would receive a minimum of 12 leads in 1 year. Was told I would have support at everycontractor and all of my leads would be scrubbed and prequalified. Filled out profile that night, called next day and all leads in my area were gone except the one they sent me that day, the one they called me on, too bad it was too far out of my area, I asked if it was in Orange County Ca. and was told yes, too bad it was in Riverside over 45 miles away, was told they come in all the time and they were doing new advertising and I would get some soon.

2.) Several weeks go by and no leads, I continue to make phone calls to everycontractor and I am reminded they did not have to fulfill their end of the bargain until the year was up. Finally start speaking to Tara Downey who was supposed to be the supervisor in charge of that department.

3.) I then received a phone call from everycontractor, but, it was not what I wanted, but, the pitch was the same hi this is Inisha Ligon with everycontractor, we are contacting you today to see if you are looking to take on extra work, we have over 2 dozen leads in your area right now.? I said WOW that is great, I am a contractor with you guys already, I am ready to write that scrubbed lead info down right now?, after a long pause and the jaw being picked up off the floor I was told that these leads were not for me and for new people, they told me they would make sure I was off the list. Finally on 09/25/2007 Tara Downey tells me she is so concerned about me being contacted and that she was going to give me her personal cell number to make sure I was taken care of.

4.) After over 7 phone calls back and forth, I am told I should be a preferred contractor. Tara Downey told me that by reading my profile, viewing my website, and talking to me about my business that I was a perfect candidate for the Preferred Contractor program, and that they normally do not let people in unless they were with them for a year. I wish they would have told me that this meant that I preferred to get out while I still could. Then I was played a beautiful symphony by Richard Colquitt. He told me, With this program we do a higher level of prequal, call and speak to the customer one on one, verify everything, and then set the appointment for you, we will guarantee that you get $69,890.00 worth of sales out of this in one year.? This all sounded so great I swallowed it hook, line, and credit card. I spent an additional $3,000.00 on 06/11/2007 with them to get this program; this money was pale in comparison to the amount of time they were going to save me chasing down leads, right. Needless to say, the leads still did not come.

5.) Between 11/09/2007 and 11/25/2007 I received a total of 5 leads, too bad 4 were out of my area and the other would never call back. I called to find out why I was getting leads out of my area, again, and I was told it was a programming error on their side and they would fix it soon. Lets take a look at the stats;

A.) Between 08/01/2007 and 12/11/2008 total of 43 leads.

B.) Number of leads out of my area rejected 6 leads

C.) Total number rejected due to misinformation 8 leads

D.) Total appointments booked, no bid given, No $ 1 lead

E.) Leads not reachable by phone or email 16 leads

F.) Hired contractor before I got lead 7

G.) Were only looking for price, not serious 5

H.) Number of phone calls/emails. 314

I.) Time wasted total so far w/leads 235.5 hours

J.) Time wasted with everycontractor 42.25 hours

K.) Times I had to edit profile/ w bad system 19

6.) I continued to receive the phone calls asking me to join because there was work in my area, after a total 17 of these calls, I finally got through to David Johnson. He then starting asking me allot of questions about how I process the leads from start to finish. I even emailed over some of my quotes for him to look at to tell me if I was on the right track. He told me that my quotes were the most detailed and in depth in description of the project, what was going to happen, and when, etc. He mentioned that it was not crazy with every square inch of everything noted by some other contractors bids and like mine, but, very solid, easily readable, understandable in laymens terms and well drafted.

He did state one flaw, I was giving everything in bulk, and he recommended that I give the customer a basic package, and then give the other items as a-la-cart. He also complimented me on my website which had a higher page rank then his for several key words, and that I had ranked number 6 in the whole country for Bathroom Remodeling?, and that he wanted to talk to me again about my SEO and how I gained that knowledge. He also stated that my profile was superb on every contractor and he rarely sees anybody take the time without prodding to get there profile appearing and sounding that professional.

I took his advice along with his promise that I would be high on his priority list and he was going to assign someone to my account who would take care of it. To bad that person got reassigned 1.5 weeks later and left me in the dirt.
7.) Called in about 2 weeks later on 01/18/2008 after an email from David that he was trying to get a hold of me. He stated that he took a look at my profile again, and recommended to increase my service area from Orange County Ca to expand into the surrounding areas. I agreed and they expanded my service area. He told me to contact him personally if I was not being treated as he promised. Needless to say, still no qualified leads.

8.) Got 1 lead Feb 4, 2008 not able contact, 1 lead March 14, 2008 not able to contact, this usually means that the lead was not valid and they more than likely bought the persons info from a survey company, this is what I was told when I finally reached someone, they told me the only thing they went online for was to do a survey on a toaster they bought and were bombarded with people calling to remodel their kitchen, too bad they did not think it was funny. If the customer is really interested, a majority of their info will appear on the lead sheet after you accept it, if all you get is the same phone number listed under all three with no address and no good description of the project, then more than likely the lead turned out to be bogus no matter how many times you called or how soon.

Kept calling everycontractor to find out what was going on. Turns out the new, new person was gone to another department and that I finally put up enough stink that they assigned someone else. This person and his promises and never came through. This next person told me that they did not have to call the customers to prequel them for me, nor set the appointments. I told him that it was in my contract, he said yeah, you might have been told that, but, it really is not done we do not have the manpower to do that. Why do they have that as one of their answers on the rejection system everycontractor set appointment?, well see how long it stays up there after this letter?

9.) After more broken promises I call David Johnson again. I call and ask for his extension, the naive person puts me through, and David Johnson picks up the phone and is immediately displeased that it is me again. I go through the problems again with him; he states that I have not followed their program on getting the leads in time. I then review the problems they have had with the website, and this time I saved the bounced back emails, and took snapshot of the page stating that I rejected/or accepted the lead for proof that I was following the protocol and getting my leads in a time specified.

All of the leads they claim I did not pick up in time. If you notice they are all in November and December, which we know are the slower months for leads for contractors, and we all know that we are always looking for as much work as possible, particularly to get through the slower months, there would be no reason not to jump on these opportunities. Later on, they claimed these would not affect me when it came time for my warranty, I was wrong to believe them, I should have insisted they fix them right then and there, they claimed it was not possible.

We signed up with Everycontractor.com in Nov. of 2007 for $400. We were guaranteed 12 leads per year. We only received 5. The leads went nowhere. They were either out of our area, incorrect information on where the job was located or who to contact, no bid documents available, we were not given sufficient amount of time to put together bids and one lead never returned our call.

We were also lead to believe we were the only exclusive contractor in our area getting these leads and we would be contacted first. In their documentation on our receipt, it reads This top placement will put your company above your competition and provide you with exposure in the leading destination on the Internet for seekers of professionals in your field. We found out that we were not the only contractors bidding the projects because they were advertised elsewhere.

Not only was the online profile complicated, time consuming and teadious to go through but we had trouble viewing plans and specs on their website and not able to download their plan viewer. They only supplied plans and specs for commercial, not residential.

Every time we called in about a problem, it always came back to the same thing - You need to update your profile as though it was our fault. I've spent way too much time and effort updating our profile, calling customer service, and documenting all the nonsense and excuses we were receiving. Halfway through the year, and only 3 leads, we told them this is not working for us and we would like to get a refund. We were told we had to stay with it for the year.

In their documentation is says, they offer guranteed revenue programs for member contractors which we have received zero;custom marketing and web services which all we got was a one page website that had our company name and address with a coming soon sign on it.

After we had already been signed up with Everycontractor.com we received 3 phones calls from sales reps wanting us to sign up with everycontractor.com. They would preface the call by saying, We have leads for work in your area or we've got someone looking for a grading contractor in your area. If there was work, why were we not notified? If it was not really a lead for our scope of work, then why were they calling us? Why are they looking for a grading contractor when they already have one - us?! We were told these account managers do not have a list in front of them to know who is already signed up. Why can't they?

Everycontractor.com was not as what was represented with bogus leads and bogus excuses. We're just glad we didn't spend any more than $400 but it was a total waste of money and time.

I paid $500 for their listing service where they will guaratee me 12 jobs within 1 year from when I signed up. She called me several times and kept dropping the price until I signed up. Now I can't reach her at all because I haven't received 1 job from this service. I do keep my profile up to date, but the leads they send are not qualified leads. I pursued one lead with several e-mails and she told me she signed up for a kitchen remodel giveaway. I was given her contact info as a lead for a kitchen remodel because I'm a cabinet dealer. I called EC to complain that they were giving me false leads and they just switched me around to different departments hoping I would get tired and hang up. I've had the service since September 2008 and have not received one job yet.

Financial damage is the amount I paid of $500.00. I wish I could get it back. I sure could use it to pay other bills!

Everycontractor has been around for 11 years and that is why I decided to try doiong business with them. I have bought leads from EC for a little while, and although their service is not perfect it works pretty good.

We spent over $1,000 signing up for their service andit took a month or so before we got any good leads, but then we won 2 jobs that totaled over $24,000 in work so thats a party. Making money takes work and with Everycontractor it is no different, but contractors have to put in an effort and learn about the internet because that is where the world is headed.

For $1,000 I would recieve 12 leads, I told them I would think about it, so the manager got on the phone and told me if I sign up today they would drop the price to $500, I told them I would think about over the weekend. He then said I was waisting his time when he called me. I told him never to call me again. The next couple days one of the operators kept calling me. 1 month later Tim Douglass called me and said for $400 I could get set up. I talk to Tim Douglass for about 20 minutes on the phone as he smoothed everything out, so I thought,

I signed up and I never got my user password or any fax for my contract. After repeat phone calls to get my fax, passwords, or any one (who was not on another line) I am fed up. It has been a month now and because they have not contacted me I have not been able to set up my account, which means the agreement has been voided on my part. Never sign up with these people, it can happen to you!

I signed up for everycontractor in 08/2008 I have gotten 30 leads since than I have won about 3 jobs.. The only problem I have with them is I think they need to change the time to pickup leads to 48 hours

They sold me a lead service and promised 3 leads the next working day (monday). I didnt get them. The guy that sold me would not return my multiple phone calls. their website for contractor's login is full of bugs and is almost totally unusable.

loss of $75 sign up fee.

Earlier this last year I started receiving numerous phone calls from Evereycontractor.com? in regards to their Contractors Lead Services. At first I was disregarding their calls. Months later business started slowing down in my area due to the economy, so I thought I would try working with a lead service to obtain more options for future projects. After speaking with there Sales Representative (Marvin) on several phone calls, I thought Gee What a great service and opportunity to advance with additional project.

The Sales Rep was very professional and convinced me to sign up for their services. But at that point I thought there fee was a bit high considering I did not have much information about them. The Sale Rep directed me to several website regarding there services that were very impressive. He also had lowered the start up fee and stated that I could provide my credit card or bank info so they could withdraws directly from my account for the balance. At this time I had decided to try their services and boy was that a huge mistake.

I have been a member for over four months and I have yet to receive just one adequate lead where I could meet the client or even provide an estimate for there project. Many of the clients had informed me that these leads were weeks, if not months old at that time, leads that the clients had received over seventeen calls from contractors in the last 48 hours (Creating bidding wars and aggravation for the client) and never needed services in there homes in the first place. So this makes me really wonder were they obtain their leads from? Once you are signed up with their service and they guarantee your 12 leads a year, you will never hear from them again nor will you be able to contact your Sales Rep if there is an issue. I personally have left over 25 messages with there service department over the last four months with no replies what so ever. This is not counting all the email I had sent as well. Get the point yet? If you questioning in your mind what I am stating? Do your homework online and check the Local BBB of Las Vegas and you will understand more clearly. Need I say anymore? Beware and save you hard earned dollars instead of feeding the liars they employ.

I was call asked to join for $900.00 when I said I was with another company they called the next day for $750.00 so i joined them also on 10-22-08 since then I have not heard from them every call no response, no leads

We signed up In April 2007. $500 for 12 guaranteed leads for our construction firm. While confirming the information to set the account up the sales rep Sam Mizrahi talked me into coughing up an additional $3500.00. Nothing to worry about the program has a 100% guarantee. If we don find you $X of work we will give you your money back at the end of the 12 month contract. Leads started coming in immediately. Great, I thought, we'll be at the guaranteed amount before the year is up!!

Unfortunately, every lead was a dud. Some of them were months old and the job had been assigned or didn't exisit in the first place. Like a good subscriber, I updated my profile every month or so, responded to leads usually within hours, completed the all important feedback, etc.

In November, 2007 Every Contractor posted a lead and didn't contact me to inform me it was there. I just happened to visit the site to keep the profile updated and found it. I immediately called to confirm this was an error and it did not affect the guarantee. I was assured that it wouldn't be a problem. Of course it was a very big problem as the end of the contract approached. I called to find out what I had to do to apply for the refund. I was curtly informed that I had nothing coming because a lead sat on our account for 21 days without being accepted or rejected!!

To make a real long story short, I filed a complaint with the Las Vegas BBB. EveryContractor accused me of neglect and breaking the agreement. Unfortunately for them, all of our office phones and faxes are internet based. I have records of all incoming and outgoing calls. At no time in November did everycontractor attempt to call or fax that lead.

I am now in the process of filing a complaint with the State Attorney Generals office in Nevada. For my personal satisfaction, I am also filing a civil suit in Florida (small claims).As the rip-off took place in Florida, and I and the work that was supposed to be done was in Florida, I can use the local county small claims court and don't have to go to Vegas to file.

Things at EveryContractor must be a mess. One of the girls I got when I called said she was about to quit because she couldn't handel the complaints. Aside from the $4000.00 our company lost, I spent hours chasing rubbish leads and even more time trying to get my money back.

Signed up for a no risk term guaranteeing 6 qualified leads in the first year. Received 4 leads after 2 months. None fit my business and three were the same job. None of the contacts were valid. Received no other leads.

Registration fee and time wasted dealing with a bunch of sheisters.

i was contacted by Bob on or about October 1st. Told me that everycontractor was a reliable and safe way to get leads for work. I told them I cannot give $600.00 over the phone nor the internet because I do not trust anyone. They gave me alead for free for the first time in, I met up with customer, bid the work, but found out he got me on craigslist via eevrycontractor. I did the small job, customer paid , I called Bob back the following monday to thank him and to let him know I was definetly interested in joining , seeing that I was given a good quality lead. I explained I did not want to pay 600 dollars up front without doing a bit more research.

They told me that they had a more affordable program that would only cost 75 dollars for a background check on me. I was very hesitant when they said that because i could not understand why they would give me lead then want to do a background check?!! So I exclaimed I was going to do more research.

After eading all the BBB and consumer reports on everycontractor, I decided to not go through with it. I can see that they are a rip off scam !! I feel sorry for all of you who lost big $$$, fortunatley I havent lost a dime and I can see that chances are I too wouldve been out of 600 if I would have proceeded!

I joined Everycontractor on 6/18/07 with a featured listing and received 2 leads on 6/25/07, and rejected both of them ( actually the same job ) because it wasnt on my listing.

On 7/5/07 I received 2 new leads ( again for the same job ) and accepted them but was never able to contact the customer after the initial contact. I was still hopeful the system would work and spent time updating my profile to get it refined, so when I got several calls about upgrading to a preferred listing, I finally upgraded on 7/9/07 for $3,000.00 with a guaranteed return of $45,000.00 or a refund.

Since that time I have received a total of 8 leads ( for 6 different jobs ), and updated my profile 27 times from 6/18/07 until 9/15/08 that equates to 3 times a month more than the required quarterly update.

Of the 8 leads ( actually 6 ), I accepted 5 of them but never got any work because I couldnt contact the customer for the first 4 and the last lead ( 6/15/08 ) was actually for a commercial job that after reviewing the specs, the portion I would have been bidding on actually was already contracted to a sole vendor, and was in the original specifications and not added as an addendum.

I tried to contact Everycontractor after the year was up on 7/5/08 using their web site feedback, email, and by phone but received no response until my last phone call on 9/30/08.

When I finally got through to a customer service rep ( I was told that the 3 names I had for a coordinator didnt matter all reps handled all accounts ) and explained that I wanted to know the procedure for a refund as guaranteed. The rep told me that wouldnt be a problem but need to get my account file and put me on hold for several minutes.

I was told that the refund wouldnt be possible without further review because I didnt live up my part of the agreement. When I questioned him what wasnt done, I was informed that one of the leads given on 9/22/07 ( Saturday ) wasnt picked up until 9/25/07 ( Tuesday ). I told the rep that I had been trying to contact the customer and had been in contact with Everycontractor the whole time getting additional help from them in the attempt when I was told to finally reject the lead. I was told that made no difference, to records didnt reflect anything except that I didnt accept or reject the lead within 24 hours this was never discussed at anytime during the contact attempts.

I was then told that that the last lead was also outside the pickup limits. The lead was given on 6/15/08 and accepted on 6/16/08 when I contacted the customer and he agreed to send the project specs and drawings. When I told him the lead date and accept date, I was told that I exceeded the time limit by 2 hours.

I was told that I would be contacted about the refund guarantee and in the meantime my account would remain active and that I would start receiving more leads. Since that time I have not received any leads, emails or phone calls, nor had any of mine returned. In addition I cannot login to my account.

It cost me $ 3,000.00 for this lesson. Dont make the same mistake stay away from Everycontractor.com and ER Management.

Being the Director of Customer Compliance of this company, I would like to offer the following information regarding these unfortunate complaints from our cherrished clients. In response to these reports, it would be a lengthy process for us to pull up the records of each of the customers due to the lack of company or customer name to search. What I would like to offer is for anyone reading this response to either check us out at EVERYCONTRACTOR.COM or call our toll free number at 888.881.7254 24 hours a day 7 days a week for any additional information. We would be more than happy to answer any questions and address any concerns of the involved parties or any person reading this.

This is the same company that is registered for IPInvestments.com. That company files frivolous lawsuits to extort money from small businesses. No surprise that they are affiliated with this site!

My small company of five is looking at anywhere between $25K and $1M (we don't have) to defend against a false patent-infringement. This is basically extortion since the legal costs are equal or more than the cost to settle. This is legalized extortion!

reactor?).

I decided to have some fun with these guys just to see if their sham worked. I put on a wig and sunglasses so they couldn't recognize me and then called them up. I said i was looking for some landscape work in auburn (shhh, this is where i live and work). I gave everycontractor my wifes number. Well, when i get home she tells me EC was trying to hook her up with some dude called 'Steve' (hey Steve!stay away from my wife man!!, oh, I'm sorry, you just called because you wanted to landscape my yard). My company has 8 phones so I figure I can pull this trick off 8 times before I'm caught (I probably wouln't get my 600.00 back but what fun I'll have with them).

I wish D. trum_ had a hot-line because I just don't know if I should renew this service or not, any suggestions?

they ripped me off for 600.00

I have had the same experience with this company. Gave them money, they promised work, got only duplicate, old leads that had been sent from other companies weeks earlier.Then they claim that if you dont update your profile every three months they cant send you leads and you cant get a refund for 12 months. This is all you will get period. Save your money and dont deal with everycontractor.com

NEVER HAPPENED. We did have all the projects he mentioned going on locally, but all already had landscape contractors lined up. These people seem to use every tactic in the bag and then some to only rip off hard working americans just trying to better themselves and promote their business.

I am not a large contractor, but am fastly on my way. WITHOUT the help of everycontractor.com. My business and reputation have been built on honesty and customer trust. It pains me to even think of all the promises that have been broken and hard earned money lost to these kinds of people.

I ,STUPIDLY, gave these people $3500.00 with the expectations of a great direction for my company. I thought I did all the research before investing. Everycontractor.com had few complaints and only two better business bureau disputes at the time of purchase,5/11/07. My contract expired yesterday with ZERO leads a year later. I will recover from the $3500.00 loss with a very valuble lesson learned. Stick with local advertising and names that you know and trust.

FAKE LEADS! For commercial leads, the GC hadn't even heard of everycontractor.com and hadn't solicited my type of bid. Residential leads were all phrased the same and every one, no matter how quickly I responded, had already secured a bid.

I lost a full year of marketing funds to this company.

I sighned up with them 5 months ago and they promise alot of leads of construction work in these five months I have not recived any leads in this time and they do not return my calls or e-mails.

Five years ago our company purchased a domain name and registered it with Everycontractor.com for $200.00 for 5 years. In February of this year they called wanting me to renew the name for another $200.00. We have not used the name but knew that we had it as soon as we developed a web page etc. Knowing that $200.00 is ridiculous for 5 years I asked that I transfer the name away from them. I was told that the name would go into a holding bin or some kind and that I needed to renew it right away.

Okay, this was stupid on my part; I paid them the $200.00 to renew the name and then asked that it be set up for transfer. My receipt shows this. My web designer tried to transfer the name and was given the run around for 4 days. He was even told that we needed to pay $600.00 for the name. He knew better and they told him they would email the transfer information. Of course we never heard back.

Everytime we called we were on hold for hours. I started calling and received the same treatment. I then find out that the name was purchased by another company that buys domain names back in 2006. So, I paid them for the original 5 years and then an additional 5 years and they didn't even have the name.

I finally got hold of the VP of operations who is a real ditz. It took me several calls with her. I explained that I wanted my $200.00 back and they needed to purchase the domain name back and transfer it to me. She tells me that she can't do that. She finally agrees to giving me the original $200.00 and the renewal totalling $400.00. She was to email me a release form of some kind. Not to my surprise, I can't seem to get the woman to send the form let alone the refund she promised. In the meantime I purchased the domain name back from buydomains.com. She actually had the never to say that there shouldn't be a problem because I hadn't used the name for the first 5 years.

I am out the $500.00 that it took to purchase the domain name. Everycontractor.com has the original $200.00 plus the renewal of $200.00 when they didn't even have the name when they renewed it with me. This has cost me many hours of my time.

I signed up with everycontractor.com. I had an agreement that they would provide a 20 to 1 return on investment. They explained that they have so much work that there customers need to pull their advertisement from time to time just to keep up with the work. I signed up as a perferred contractor for $3000.00. After 60 days and not receiving any work, I would email them no response. I would call, and when a real person DID pick up the phone I was told that major advertising in my area was going on, and I would receive work soon. In 1 year's time I received NO work. I finally got through to Everycontractor on the phone and was told that I did not return an email once during the 1 year period and this voided the contractor. OH. This also meant they did not have to return my $3000.00.

Everyone has complaints about services they chose to use. I used everycontractor and got great results so I dont beleive that all these people have not received leads, and after reading the complaints, they all sound exactly alike, and I do mean exactlty; like word for word, so It looks like someone got angry because they werent entitled to a refund after tems of the contract were not met (which are very strict). The company has been in business for over 10 years and had over 40,000 contractors. I seen about 6 or 7 complaints here, What percentage is that? Come on poeple think about it. Also have you looked at complaints from the homeowners stating not to use this service because some contractors dont contact them in a timely matter. Please if you're going to bash another company, do some real research. A few complaints within a company of that size is okay, Check out complaints on Disneyworld and They're the happiest place on earth.

I recently found your website and read the complaints that the numerous other individuals had about everycontractor.com. Reading their stories was like reading our own story, almost word for word. We are currently trying to obtain a $3,500 refund. What can we do as a group to help each other? Something has to be done and soon.

Loss of $3,500 plus the numerous hours spent attempting to get their so-called leads.

In January 2006 I purchased a preferred contractor program and was said to be guaranteed 15 times the amount of my investment ($3000) within 12 months--whether it takes 5 jobs to bid on or 50 jobs to bid on. "Our job is to deliver you the proper return on investment" was advertised in their packets. Also, in writing they guaranteed a return of $45,000 in the form of a signed and contracted job or a combination of signed or contracted jobs. They also claim an iron clad, money back guarantee if results are not met within 12 months. Well, one year went by and they delivered NO jobs. The leads they delivered were all dead leads. The potential clients would never schedule estimates and never return calls. Most of them seemed angry and annoyed I was contacting them.

Well, I tried to get my money back and was declined because one time throughout the year I did not press the save changes button for the address and business info that had not changed. So, instead they gave me a t-shirt (hardly worth $3000) and extended the advertisement with the same guarantee for one year. Another year has passed; and every time I call, the person I need to speak with is unavailable or not in. I have left several messages, and my calls have not been returned. Whatever you do--do not advertise with everycontactor.com!

The consequences of this are a loss of $3000 plus all the man hours it has taken to try to resolve this issue! These hours are still to be determined.

I purchase from Everycontractor.com a Preferred Contractor Program which guarantees $54,000 in contracted work within one year, with a guaranteed refund if I did not receive the contracted work/sales. I have often contacted my account rep and have emailed, requesting my $3,000 refund--and no response from the company. I received two leads of potential customers without funds to do the work; each were under $1,000. I have not had other leads from EveryContractor.com.

My business, Maintenance Made Simple, signed up with EveryContractor.com as a Preferred Contractor. According to the contract, which begun on 8/4/06, they were going to provide me with $72,000 worth of business from 8/4/06 to 8/4/07 or I would receive my $3000.00 back which I paid to be a part of the Preferred Contractor Program.

In actuality, I received $0.00 worth of business. I have called, emailed, faxed, and sent certified letters to EveryContractor.com stating that the contract has expired and I have yet to receive any response from the company.

This resulted in a loss of $3000 which I was promised would be returned to me if they did not meet their part of the contract.

I purchased an enrollment in EveryContractors Preferred Contractor Program on July 25, 2006 for my business in Modesto, California. My decision to purchase this program was based upon their offer of providing me a guaranteed return on investment in the from of signed and contracted jobs and/or sales. My purchased of the program constituted my acceptance of their offer, creating a binding and enforceable contract between us. I have performed my obligations under the contract. I paid the full purchase price of $3000 and then proceeded to fulfill my portion of the agreement. EveryContractor has failed to uphold their agreement with us. Past attempts to resolve this situation with their agency have gone without a responses.

I purchased an enrollment in EveryContractor's Preferred Contractor Program on July 28, 2006 for my business in Mount Laurel, New Jersey. My decision to purchase this program was based upon their offer of providing me a guaranteed return on investment (ROI) in the form of signed and contracted jobs and/or sales.? My purchase of the program constituted my acceptance of the offer, creating a binding and enforceable contract between us. I have performed my obligations under the contract. I paid the full purchase price of $3000 and then proceeded to fulfill my portion of the agreement by updating my profile, accepting/declining all leads, contacting customers in a timely manner, and providing feedback. I have requested a refund in accordance with the terms of the contract. However, attempts to resolve this situation with EveryContracor have gone without a response. EveryContractor claims that my profile was not updated until January of 2007,so they are not required to return my money until a year from that date. However, my program started in July 29, 2007. I accepted a job from them that same month--how could I accept a job on their website in July if I didn't update my profile until January? Also, everytime you access the website, your profile is updated. If that's the case, the year technically never ends.

EveryContractor failed to perform under the terms of their agreement and I am demanding my $3000 fee returned IAW the contract.
