There rife in other trades. When looking for a locksmith, alarm engineer and carpenter it was the same thing.   companies miles away acting as middle men making out they do the work themselves.

The 2nd one I've seen before probably around where I live, I've also found that there are loads more on the net and as google keeps shuffling the pack different companies keep coming up on top, the one thing about Yellow Pages was that it was a lot to advertise in it and it sorted out the professional outfit from the wanna be.

That Expert one looks like an email harvester except their link to their autoresponder is broke LOL.

There are a lot of companies setting up paid per lead because businesses got stung with websites/SEO that got zilch.

I would never pay for email leads. Most are either time wasters or nosey carpet cleaners, it only works if you have a big database and are constantly communicating with potential custies.

Wynne talking of nosey carpet cleaners I had one call a few weeks back, lol, I caught him red handed, I said "is that xxx xxx from xxx carpet cleaning?" he admitted it was him.

The numpty I did a course with him and so recognised his voice.
