IAG Fraud Alert

Will stay away from IAG regardless of whether this shit is for real or not. That's the unfortunate truth about starting a MOB thread on Wickedfire.

Good luck to all bros involved.
 


Been warned about these guys as well. There's talks there's another company called Leadstar Network they're behind as well. Just what I've heard from reliable sources.

^^ just this...that's all
 
Steer well clear of these guys. Proof is of course hard to come by, thats what AG's are for, but fraud is a daily MO for these guys. Is filling random forms from the white pages qualify? Of course they will deny, but it has happened. They buy random data, any data whatsoever, and plug it into forms. Thats why they never show true IP addresses using a bunch of smoke and mirrors. My suspicion is that the data is simply plugged into an algorithm program that rotates school names and selected degrees. In this manner "anyone" with any semblance of EDU interest might say "yes, I filled out a form" even if a year ago and of course the school and degree are wrong. IAG will fight tooth and nail for that lead to be paid. And run you to court when you claim otherwise, even if its an 85 yr old women on her deathbed or 7 yr old boy.
And yes, they have multiple companies but they don't "compete" against each other except for the rep that doesn't get the biz getting blasted slightly more than the rep who did get it. IOW, screw all clients at all times and like it.
This is a seedy biz as we all know, but these guys are the lowest of bottom-feeders.
 
No, you give them too much credit Edusearch. I got a guy on the inside, they pay people to enter in the lead information, $1 per lead. Their IT dept doesnt even know what an algorithm is.
Cheap $2 coreg lead + $1 to enter the data = lots of profit when the avg edu lead goes for over $20.

Glad to see this thread still going.
 
Hello Friends,

I teach you today how IAG fraud all good affiliate network.

IAG is ran by ratard named Michael E. Weisnoff. He is the most successful frauder in all of AM.

What Michael E. Weinsoff does is he first contact many EDU schools such as University Of Phoenix, and Walden University. He is clever and tell them he does lead generation, and sets up a campaign for them. They pay him X per lead, and Weinsoff brokers the campaign to an affiliate network such as Copeac, A4d, azoogle, etc.

After he brokers, the network sends him many hundreds of leads and he shaves and reverses almost everything and fucks them over. He does not pay them a penny, and has his partner lawyer write special contracts where he does not have to "legally" pay.

When the network sends him many leads, he uses a form to capture the data before he sends the lead to the college. He saves this data and then begins the step 2 to frauding.

He uses this data and hire many good indian folk to fill out other edu form. He work with big network, sign up and tell them he drive high quality "email traffic." But all his traffic is really form filling use from indian man. After indian fill out 600 form a day, he no pay and find new indian to use. Big fraud scheme, nobody work with!

Also when he sign up for network, he make them excite and make them sign form and guarantee credit app. Then if network no pay, Michael Weinsoff can "legally" sue and go after personal assets for whoever put their signature on credit app. Bevare!

Here is website I find on google:

Ripoff Report: Michael E. Weinsoff - Internet Advertising Group IAG Interactive is a frauding company. Michael E. Weinsoff is A SCAMMER AND FRAUDSTER Coral Springs, Internet
 
Hello...I just became aware of some fraud going on in the Education lead generation vertical so I felt the need to get the word out so no others get burned. IAG, Internet Advertising Group, is the same exact company as College Media Corp, Degree Search USA and Roadway to College. The owner created these new companies since he was losing so much business b/c of his fraudulent leads. By creating 3 companies he can screw over the same client 3 times over. You will be getting the same exact batch of bad leads by doing business with these companies.

I am a former employee and got tired of seeing companies get screwed over with bad leads and then sued by them for non-payment. Please avoid these companies at all cost and pass the word around to others.


All 3 companies reside at the same address, they have their own call center there and they are the same company. If they are different companies ask the sales reps to meet them at their office and watch how they scramble to come up with an answer.
 
This thread deserves a bump.

I think degreeseekusa.com is also them, as I was propositioned by an employee there the same way I was about 3 other of IAG's spawn.

Oh, and Michael Romm.... :321:
 
IAG is the worst company ever created. We caught them selling the same leads to 5 schools we represent. In addition the IP addreses all came back the same because their random IP generator, didnt work. When I spoke to some asshole named Michael he said he was going to sue us, Well we are going to sue them for fraud. If anyone has any more examples of IAG fraud, please let me know.

I though IAG meant Irritable Asshole Gases. You frauded me motherfucker!
 
I agree they are fraud

This guy is absolutely right. I have same companies that were just sign up on my network. The main thing they will send you before starting work is their credit application form.
They will start work once you agree with their terms and their terms are to pay even you won't get paid.

So be aware, I detect these fraud in start. Special thanks to my friends in market who help me and aware me of this fraud.
 
why fraudsters pick edu for fraud? Why not anything else?

Saw a lot of people complaining about how much fraud there is in the vertical.

What's so special about it?

Where else can you get $40 cpa without a credit card?
 
oh, yeah the "without a credit card" was missing from my thought process.

2 am.. sorry for the silly question.
 
Bumping this from many years ago as I was just reminiscing with an old coworker over IAG and their scam operation and remembered this thread. Curious if anyone is still around that remembers this, or knows what ever happened with them? I hope they got prosecuted for something, but in FL I would assume no.
