GBDatalot is a scam Datalot is a scam. The last 2 weeks there were no live xfers. When there were live transfers, one lady told me she was responding to a tv ad for $13 a month life insurance for $50k of coverage for seniors. This is the kind of fraudulent advertising that all of these lead companies use to generate low quality leads that they charge between $60-$250 for. The next call I got was a guy who said he had a heart attack. If you have a heart attack, you can't get life insurance. The next call I got was a guy with dementia. If you have dementia, you can't get life insurance. Most places out there refund all of these calls. Datalot did not refund even one of them. That is when I told them to close my account and refund my money. That was last week and I still have yet to hear anything back or receive the money left in my account. My account manager was named Emily and she was awful. I never heard from her unless I emailed her. She would not go over my numbers for the month. Gave no suggestions of how to maximize my results. I already see this company's ratings are low, but I just wanted to make sure nobody invests with them.

GBI usually don't write reviews because I… I usually don't write reviews because I don't have time. I have to speak my mind about Datalot. They prey on lower socio-economic people. Every lead I have received has been on SSI income or no job at all. There bidding system is very suspect based on the other agencies I have spoken with. I have been using leads for years and this is by far the most suspect service in my opinion.

GBQuality of Live Transfers Has Gone Downhill Quality of Live Transfers has gone downhill and, yet, cost per lead has gone up. I was warned about this happening with Datalot by other former users. For the first 60 days you have an on boarding account manager, which worked out well. Bogus live transfers (immediately hung up, mentally incompetent, etc.) were immediately refunded by them. Now that we have been using them for 60+ days we get transferred to a new account manager and most replies are about how they cannot help with a refund or that they are beyond the scope of what is refundable because the lead "passed" the questioning with a customer support rep. How ironic that Datalot doesn't seem to mind billing for ANY live transfer with a pulse, but the moment we ask for a refund on a bad lead it outside the terms of service. If Datalot wants to keep their clients then it might be prudent to weigh what value they bring to their business revenues. An occasional refund for a completely bogus lead shouldn't be such a hassle. Rather, it should be considered essential for quality customer service.

GBUnfortunately I could not rate this… Unfortunately I could not rate this without a star! Datalot sucks! I'm an insurance producer and was referred to this company for what I believe now was so that they could get an extra $100 for the referral. We paid $1000. What a rip off! Take your money someplace else. I'm in Northern California and all calls were coming from Southern California. They said they were going to fix several times and then I ended up getting no calls at all. The filtering is a joke! I was told if i paid top dollar for quotes $25 to $50 a lead I would get the best leads but what i get is a person who really did not want a quote to begin with or they have DUI, SR22, accidents and tickets, for life insurance, people that had medical issues, smokers and elderly people. Don't waste your time with this company they will tell you one thing in the beginning and what you end up with is totally different.

GBTerrible Terrible, terrible leads. I wasted over 3k on leads through data lot. Most of the calls i received were people who were called from Datalot and were frustrated and asked me if I know how to 'get these guys to stop calling me'. They didn't even know the call was about health insurance. with my group of agents, using alternative live lead companies we produced over 3 million last year and with data lot 0 dollars-not ONE sale was qualified or credited from Datalot after spending over 3k. Do not waste your money here. There are other companies who offer people who are qualified and offer you to return calls or leads if they are not qualified (Datalot claims they do, but they must be severely sick to be accepted)
