Good day all,

It’s now up-north in Canada, I got a lady today (my apologies, I forgot her name) that had the same approach as mentioned on the above but with a 99$ amount – she was calling from 406-532-3748.  I was wondering how a company from the states could provide me leads in Canada… anyway.  Spam?  Maybe, be carfeful.

I received the same type of email spam too! I NEVER DEAL WITH THESE PEOPLE! I have heard this BS so many times it's unreal! They may be able to fool newbies who are hungry but they can't fool the professionals! Where is her 800 number??? Why should I call her on my dime?? Fake! Phony!!

Hi Mary,
  My name is Lori Sasek, I am an Executive Account Manager for Real Estate Referrals based in Missoula, MT.  The reason for my email is that I have a client named  Dwayne who is looking to purchase a home in Mountain Home . I currently do not have an agent who is working with us in Baxter County . If you're interested in working with Dwayne , please give me a call at 406-532-3712 and I will be more than happy to answer any and all of your questions.  Thank you and I look forward to speaking with you soon.

Mary, can you please call me at your earliest convenience? I would like to discuss the details of this referral with you. I am looking forward to speaking with you.

Kind regards,

Lori Sasek

I got the same message and get the same type of referral offer from others. I have also received phone calls with the same offer.  For $99 they say they will give me a lead.  (They could just pull any name from a phone book and say it is a referral)  I told them I would gladly pay then a 25% referral fee from my commission on any CLOSED deal.  This would bring them much more money but they know they are phony referrals, plus they must also be a licensed Realtor.  They are preying on agents desperate for any type of lead.  Stay away!

Looking at my email history, they email often. I got 2 emails today!  I'd gladly pay a referral to any Real Estate agent who personally knows a buyer.
  However if a buyer is serious they are shopping online; finding a local agent. They aren't going to be exclusive and loyal to this company.
  I sure hope the consumer isn't being charged to be placed with an agent, that would be horrible.
George,

I recently had a request from a customer for information about property in Brownsville.  Since I'm located in Missoula, MT, I am looking for someone closer and better suited to help them out.  My team has spoken to them and they are serious about this request and looking to do something fairly soon.  I'd like to get this out to you right away, can you call me as soon as possible? You can contact me at 406-532-5577.
