Warning: That 'guaranteed lead' service I tried cost me $500 with zero results
Signed up for a B2B lead gen service last month that promised 50 qualified contacts for $500. They sent me a list of names and emails, but half were wrong numbers or outdated addresses. I called one guy and he told me "stop calling, I've been dead for 2 years." Has anyone else had luck with these flat-fee lead services or are they all scams?

500 bucks for 50 leads seems like a red flag right off the bat. I don't really think it's that serious to call it a "guaranteed lead service" when most of those places are just scraping old data from LinkedIn or some public database from 2019. That guy telling you he was dead for 2 years is a funny nightmare though. I'd say you're better off spending that money on a solid CRM trial and doing the outreach yourself, because these flat-fee outfits almost never vet their lists.
