Is Insureme.com a Scam?
Many people believe that insureme.com is a fraudulent organization, which offers no real value to its customers.
Many claim that they use fraudulent claims to obtain your personal information then instead of supplying you with the information that they offered on their website, they instead sell your contact information to a plethora of 3rd parties who then proceed to bombard you with Insurance offers – many that have nothing to do with the information that you requested.
Not only do they sell the information they lied to obtain once, they resell it every 6 months, telling the 3rd party companies that you are looking for insurance again when you probably are not.
So, not only do they lie to you – they also lie to the companies that purchase your contact information.
Many online complaint forums claim that If you fill in the Insureme.com online form (which s no easy task) at the end of the process you are not supplied with a quote as promised – instead you are provided with a list of no name providers and phone numbers which you could have easily gotten yourself by doing a search in google.
Here is a Typical Complaint about the Insureme Scam
Found 4 emails in my boss’s inbox this morning with regard to an auto Insurance Quote, with insureme.com claiming to have received an online quote request that they forwarded to several companies for response.
I called insureme.com & asked where they got my information, since neither my husband nor myself had requested a quote, and certainly would not have used my boss’ email address in doing so. She told me they got their leads from lots of sources, couldn’t or wouldn’t say where, but that the request came from “John Smith.” There’s no one here by that name, never has been. The quote submitted in a 2nd email by one of the ins. agents contained MY personal vehicle information, although indicating two wrong insured names. I am appalled that insureme.com has forwarded my personal vehicle information to agents without my consent, and want to know how they obtained it.
…or this one…
They should be arrsted and charged with fraud no reviewed or paid. Also don’t believe positive reviews, they have been paid for by insureme in scads, such as on factoidz.com that act like impatial reviewers but in reality are paid to post fake reviews and are almost as big of scammers as insureme.com

InsureMe’s Agent Connection
Anyone insurance agents ever used this “InsureMe” website??
Its suppost to be a tool agents can use to find qualified leads…does this work? Do you have any feedback on it? Thanks
If you really want online leads, I’d suggest considering starting your own site. Rather than spending, say, $700-$1000 on leads that may or may not even be entirely yours, why not get your own site going and spend a few bucks on yahoo sponsored search, making your keywords specific enough to your region that it won’t cost you an arm and a leg for the clicks? That way the folks might just be local enough that you can call them and (gasp) make an actual appointment and do proper business rather than just deliver phone quotes to distant people.
I know I won’t spend money on someone else’s leads.
Or here’s another idea: if you get a REALLY successful lead generating site, do what business you can and sell the leads you cannot get to yourself.
Remember, though, internet shoppers, by and large, are all about price. I’ll be surprised when I hear from one asking for anything but the quote.
