Disturbing Trend of Deceptive Leads, on Angi Leads Platform. An In Depth Examination of “Brayan Wood”
In our role, as a marketing firm handling accounts, through Angi Leads (a.k.a HomeAdvisor) platform we’ve noticed a troubling pattern that brings up significant doubts regarding the platforms reliability and validation procedures.
10 days ago is when things kicked off for us. We spotted something, in a Florida account with a batch of leads that raised our eyebrows. These three leads all went by the name “Brayan Wood”. Popped up within five minutes from totally different areas of coverage. Clearly something wasn’t right about it all we flagged them as fake. Promptly got in touch with Angi’s support team to report the situation and luckily received credit for the questionable leads. Initially brushing it off as either a lone scammer at work 0r someone trying to pull a fast, on us with the system.
The situation became more concerning yesterday when we noticed a pattern, in a Michigan based account well. Three leads were received from “Brayan Wood,” each from service areas in succession. The resemblances, between the two situations were too noticeable to overlook indicating that this was not a coincidence but a planned effort to deceive Angi users.
Seeing the perspective.
Upon inspection three counterfeit leads may not appear significant; however when you take into account that each lead carries a price tag of $40 the expenses begin to accumulate quickly. In this scenario three fake leads translate to a loss of $120. If this fraudulent activity is happening across accounts. Even hundreds or thousands. The financial consequences become quite significant.
It is alarming to see activities happening on Angi Leads despite its resources and prominent position, in the lead generation sector.
Who could be responsible, for this?
The big question here is who is pulling the strings behind all of this? It’s not crystal clear, at the moment. One thing we can say for sure is that this isn’t just a problem popping up out of nowhere. Seeing this same pattern play out in two situations across different states makes it seem like theres a bigger plan, at work here. Like someone or some group is purposefully taking advantage of the system.
The name “Brayan Wood” may not hold significance independently; however if various companies are encountering this name in leads consistently it could help us pinpoint the source of this scam more accurately.
Why is this important, in the scheme of things?
For individuals who depend on lead generation platforms such, as Angi’s Leads for their businesses growth and sustainability the importance of receiving genuine and high quality leads cannot be overstated. Wasting money and valuable time pursuing leads is detrimental to a company’s bottom line and productivity. When fraudulent activities permeate Angi’s platform it not only erodes user trust but also raises concerns, about the integrity of their validation procedures.
