Launch Your Leads Scam

Launch Your Leads Scam

Member since 2023 · 18 posts · 9 votes

I’m considering hiring an attorney for a class action suit against the scammers from Launch Your Leads that take thousands of dollars and then you never hear from them. Their previous company Amplify My Business has the same horrible reviews and scam so they closed down and started the new scam called Launch Your Leads managed by Matt and Tom Mclleland. If anyone else here has been duped by these scammers, please reply.

He is currently providing direct attention to our issue of finding and closing deals. Tom has been very responsive to our concerns. We are starting from scratch on this business relationship and hopefully this will go as promised. I will keep you posted on any future developments.”

Cool, it’s great that you gave clarity.

    I consider myself a savvy investor, wrote a ebook on foreclosures, sat down at lunch and looked Tom in the eyes, been to his home, analyzed the business, reviewed the technology and CRM, chatted with their closers and am unfortunately in the same boat as all of you. No return. Big promises, zero delivery and lots of cancelled meetings. I would love to have a conference call with all of those involved in the LYL scam. They both had good intentions and I have personally seen the inner workings of the business in attempting the "Done for you" model. Unfortunately, they can't deliver and their claim of $100k to $200k is worthless. It's almost like a little ponzi scheme. I think they pay the VA a little and pocket the rest waiting for the house of cards to fall. And Matt is in another country so pretty untouchable. I do have the Toms address I'm happy to share with you. If you are speaking to Tom about the LYL opportunity, run the other way. It is a failed business!

    Wow! You actually met the guy in person and saw his office/operations? That’s on a whole other level of scamming people. I’m speechless.

    Can you resend the discord link? 

     I re-sent it a few minutes ago.

     Thats an important question to ask nowadays, we were scammed by a marketing/SEO company who is now overseas and has a PO box in US only so basically untouchable. (note not this one mentioned above) 

    I will not do business with anyone who is not physically in the USA for vendor services or this type of program.

    I spoke with them about their VIP program out of curiosity. They claim they do all of the marketing, connect with the leads, negotiate the deal, and close it. After closing they split profits 50/50 with you. The cost of the program is 35K upfront and then approximately $3500/mo for all marketing. They guarantee 200K in revenue per year. I ultimately did not do it but I'd be interested to hear if anyone tried that program or knows of anyone who did. 


    ANd I have a bridge to sell you..  geesh people have to catch a clue this is simply not realistic , or real or anywhere close to that.. if they did all that why would they split profits.. .they would just do it all themselves and not need to sell a service.. I can see how people who want an easy way to rich's would fall for this though  Golly.

    I hope you feel better for shaming others who thought they were investing in a partnership.

    I've also been a partner for a year and have seen no results. Tom is constantly in and out of the hospital and barely ever responds. They have no account managers other than him. Seems like a very poorly run business. I saw several people have talked about legal action against LYL, has anyone done that and had luck. I'd really appreciate some guidance and I'm thinking that's my next step as well. Thanks!

    I joined September 10th, 2025 and I am $60K in with all the upfront and advertising money I have given them. The $400,000 "guarantee" obvously bull$hit after 8 months, many promises and apology calls - they have gone silent. They have no intention of making anyone whole, not to mention making good on the agreements. They have said they chose the wrong closers, they then took all the leads I paid for and said they were no good because they put my name in the sales persons field and so they died on the vine. Now they say there is kidney failure. I am very close to bankruptcy because of this. I am so stupid. They invoke God and they send you the "Go Giver" book to make it sound like they are ethical. We need to ban together and get some papers on them before they close up shop, Tom and Matt and Kristoine - and just form a new company under a new name.

    This appears to be deliberate fraud.

      Sorry to hear this.  One of the other investors previously shared that he went and visited their shop, looked him in the eye and sold him the same promise and still got duped.  That said, we could find out the address and pay a group visit. I’d gladly spend the money for a flight ticket along with pooling together to take legal action.

    I would love to know the physical home address as well. We do need to start thinking about taking action. The Utah Consumer Protection folks said they would look into it - but we need a few of us to report. Alos we need to find the SSN for tom and Matt and Kristine and put a UUC - 1 lean on those numbers. They are making lots of money - but they are just not paying anyone.

    I thought I had researched.  Tom’s “mom” died and he had to attend the funeral… tons of promises but missed appointments.  The guarantee is what made us invest in the partnership. He has gone completely silent and does not respond to our slack channel or text messages. I would love to be a part of some class action lawsuit as well.  Frustrating!!

    I tried to work with a law firm to pursue a lawsuit. It appears a lawsuit might be a fruitless endeavor. After consulting with a law firm, it turns out that Tom has several outstanding judgments already against him (likely from previous suits). So even if one were to sue him or the company and get a favorable judgement, it’s unlikely they would be able to collect anything. That would mean another tens of thousands expended to likely not get anything in return. I’d be curious if anyone else has talked with a law firm, if anyone is actually pursuing litigation, or if anyone has filed a criminal complaint. In any event, I’ve also filed a criminal complaint with the FBI and I encourage everyone else to do the same. The feds won’t do anything based on just my one report. I have also filed with the FTC, and exploring options with the attorney general and other law enforcement agencies.
