What kind of disgusting company texts and robocalls 6 times in 4 minutes? EverQuote. At least they prompted me to install some serious anti-spam and anti-robocall apps. They think they get business out of this approach? WTH. Never ever.
This company steals your identity and then sells it as "leads" to other companies. I never applied, contacted, completed an application for Everquote. One of the insurance companies kindly provided me with the information Everquote stole from me.
Once everquote steals your personal information and sells it, you are flooded with emails and telephone calls. Report them to your Attorney General and BBB. They need to be stopped
Went back & forth with Kyle Van Cleef (if this is really his name) and told him we wanted only real time leads. He said. No problem. He took $1,000 from my Credit card (only authorized $500.00) and in 10 minutes we got 15 RECYCLED leads. Have been quoting leads for years & Everquote has won the contest for being lying crooks.
I filled out their online questionnaire this morn to compare quotes. Within a half hour I had a text and missed call from them. I went back to sleep bc i work overnights. I have 3 HR time frame to get some sleep and They proceeded to call me 7 times in less than an hour! I wont use them simply for this reason. I blocked the number and received an additional 3 calls from everquote but obviously were different numbers since the call was not blocked. Ridiculous. If someone doesnt answer you the first or second time. DO NOT CALL 10 MORE TIMES. Id never recommend this place to anyone just because of this. That ruined it for me.
I am pretty upset about this company.
I was looking for car insurance quotes online for temporary car insurance. I filled out their form with my personal details. They then linked me to three to four other websites which then asked me for more of my personal details. I didn't get a quote appearing on a webpage that i wanted.
Instead, within 1 day, i had 10-15 texts, 5-10 spam calls and 10-15 emails asking me to text them back for quotes. Now some of them did offer insurance quotes along with their texts. But they came from MANY MANY insurance companies, so that if i told them i wanted to stop, another insurance company would just bother me. I want this to stop. And they do not make this stopping process easy.
I had to google this data privacy form in order to stop the calls.
https://www.everquote.com/data-privacy-form/
I had to fill out this form several times with the same information in order to get through. In the meantime, I had to endure another day or so of spam calls, texts and emails from insurance agents. Which I don't want.
I also had to put my phone number on the do not call registry
https://www.donotcall.gov/
Again, it takes awhile to go into effect.
I don't know if this way of doing business it's legal. But even if this is, it doesn't seem very ethical or customer friendly to me. Left a bad first impression. I don't want to see them again. Hope they change their ways.
Just got a call from an Indian call center. The agent asked a lot of personal info. I never asked for a quote or contacted them. They're just cold calling. I told him I didn't want to give my name then the guy told me my first and last name. Creepy!
Now the phone keeps ringing. They sold my number as a lead to these insurance agents.
3 calls in 10 minutes!
I have never contacted this company or any other insurance company in several years, yet for some reason today, October 12,2021, I began receiving tons of calls and text messages about insurance quotes. Clearly spam or a very bad database.
I should have checked the site reviews or business information.it's designed to send your information out its not a provider.
U have to enter the information so they can bother you by phone non stop. It's terrible and I don't see how they will expect business this way.
Everquote.com
Don't enter your information. I should have realized by the name.
You respond to all their question and then they give you a link to insurance companies to "review" the quote. You click on one of them. Then you start all over again by providing the same information. Waste of time.
They sell & give your info to insurance companies. On 9/4 around 10am, I got bombarded 3 emails from State Farm, Geico with a partner MediaAlpha, & US Auto Insurance. An agent named Natalie from Please Get Insured call & text me 4 times about car insurance quotes. I did some research US Auto Insurance & Please Get Insured are Everquote According to Everquote site, they claimed we provided our own info but I NEVER provided info about me! How they got my info?! It scary. The next day I did email them & opt out on their site. I will see if that will do anything
They make you fill out all the forms, only to link you to the other providers where you just have to repeat all the steps again and again. COMPLETELY POINTLESS WEBSITE
They just collect all your personal information and do nothing else. NO so-called instant quotes are provided. They just show you links to websites of insurance companies where you might as well have gone yourself. What a waste of time, and on top completely unethical.
They'll take your info and spread it to several others that'll just bug the crap out of you, well before they even give you an idea of how much you'll save on insurance. Plus they'll somehow spread your number to malicious robocall sources that'll try to scam you. In the end they gave me quotes that were on par with my current insurance, of course without the perks of being a 5+ year customer.
These people have no ethics. They got my number from a list somewhere and called me 10 times during the day and multiple messages despite me asking them to stop. A legitimate company would not act like this. Please don't give your business to a company like this who is torturing people
This company emails you non-stop (I never signed up) and doesn't allow you to unsubscribe. They email from different email addresses so you can't block them. My emails are coming from Provide Insurance. This practice is disgusting and the company should be shut down. Useless, annoying, no respect for privacy.
I entered info on this site because my current insurance bundling is complicated and I just wanted to know whether the auto part of it was in excess of what other companies might offer independently. This company promises online quotes, but that just doesn't happen. After submitting tons of info online I got inundated with responses about all kinds of supposed "quotes" then had to fill out more forms with much of the same info again. Even after that there were all sorts of links to "quotes" that really just connected me to phone numbers for agents of various insurance companies. I could have called all of these companies myself if I wanted to spend hours on the phone with insurance agents. Bottom line is that this is a scam. EverQuote does not provide online quotes, and they are not even connecting customers to companies that offer online quotes. They are wasting your time if you are a potential customer, and if you are a legitimate agency you are probably paying them money for nothing.
Highly deceptive operation. DOES NOT SIMPLIFY finding insurance. The idea that you just give your info once is a complete lie. The just sell your contact info and you will get unending calls from insurance carriers that not give you a quote until you provide all the painstaking details over and over again. They provide NOTHING that you wouldn't be better off doing yourself unless you just love being harassed endlessly by clueless sales calls from vendors who have no idea who you are. You get what you pay for - nothing.
I purchase $1,000 worth of leads from EverQuote. 81 leads, 27 wrong or disconnected numbers with the rest saying they didn't ask to be called or just never answered (after calling multiple/multiple/multiple/multiple times). Something is NOT right with this company.
This company used my Business Name in their google ads which linked to their site where they sell the leads to other agencies. For the consumer bad and for the unknowing agency that signs up with them they may be selling your own leads to you. Very dishonest at a minimum. My Business name is Highlighted with a link to their quote site in the picture.
I input my info. Before I even go to the end where it tells me what's supposedly best, I started getting phone calls and text messages from telemarketers trying to sell me insurance. The ones who contacted weren't even the ones it told me were 'best'. They wanted me to spend more time giving all my information over again. Then the final page of my 'quotes' was just links to car insurance sites where I'd have to input all my info all over again.
There are actual companies who actually give you rough estimates based on your inputs and don't just send out all your contact info to telemarketers. For starters, Jerry - Personal Insurance Shopper (has a phone app), and Gabi (website based).
Answer: I don't know for sure, but they certainly shared my info with malicious robocalling scammers that bugged the ever living crap out of me. They do share quotes but it wasn't helpful to my use case.
