I'm looking for a new health plan, thought this would give me some quotes or plans to review - all it did was take data, send it to God knows whom so in the last 10 minutes I've gotten literally 15 calls and another 10 texts, and I haven't looked at my email box yet -- plus the only data the website gave after all that was links to other people's sites that list plans. Completely useless, worse than useless as provides nothing in exchange for getting spammed out of existence. No box asking permission to send your data elsewhere. Privacy violation, probably illegal since it's personal and medical data. Will report to authorities.

This online directory solicited us by phone at work to have a "free" listing on their website for healthcare practitioners. The person who called was difficult to understand due to her accent, and she was not upfront about how long the process of registering/updating our information would be. She already had our business name, address, phone number and fax number. She was insistent that I had to provide my last name instead of using just my first name as a contact, but finally she agreed to just use my first name. After I spoke with her for a while, she connected me to an automated system which took me through the exact same questions she asked, followed by annoying beeps. During the automated system part of the call, I could not proceed without giving my last name. At this point, I had already committed about 10 minutes to the phone call. She came on the line and then told me I had to provide my last name. I gave a last name. Then the system wanted my birthdate. I said that I was busy and asked how much longer it would take. She said, "it will just be another minute." I stayed on the line answering questions another 3-5 minutes, but then there was a third phase of questions to answer. At that point I told her I was done and not to call me again. I told her to take our business out of their database. I had to hang up on her because she kept pressuring me to answer the questions. I then looked up their website. The website has no "contact us" link, no information about who they are or "about us" information. At the bottom of the page are "Terms and Conditions" and "Privacy Policy." When I clicked on them, I was not taken to another link. I wish I could have the 30 minutes back I have spent on this website. I seriously doubt they have free services and I am very suspicious about their wanting my full name and my birthdate.
