They claim to have a lot of info available if you sign up, but turns out they don’t actually have the info they claimed. Unsubscribe email address listed in their signup process isn’t even a valid email address. One can only assume that even if you did manage to get thru to them, they wouldn’t bother doing the job of unsubscribing you any better than they did at putting together a list of contact info.
UPDATE: As you can see below, the founder of Lead411 has commented with a certain level of explanation that certianly mollifies my inability-to-unsubscribe-related angst. I don’t remember the exact info I used to sign-up, to validate his comment about temporary restrictions on “fishy” accounts. Given that my corporate charter lapsed years ago, I could buy that as being marked “fishy”.
UPDATE2: I had further off-line discussion with Tom, and feel that his explanation for my trial-signup’s limitations was reasonable. More impressively, he immediately added a proper “abuse@” address to their mail system based on my suggestion.

Hello:
My name is Tom Blue and I am the founder of Lead411. I am very sorry for the trouble you had with our site. I would like to help and solve the problems that you mention.
1. What information was promised that we have not given in the trial? Sometimes we don’t provide email address access to trial members if something looks fishy with their account. The reason why we do that is because we are very careful of who gets access to our database.
2. I didn’t realize that we had any subscribe at lead411.com email addresses listed on our site. Is that the email you used? If so we have corrected that problem so that those emails will be forwarded to the correct person. I apologize for this. We had moved over our email server to @lead411.net and didn’t realize that the unsubscribe @ lead411.com email wasn’t working and/or was still displayed on our site.
Again, sorry for the trouble and feel free to contact me at tblue at – lead411.net.
Thanks, Tom
