If we receive an undeliverable error the lead is rejected and not counted as good.<\/li>\r\n<li><strong>Phone<\/strong>: The phone # is checked for syntax, scrubbed against a \u201cbad-phone-number\u201d database which we maintain and randomly tele-verified to detect bad sources of leads.<\/li>\r\n<li><strong>Postal Address<\/strong>: The postal address is verified against known government-provided lookup services.<\/li>\r\n<li><strong>IP Address<\/strong>: Verifying the geographic location claimed by the lead matches their actual IP-based location. Simultaneously, we automatically flagging suspicious IP addresses that may indicate bot activity or lead farms and route them dynamically to the NetLine quarantine for daily human review.<\/li>\r\n<li><strong>Title\/Company<\/strong>: The user\u2019s title and company are randomly verified against LinkedIn.<\/li>\r\n<li><strong>Company Info<\/strong>: Address, Industry, Company Size: These fields are verified and corrected by matching against a Company Database which we maintain.<\/li>\r\n<li>In addition, we run all leads through predictive fraud detection algorithms, which filter out junk and fraudulent leads.<\/li>\r\n<\/ul>\r\n<p>We can only deliver a lead to our client if ALL fields are complete, the values specifically meet the needs of our customers, and have passed through our own QA\/QC processes.
