Aaron Franklin is an independent State Farm agent State Farm Chattanooga, Tennessee.
His website boasts of his proximity to Volkswagen & Amazon and touts he has been proudly serving the Chattanooga area for over 18 years.
But on May 24, 2023 an employee of his office would send a very costly text message to one Gabriel Bou Nater.
According to State Farm, Franklin’s agency had engaged in a very common practice–it had purchased a lead from an online website operator connecting consumers with small businesses–like Franklin’s agency–that can provide cost effective services. The lead provider was allegedly Ads Logistix and the website where the Plaintiff purportedly provided his information was 1insurancerates.com.
