Reporting Contact
Overview
The Contact Reports feature allows you to report inaccurate, outdated, or unreachable contact information within Deep Enrich.
If a contact's email address or phone number is incorrect, no longer active, or cannot be reached, you can submit a report for review. Depending on the issue and the resolution option you select, Deep Enrich may provide updated contact information, issue a credit refund, or both.
When Should You Report a Contact?
You can submit a report if:
- The email address is invalid or incorrect.
- The phone number belongs to the wrong person.
- The email address is no longer active.
- The phone number is disconnected or out of service.
- The provided contact information cannot be reached.
If you encounter any of the above issues, we recommend submitting a report so our team can review and resolve it accordingly.
