I am a dj. First week Thumbtack charged me $70, second week in 30 minutes it charged me another $65 Clients contacting saying what is next and thumbtack charging me. And you never hear back from the client. This is my hardly earned money. Thumbtack is the only winner here. Vendors being taken advantage of. I am so pissed of that they been just taking my money out like that. Some one have to do something about this cause its a robbery!
There's many people that have already reported them, but hopefully this strengthens the case. I have probably wasted hundreds of dollars, or more, on skeptical leads. They allow people to submit for an estimate and either never hire anyone, never respond to anyone, hire outside of thumbtack, or simply just open your quotes and disappear without giving refunds. There's many cases where it appears there appears to be fabricated leads. Either that, or they're simply just scrubbing the net for information and having us bid on absolute garbage. Obviously there's something wrong if this many people have the same issues. There's even pages and sites dedicated to spreading the word about their shady behavior.
Have been a pro threw them for a couple years but all the sudden they started changing thing in profile with consent of owners---facebook upadates to some companies and take away other pro's facebook completely like ours. Didnt find out tell the customer told me they could see all my competitors link to facebook and show how many likes they have but could see our nor link to our facbook. Called 3 months ago and they stated it was a technical problem that would be fixed.
Well 3 months later they are still stating there is a problem with all business......untill i mentioned my homeownere showed me my competitors profile witch you could pull up facebook and showed how many likes and then showed me mine with nothing.......this has gone on for 3 months.......all our competitors shows up but you cant see our profile like there nor our 1500 facebook likes!!! I had to send them to several profiles in our area showing they all had these options but our dont....
Then i had my wife request carpet cleaning and house keepers in our area(thats what we do) well sure enough they dont want to show our likes due to closet competor has 87likes and shows on there profile.
