"Most of the leads provided to me by home advisor were fake and the other half were total bullsh!t. They wont refund you for anything, so here so am stuck with a $1,500 bill for NOTHING. Don't do it, its terrible!!"
"Recieved a notification of a lead to remove a large oak tree at 4pm. Noticed the lead had come through. Called the customer at 4:32pm to set up a time to bid on the job. Customer told me she had already awarded the project to another contractor last week. When asked she told me she had put in the request for bids over a week ago. Now I am asking myself why I'm sent a new lead today and got charged $40 on a job I can't even bid on. I tried to dispute the charge for a credit and it was denied. Worst system for the contractor ever invented. I hate to think about how much of my hard earned money gets wasted on these scammers every month. If anybody knows of an alternative please say something! The rating I want to give them is negative 5 stars!"
"O my God , I can’t even express my frustration with these ****’ scammers ! I’m down 900 $ in a month with not even opening any of their **** leads! When i told them I don’t want leads now they said to just turn them off and then surprise they turn them back on Automatically without my permission! They basically have their claws in your bank account! Worst than Jamaican scammers ! **** them to the moon and back"
"If I could give them a zero I would!! So not worth the money and they cheat and lie!! DO NOT USE THEM FOR YOUR BUSINESS!! Run as far and as fast as you can!!"
"Horrible. They are a scam. All the leads that I got we're not serious at all. They overcharge for these leads and only let you turn off your leads for two weeks at a time. As soon as you forget to pause them 5 trash leads come flooding in. Usually costing about $300. Don't use them they are horrible"
"After months of being cold called for a service I don’t need or want, and asking to be removed from their list, I got 3 back to back calls today. This is harassment! Today I am filing a police report. The representatives are cussing at me, not listening, and calling back every time after I hang up. I called headquarters and was hung up on. Today I will send a certified complaint and leave bad reviews on any website I can find today. Your company has wasted enough of my time. I will act like it’s my job today to ensure as many people as possible read my bad reviews. "
"never seen or worked with a company that was clearly creating more issues and problems then fixing.
as a business owner they over charge you and send you customer leads that do not want or know there info is being sent to people to contact them. "
"What they don't tell you is if you go shopping or exploring on their site and you provide your contact information they send it out to someone paying them to send leads for jobs out. The problem is those working for the company get charge even if your just looking and not serious about your repair or project. It is the biggest scam ever and this company needs to be shut down. I know this personally because I have worked for two different companies that use them for leads an have had the experience of dealing with these bogus leads and trying to get credit on them. 1 out of 10 leads are actual jobs people want done. Most of the time the lead is sent out with incorrect contact information and even though we can't get a hold of the "client" they refuse to credit us for the leads. All they do is drain the checking account of those signed up to receive leads from them. Please post on social media that this company is evil and taking advantage of individuals who are out there trying to earn an honest living. OH and Angie's list is one and the same with Home Advisor so if you request your information on both sites they are making double money off of your requests. DO NOT participate in this !! "
"You recommended Island Liners in Bohemia Long Island N.Y..They were the worst of the worst. When they tell you they were coming ,they will never show up.They told us they will be there Wed.never showed up ,then it was going to be Thurs.never showed up. Then Fri.,yes you know what happened ,they never showed up.Then when they do come you have to check behind them to make sure it was done right.Ladder was wobbly ,filter was put back in correctly .Couplings on PVC piping lose and liking.This company in my eyes is a complete zero. I recommend to Home Advisor to remove them from their site"
"I spent thousands on worthless **** leads.
Never received a job. "
"After telling them I do not need their service and asking them to stop calling for 2+ years,probably over 80 calls, they still keep calling.I have blocked every number they call from to no avail.I am going to report them to the FCC for all the good that will probably do....If I was a homeowner needing a contractor I would not use anybody they recommend.They charge contractors for leads and you will get somebody who is so desperate for work they are forced to use this **** company.Never deal with desperate people,especially desperate contractors."
"ATTENTION!!! THIS COMPANY IS A SCAM!!! THEY WILL TELL YOU ON THE PHONE THAT YOU ONLY PAY ONCE IN THE BEGINNING AND THEN YOU PAY FOR EVERY ACCEPTED LEAD. THIS ISN’T TRUE. IN 3 MONTHS I WAS CHARGED JUST UNDER $1,700 WITHOUT MY AUTHORIZATION. WHEN I CALLED THEM AND ASKED FOR MY MONEY TO BE REFUNDED THEY SAID THEY DON’T DO REFUNDS. WHEN I TOLD THEM I DIDN’T AGREE TO SUCH AN ARRANGEMENT THEY SAID I AGREED VERBALLY ON A RECORDED LINE BUT THEY HAVE NO WAY OF SENDING THAT TO ME WITHOUT A SUBPOENA. THEY SENT ME A SCREEN SHOT OF A RECEIPT THAT WAS CREATED BY THEM AND NEVER AGREED TO BY ME (VERBALLY OR OTHERWISE). THIS IS THE WORST COMPANY FOR LEADS AND THEIR CUSTOMER SERVICE IS NOT CUSTOMER ORIENTED WHATSOEVER. "
"Home advisor tells you if you do not contact somebody within two days they will refund your money except when you go to get your refund they don’t refund it and claim that’s not part of their service they don’t guarantee jobs so they charge you regardless But quite often are not producing leads and if you try to fight them and they send your account to collections and ruin your credit stay clear of this company"
"I was looking for someone to run a gas line. A contractor called within minutes and said it would cost $85.00 for them to give an estimate. Absurd "
"These people are total crooks that take advantage of small businesses by making them pay a ton of money for garbage leads. Just remember each of these businesses is tied to a family that needs food on the table! Feel free to go with Homeadvisor if you but, they are animals!"
