Thumbtack

I have been with Thumbtack now for almost a year. I have encountered nothing but problems with them from the get-go between them committing fraudulent use against my card to allowing their consumers to people that use their sites to find cleaner such as myself the ability to get away with scamming the site and scamming us. Now I just found out that because of things that happened three months ago because of their mistake they no longer want to do business with me and have closed out my account with no apparent reason. Tell everybody that you know to stay away from Thumbtack. There are fraud. They are fake. They are phony. Do not go to Thumbtack. Tell everybody to stay away from them because all you're going to do is waste your time and your money and it's not worth it. I hope this company goes out of business with everything that they have done to me and others.

This company may be good for customers, but if you're using this company as a pro, as in you're offering a service, it's absolutely non sense. You will spend $90 to make $100. EVERY single time you receive a message from a potential client, your debit card is immediately charged, and the potential client can choose someone else, you're still out that $10-$20 PER message. Most clients send messages to several pros to know their options, so there a LOT of money being generated for Thumbtack at the pro's expense by the clients actions.

It seemed like a good deal that you pay for leads rather than traditional advertising where much of money used is ignored or glazed over. But it isn't a good deal at all. They find new ways to "find" you leads and to charge you. However you get so little business from it. The cost per lead starts to add up, especially when so few actually start to follow through. But even that doesn't mean new business or clients.

I specifically asked for resume writers who could meet in person. All who replied sent generic invites along with generic responses to what needed improving on my resume via remote connection. The 3 that I tried to get assistance did nothing but state their cost/rate and state that they only worked remotely. So, why do writers respond if they don't work in person? IDK. But it has wasted a little of my time, which is not what I signed up with Thumbtack for.

Anyone who uses Thumbtack to find people to do work around your house need to know the following: If you have an 1800 sqft. 3 Bedroom 3 Bath Home, but only need Laundry done... don't put 3 Bedrooms and 3 Baths in the options you select from! - This is how they charge the people on their site! - No one wants to pay $38 to do laundry when the amount they are paid may be less than that... Put the lowest amount possible and leave exactly how big the house is and what you need in the message area that you send them.

Thumbtack so far hasn’t been a good way of getting jobs for me, They been charging me for their leads - “exact match” they say and I haven’t even talk to a real people. Even if you try to give an estimate the information they give you is very poor, How can they let somebody try to get a pro with that info. Of course I would like to get a refund..

"THIS SERVICE SUCKS". They will suck your bank acount.. I wouldn’t n't recommend it to anybody.. I been paying for Leads. It makes me think that it is a community doing the scam.. How could you give and estimate if they give you very poor information..

I started using Thumbtack as a Pro back in this summer and was a bit wary of paying for leads to potential customers before even getting any work. I paid for a few leads and then got hired and seemed like it was indeed a good deal. I even convinced friends and colleagues that it was a better deal than paying to advertise where you're not even necessarily reaching people. I'm for sure backtracking now because after only a few successful paid jobs (none since July! 5 months!) I've been paying for "leads" that go nowhere.

Scammers!!!! Stay a way from them!!! I use their service as a contractor, I have nothing to say but... run away from them as far as possible. Zero stars, you will spend more making zero...run just run.

I signed up to Thumbtack to check it out and realized they didn’t have enough information on jobs they had. I looked a total of probably 10 times and still not enough info on jobs so I stopped looking at the app and for some reason I looked at credit card statement and they helped themselves out to my credit card. I didn’t even talk to a single customer and that’s good enough for them. If you have app on phone that’s good enough to charge your card.
