I have exellent reputaion, references, 20years professianl experience, Bachelor's degree, clean criminal background - verified by thumbtack. I recieved 20 leads. To almost all of them I offered first lesson free. None responded. Of leads with the phone #s:
1 was answered "wrong #". 1 was "# not in service". The rest 4 had answering recording without a name of a person. None called back.
I checked some names through White pages and none came back as valid.
Sarinya Permthamsin for example does not come up in White pages at all. In any city in NV
Other's with more common names come up by tens, but none would be of age on his/her Thumbtack's lesson request. It's all BS and maybe if small protion of it works. I think Thumbtuck writes BC requests and sells them to us. there is no way to validate any of the quotes, it's all through TT sytem. One common thing about requests i got -they all state
That they want to learn music but not one requests more than one lesson a week.
Those who know music will agree - takes more than one lesson a week to get anywhere.
Shame on thumbtack exploiting people's needs and desires to work.
