Bark Questions & Answers

The 1 star reviews are real. All the other 5 stars are not. This website preys on desperate businesses that require work and signs them up with a cost. First, they searched deep on the internet as my business has NEVER heard of them before their Spam-my email. They send an email stating that I have a lead on their website that I NEVER signed up on. Then ask for money to see who this lead is. To keep their site running, they say to people who are looking for particular businesses that they have them when they don't.

£1.20 per credit for a starter pack, then £1.50 after that and unqualified leads with next to no information cost between 10 and 18 credits. 10 leads will cost over £200 and doubtful will generate any work

It is also my opinion that many of the leads are bogus. Phone numbers did not reach anyone, or had messages that seemed designed to just dissuade you. Folks you reach are not looking for what you have to offer. The site is inferior, confusing. They suggest normal pricing and yet their clients want to pay ridiculously low sums. They promise guidance dealing with their special (nonexistent) clientele that they do not deliver. They do not follow through on their promises, while repeatedly sending you confusing emails that you are not using them, even when you are. They offer a get hired guarantee, and falsely claim you have been hired when you have not been hired. In my opinion Bark is a total scam, at least in my field: photography. I wonder if even the many positive reviews from other businesses are not also scams, false reviews. No one in my area has ever heard of them. I am disappointed I was dumb enough to fall for their very appealing scam, after they pursued me through my website FOR MONTHS. BUSINESS OWNERS BEWARE. They will solicit you for months and offer you everything, but do not come through once they have your money. I will now be spending all the time I wasted responding to leads and navigating their weak promo page doing something much more fruitful: reporting them to everyone. SCAM

Does not vet the businesses. We have never had any contact with Bark and they are suggesting us to potential clients - for a service we do NOT provide... We do not want to be associated with Bark in any way

Dont do it stay far away from them. They will take your money and provide false leads that are not contactable and if you do get to contact one its a false lead

Fake leads. They sent an email to me that all the 33 leads they sold to me had closed their account on the 3rd July 2021, the same day. Wow||| no refunds.
