DON"T use Angi at all
December 28, 2023

From my experience with Angi Ads service, don't waste money on them, Pro or customers, completely NO

Tip for consumers:

This company like a scam to take money from you. All leads are either no response to contact or too low budget/quality for the work that no way to make money from it. And inaccurate service from what they promised to you when you signed up. They only care to charge you fees. Completely waste time and money. Don’t trust this company stay away!!

Angie's, a Racketeering Enterprise
October 1, 2023

I am an Angie's contractor, for "Angie Services." I can tell you that the entire business model, right down to binding arbitration, is a giant fraud ring. Not one thing, from the acceptance of customer jobs, to the payment of the contractor, is legit. For one, in no event, does Angi get on the phone with its pro's. I use "Pro's" loosely, because I've seen so many jobs before I arrived that another Angie's pro was there before, messed up tge customer job, plumbing, electrical and so on, but never told us, it's really bad. Angie's routinely puts out jobs for oro's to take from what's available in your service area. I'd say 90% are jobs, no one will taje. For example, $80 to build a shed, even pre-fab, it's a 2-3 person job, worth $600. Another example, putting together grills, hanging TV's (mounting) and putting together furniture, for less than $20. Angie, when paying pros, keeps 70% of what tge customer was charged, leaving the pro with nothing to work with or no incentive to take the job assignment at all. Moreover, the customers do not fully explain and we cannot contact the customer without blindly accepting the job. For example, customer says, "small leak under sink.". Pro arrives to find out that pipes in the wall, all the way back to main are spewing water and the customer merely turned off at the main. (Coomon)? Or "Wire new outlet" come to find nothing in box is marked as to circuit destination and the box is dangerous in that work has been incorrectly done before and some circuits are double to triple overloaded, with breakers tripping hourly, for months prior to calling. In one case, Angi took $300 from customer, tried to pay me $115 to trench a new line from main box to new outbuilding and connect service. The trench was 95ft long, the wire spool was 100ft and the trrncher, a rental was $419 for the day. It took 3 guys, with shovels & a trencher, plus the cost of all that material (conduit to bury, wire and miscellaneous parts) 8 hours x 3 guys labor, came to $1500.00. The $115 got the customer an estimate, no work was performed that day, she accepted, paid, we did the job a week later. However, Angie told customer, all that work would be completed in 3 hours and for $115. It's a combination of Angie scamming consumers, then scamming contractors, all the while, pocketing money. Hetting paid, as a pro, from Angie, is usually straight forward, but if a customer will not return calls or texts in the days leading to the job, or gives an incomplete address and incomplete description of the work to be performed, the pro gets hung out to dry. I've learned fast to show up, keeping in mind my time and fuel and if the customer hasn't paid enough, to give them reason why I'll need to come back, perform no work at all and unless customer agrees to pay the actual job costs, up front to me directly, I'll never return. The customer believes they're getting hundreds if not thousands of dollars of wirk, for $100-$200, which the customer is 50% of the blame. Overall, Angiea knows this. They always look for a reason not to pay the pro. I've seen it all and they know that no pro is going to pay a $500 arbitration company to collect a few hundred dollars. They know they're mis-representing the scope of the job, over charging customers and under paying the pro's. It is my opinion that it is a massive scam, bigger than Bernie Madoff, bigger than crypto currency scams, it's a huge criminal enterprise. I'd describe it as racketeering. The CEO and officers, need to be criminally charged and their assets seized, right down to the take-out, leftovers in their refrigerator.

Tip for consumers:

This is one of the largest criminal enterprises in U.S. history in my view (insider)
