Bark

The credits purchase scheme is terrible. You buy credits to find jobs. And when you try to contact the jobs, they were already done, and you keep losing your credits. I requested a refund and they denied. Terrible business. They're the only ones profiting. And the jobs are very low paying tasks. I'm starting a charge back.

I have contacted to Bark.com once and I buy the credits from them for $132.00 and I got 100 credits, I use all the credits but non of the customer gave me the job to do because they not feel secure because of bark.com, then Bark.com return my credit and this time i contacted 5 people only 1 responded me back but in the end did not provide me the job to do, I called bark.com and they said we only return the credits one time whether you contacted by the clients or not and that means I wasted my time and money on Bark.com.

These are scammers, they get your money and does not provide you the right client, they only say they will do but they do not, I have really bad experience with them, Never going to trust them again.

I hired Paul, from Adessia Painting, to fix and paint my living room and master bedroom, all in short notice, and the result was excellent.
He is very experienced and likeable. The job was done on time and on budget.
It was a good experience and I hope to bring him back again.

I have communicated with Bark.com about unlicensed Private Investigators advertising on their site. And they responded it is not their job to do so. Private Investigators get private information from their clients, like date of births, address, name, ss numbers etc. an unlicensed Investigator could be a scammer trying to get your info. Bark.com is not responsible if this happens, but they allow ANYONE to advertise they are a Private Investigator. See video below about unlicensed IPrivate nvedtigators.

Business owners stay away from Bark.com- it is an absolute rip off and scam. Leads are false/fictitious and uncontactable everytime and they refuse to refund. Don't believe them they are stealing your money by not providing any real service or lead. The customer service is beyond horrible. After I explained to Sam at Bark, that I was called crude names by a lead who had NO interest in me contacting them rather than solve the probelm he deleted my account won't refund my money for the credits I had just purchased. AND I was HIGHLY rated on their site with reviews.

Great to be able to give a brief outline of specific work required. Although both have visited the site, at present only the painter has given me a quote for the work. The electrician has to perform more thorough investigation prior to giving a quote. The response was very speedy in both cases, and both visited the property within a week ( which with Covid 19) was very good. Fortunately the work required is outdoors, and therefore did not pose any risk.

Mike from M&M Gas arrived on time to perform a landlord's annual gas check. He was knowledgeable and
Courteous. We also discussed the future of heating systems with the introduction of new types of heating.

I contacted bark.com recently, regarding the maintenance of my house roof gutters. Steve Rivest was interested in this job.He inspected the future work side the same day, and performed the actual work day after. He provided several pictures, before the work was done and after the job was finished. I paid him for the job the agreed price. Steve was very
Professional and explained all particulars of the job performed on site. I recommend Steve to everyone without any doubt. A few days latter Steve visited my sister in low house. She needed second opinion regarding her gutters condition. His opinion was honest, very professional, and free. Steve saved the home owner $1700, the previous company was going to charge for not needed work. I was lucky to meet Steve, and I hope there is more like him. I recommend Steve Rivest to all disappointed people, call him now.

I had an Elite pro account to see offer a service. After a couple of month I realise that Elite pro was not what I needed and I asked to cancel my account.
I then got offered a free month, and as I did accept it I also ask that as soon as that month was finished my Elite Pro account had to be deleted.
What's next? They charge me again as if i never ask to cancel my account. And now they are telling me that they can not refund me the money.

Also, they would send you "match" notification, telling you that someone is interested in your service. I then use my credits (and you pay for them) to contact this potential customers, and the result is that what they were looking for doesn't match at all what you are offering.

Don't waste your time.
This people just wants your money!

I have been with Bark for 2 weeks and have used credits for leads. I have had more unresponsive leads than secure leads. How is it that we use credits to contact leads but if the leads dont respond for communication, we still have to pay for it. The leads I have responded to was via Phone call (no answer), Text (no response) and email (no response). Then seeing the account close and I was the only seller to contact them. Seems very dodgy and not legitimate. I do not trust Barks service and professionalism. Poor customer services with no managers available to talk to.
