As another review has said my experience Bark attracts low paying clients who will rarely if ever respond to offers you make. I would not give them any money again. Even a large agency for example would be better off pumping fun money into something like AdWords or Facebook than paying a premium for (not) pre-qualified leads which are really just people punching buttons to get something that possibly may want for a few quid. Not for professionals, and spammy solicitation approach to get providers on board to begin with, followed by a deluge of poorly filtered e-mails from fake "agents" trying to promote their (not your) skimming business.

Bark cater to an extremely low budget clients setting up false expectations of what they should pay. Bark.com solicit professionals but expect them to charge as amateurs and to give them a cut. Bark.com is telling their clients "what they should expect to pay" That 'payment' is an insult and a joke. Bark solicit professionals promising them work and "free" leads but once they send one "lead" practically a person who expects to hire you for minimum Bark.com is asking you to pay. If you value your work I recommend you don't sign with them.

A few days have passed since I bought credits for contact with service providers. I have submitted offers for all loans, I have not received any reply except the main information that the offer does not matter. I wrote to all sms but I did not receive the answer. I called, no one answered the phone. I have exhausted all the credits and decided to give up your offer and I am asking for a refund for credits as you promised during the previous correspondence, I have the impression that email addresses and phones are empty and closed. I can use your offer at another time and at a later date and for a moment I am asking for a refund.

I have been using profit by search now for 3 months and I have a huge increase in my business website.

I joined skillpages in june and it's been quite good. It works a bit like Thumbtack does. I used it to hire a painter for my flat and also a cleaner who comes once a month to give my place a good cleaning. I haven't witnessed any email problems as noted below, but i do see an option to invite contacts. I presume if u press this, it will email them like linkedin do, but i dont know.

They are probably a 3 or 4 star as it's not great yet, but it is near enough as good as the others for finding local people to do work

The site Skillpages put me on blast when in fact I am a mother of several children and a hidding victim of DV. Skillpages put all my information online and I did not open any account with them and there is not way for me to reach them to have my profile removed. This is the evil and devils work of who ever is responsible for such a thing. Someone needs to go to jail for violating our rights to privacy like this and further victimizing me and my family. This site made contact with people on my list but I never opened an account with them I do have a relative Paula Jones who has victimized our family as well and I suggest she is responsible for all of this.

Joining Skillpages was an awful experience. I did not give them permission to email all my contacts and they did -- anyone who had ever been in contact with me on Gmail. Many of these people did not appreciate the solicitation from Skillpages that I did not authorize. Over 600 contacts most of whom I did not even know, were automatically contacted with solicitations.

What's FAR worse, though as yet unconfirmed, was that I was informed that those whom I contacted, had their contacts contacted.

This experience in any event was very embarrassing for me and can only have harmed my business relationships. I will have nothing further to do with Skillpages as a company.
