Thumbtack is a big time scam. I was with them for four years. I left my well paying job and started my own business with Thumbtack it worked well for a while and I had 187 five stars reviews. I was providing for my family with the jobs I was getting from thumbtack. Then they changed everything overnight. They got greedy. They started to raise their price for the fake leads. Before each lead was priced around $3 to $7 but over night they raised the price to $30 and in some cases to $85. Most of the leads are fake and not only that thumbtack sends fake texts and emails to the consumers asking them if they are willing to take on a certain projects without any one present. I have numerous emails and leads like that from thumbtack in my archive. I gave up on sending quotes for the fake leads and I didn't send anything For two, three months then I realized that this scammers had charged me $380 for the quotes that I hadn't even looked at! IF THIS IS NOT A SCAM THEN WHAT IS?
