I am going to make this brief. Bidvine send fake job requests to professionals. In order to bid/ respond for a job the professional has to pay £8-£15 per job to Bidvine. The clients do not exist! The jobs and people are all fabricated. You may get 15 job requests per day but I can guarantee you that only one will be real (if that!). All you professionals on Bidvine stop bidding and don't waste your hard earnt money. I have collected enough evidence and am in the process of reporting them to Trading Standards. There is another site called Bark which I am currently testing but I think they are generating fake job requests too.
The leads do not exist. The clients do not exist. The contact details do no exist. All you professionals out there do not waste your hard earned money. There is also another similar site called Bidvine using the same scam!
On the consumer side, my elderly Mother used Bark to find someone to landscape her garden. They took a £250 deposit and disappeared. The best thing to do is use people who have worked for someone you know rather than these job sites.

Hi Jasmine,
We do not want customers to have a negative experience with us, however we strongly refute the claims you have made against our business. We reached out to you to try and resolve some of your issues but you did not respond.
All our leads are screened by an automated system, and we have a credit return policy which covers any contact details which are not working. We feel this is the fairest system we can have as we are not a commission based system that guarantees work, and only provide contact details for enquiries placed with us. We also earn no commission or funds from repeat business.
We regularly received great feedback from both customers and service providers and we're very sorry to hear that this has not been yours or your mothers experience. Whilst we are merely a marketing platform we do remove professionals found to deliver bad work - please email us at team@bark.com to report this company to us.
Kind regards,
The Bark Team
