A lead based service site/app connecting consumers looking for a varitey of service pros that seems glossy on the surface. Seems like a great idea until the cracks begin to show. Potentially fake Leads that never return messages, and seem highly disconnected (like bots) a site that gets glitchier and glitchier as you learn the nuances and intricacies of how this $#*!ty site scams good people and wastes people's valuable time. Horrible customer service full of apologies and excuses with no ability to resolve issues or provide corrective action. The more you play - the more you get invested, and the more you see just how glaring and cleverly they have i tentionally sey up inconplete info loops to cause yiu to use credits, then BUYER BEWARE of the auto top off that was never authorized, offered, or selected by me. No fine print. The language of a guaranteed client yielding greater than your cost for leads or they will pay for a free round of leads is also a whole rats nest with the hoops they make you jump through to even request those credits after you have already been auto charged for a new round of credits. This seems so illegal. Of course they are also registered with a fake office in Delaware - the scam corporation and digital company state with best corporate tax benefits. Another example - the estimate box doesn't indicate anywhere that there's a word limit or that it will cut your carefully crafted estimate off after so many characters even though it lets you keep typing and submit. Also, I discovered my profile lists a related service that I don't offer so I get booking requests for that - but the site won't let me deselect or edit that out of my profile- forcing potential "customer" leads for a service I can't provide. And if you don't respond - your response rating goes down. Either way - your paying for an empty credit. This site/app has casino gaming-tech qualities woven all throughout the whole experience - and feels very synthetic, soul-less and impersonal.
After countless leads, with full estimates and details shared - then calls and texts made to dead-end numbers with only one real person who returned a message - then flaked on his special FX appt after I went shopping for supplies to complete his job. Then zero replies, explanation. The site seems to have automated fake AI interactive replies. I am absolutely convinced that 90% of these people are fake - and that this site was set up to mine data through AI survey and gather information about these industries by accessing estimates of all kinds info through the platform - which should be totally confidential. There are not enough parameters qualifying potential leads. No budget range is asked or divulged by app generated leads. Dealer always has the upper hand. And this credit system sucks - no way to verify any of these fake leads. I sure would love to have verified users and service providers - for everyone's protection - such as a personal facebook page. And 1 other major platform presence. This app is loaded with so many ways deception and manipulation can happen to more easily cipher away peoole's money. Agents are paid for jobs booked and paid a percentage of the vakue of the job they negotiate. This credit experience is for me was more like a marxist mindset programming experience... conditioning and rewarding through the user experience was highly manipulated and conditioned like a communist credit banking system, only given when certain behavior patterns and conditions are met. This is why I think it feels so soulless and devalues both the user and service professionals by taking them off a financial grid concept and into a credit system. Really horrific of you ask me! I see through this tool of the dark at play and I'm calling it out for the sake of human decency, community, authentic connection and freedom. The company couldn't have picked a more insulting name - it's quite horrible and degrading - "Bark" it's pavlov's dog classic conditioning code for humans interacting with tech in a way that slowly, then with a rapid uptake turns users into lab rats looking for cheese. You learn the subconscious codes the way a video gamer looks for dopamine rewards to crack the code to the next level. Abd by the time you figure that out - this front of a company has siphoned away your dollars on what seems like a lot of work that you did (but in reality were spinung in circles giving you the illusion of work and built value through the illusion of forward motion, chasing down leads whenever they bark to get that cheese. The Jig is up. Game over.
Gross company. I'd love to know what shell company and holding companies are behind this. I bet the money trail leads to bitcoin washing machines then overseas. My recommend is to stay away from this gross company. A serious investigation should be performed on this company. It's one big psyop if you ask one who sees behind illusions. One of the gifts a true makeup artist develops is to see people's people's authentic energy, beyond the surface and how to craft illusions that mask or radiate that inner frequency. This site is a mask and the true mechanism is concealed within. This is black magic energy.

Tip for consumers:
Avoid this and other sites like this - it’s part of the AI surveillance and mind programming systems using dopamine reward med behavior conditioning systems. This is a an AI program designed to precondition users for credit based surveillance systems that lay the groundwork for total control and human enslavement. See this for what it is guys - this is of heinous!
