REFUNDS!!

I am so tired of getting leads that provide wrong numbers or never respond back and then being denied a refund. I have been a top pro for years now and have spent a lot of money, but I'm going to go another route if something doesn't change

    Has anyone been experiencing fake leads? Same name in two different cities? Or same information in one lead as another? Ver questionsable leads here.

    @nicole2381 Sorry this has happened! Did you report the customer? If not, please do - we do have systems in place to catch duplicate or spam leads, but sometimes they don't get caught. If you suspect it is spam/scam please report it. In case you don't know where to do that - it is in the messenger with the customer - you'll see 3 dots, click on that and then click "report". Feel free to send me the names too and I can look into it. Same for you @chilogm1

    Hi Dusti, I did report it and no reply. I also had another one that I reported today in which the lead was for the the hours up to 12pm. My profile shows that I do not start until 12pm but I was charged anyway and Thumbtack won't refund me. I have been working with your company for 2 years now and it is really frustrating with how I get charged for jobs that are not in my description or that are fake leads.

    I am getting a boatload of false leads with no one even looking at the messages. What’s the point of getting a false lead. I’ve tried getting a refund and no help there. I’ve also been sent drug messages asking me to come visit them at the hospital. Again, no refund. Please help!

    @Mediation1 Could you please send me a DM with the folks asking about drugs? Just the name of the customer so I can look into it? Thank you.

    Also whoever does mediation please make sure there isn’t a restraining order in place before you reach out to the other to mediate. Thumbtack still made me pay for the lead even after telling them this.
