"Suspicious Leads" are not creditited?

I received a bizarre request from a User who asked a "handyman" to repair a commercial compressed air system in his "living room" on January 2nd.

I'm in Pennsylvania. The original inquiry was from a Georgia number, which I called immediately after sending a reply via the TT app. It went to VM. I received a text message from a VOIP area code in Miami that's known as Florida's most prolific scam call area code.

He asked me to go to an industrial complex that has 24 hour maintenance staffing. (I know this because I used to work for a company that routinely interacted with these locations under five year-long evergreen "auto-renew" contracts) There is no reason anyone in that complex should ever make an independent request, let alone on Thumbtack.

This was fishy, I submitted a refund request. Of course, the wheel of denial spun and the refund was refused.

A few weeks later, same "person" submitted a request to another area that is known for having a lot of mega warehouses.

I submitted a refund request for that too referencing the first inquiry. Also denied.

Today, I happen to notice that thumbtack "removed this because it was suspicious".

So I checked all my receipts over the last several weeks and I see no credits or refunds for these suspicious inquiries, which I told Thumbtack were suspicious.

I guess I need to go through all the messages to compare how much money I've spent on inquiries that Thumbtack eventually agrees are "suspicious".
