Thumbtack.com Misrepresented advertising for businesses Internet

I recently signed up to advertise my business with Thumbtack.com. They say in there ads that you can buy leads to help your business grow. after doing a review search I found that it was a 50/50 split on businesses that were happy with their results that their personnal business got from this web site. So I thought it might be worth a chance to promote my Maid service on there website. After signing up i started receiving text messages from Thumbtack.com that would say the persons first name and there last initial only and that they were looking for someone to clean their home. Thumbtack will only give you the first name and a Last Initial of the person that supposedly asked for a Quote. I responded to 4 of the text messages telling me someone wanted a quote for a house cleaning. May I just say that I never heard back from any of the so called people that were interested. It wasnt a huge expense, but you do not know if they are true leads for people wanting work done or just names made up by the company and text to you so you would spend money for the lead. In my experience with this company, It is a total rip off for consumers wanting to build there business up. And to top it all off. If they sent you a text message about a lead and you dont respond to the text. Thumbtack.com will constantly keep sending you text messages that would say the persons name and they are still waiting on another quote. In an attempt to get you to keep buying leads. I had to delete my account with them after one week so they would stop bothering me with all the repeat text they would keep sending. In summary STAY AWAY from this company. They Are A RIP OFF company.
