Home Advisor Angies List Verified Leads are lies... Charges not refunded. Golden colorado

I was told all the great benefits of how may people needed my services in my area. I was told there were multiple people waiting. I didnt need the business but thought i would give it a shot. Should have know when they charged you $288 upfornt to advertise for you company... Then you get a lead, only to find out it was a kid messing around and there really is no lead. Or you get a homeowner who isnt ever wanting to build or remodel, they just wanted to talk to you on the phone to prove their spouse wrong as to how much sometihing may cost. But i was told by home advisor that this is normal and i would just recieve credits for these.. this is after a half an hour of fighting. Then i get the next lead and same thing. But this time they wont issue a credit. So i cancel my service, never recieve a refund. I was originally told if i was unhappy i would be refunded.. lies... I called my credit card company and resolved the issue myself.
