Absolute MONEY SUCKING HOLE

Absolute MONEY SUCKING HOLE.
Useless platform for small businesses. STAY AWAY.
All they want is your money. the leads are so low quality. How can you charge people when they're just messing about. No genuine people there. Wasted £1000 on that an no money back. Time waster!!!

Absolute worst of the all the lead generation sites

If you are a tradesman star well away from Bark.com
You've been warned.
I've used checkatrade, rated people, mybuilder, myjobquote.co.uk, you name it. Bark.com are the absolute worst. The vast majority of "customers" on Bark are not serious, just messing about, checking prices. Most of them won't even take your call or answer your messages. Total waste of money. It is designed that way. To suck your money, for nothing.

We looked for a driveway company on Bark for reviews, we found a company called Maddox Interpave, all good reviews. We used this company thinking they were good, the work they did on our drive was very poor.
To review a company on Bark you need permission from the company you use, all bad reviews don't get seen.
DON'T USE BARK for any trade or you might get cowboys.

There is no professionals here

There is no professionals here, bark com will not check for qualifications, public liability insurance etc..
Company is using other businesses names to generate work for their cowboys...
Stay away from these con artists.

I work as a personal trainer I used bidvine.com, it was an excellent website unfortunately bark.com bought to bidvine.com. and I decided to try bark.com. I made a good profile, my clients texted positive reviews. And after I got £80 credits. I sent messages to clients via bark.com and WhatsApp
total of 10 messages and 0 replies. it does not make sense. in my opinion bark.com disappointment for me

Do not use any traders from BARK

Do not use any traders from BARK. Absolute COWBOYS, Conartist, Thieves.
Advertised a job on BARK and got 3 companies to reach out to me, apparently set up by the same people.
Agreed on a price to do the job and but halfway through the job worker started demanding more money.
I was absolutely furious but stuck with a half-finished job and a garden full of rubbish and felt helpless. It felt like getting robbed in daylight. Had to pay extra for the same job.
Never again using anyone from BARK.

It's a rip off. Do not use this company.

Responded to my first job. Got an immediate reply from the customer Hi Flatpack Dave,
Carole has replied to your SMS. Here’s what they said:

"Thank you for getting in touch - I should have indicated that the job's already been done (not very au fait with Bark, I'm afraid) - apologies"
Click the button below to reply to their message on your dashboard.

I contacted bark to ask for my credit back and their reply was that I should have responded faster. Surely this company should be regulated by financial services as that is what they provide

It is unbelievable

It is unbelievable , professional should stay away , even if you sell your services for 1£ still no replay to something that you pay 6£ , VAt will be added to your purchase, obviously without knowing.
The "costumers " want to just enquire not knowing that every "hi" is 8£ going to a platform (expensive for what they doing actually) ...thay ruin the market.
Few more credits to throw out and done.

Totally scam

Totally scam, trader should be aware of this money black whole.
I made up a account and just most of jobs were gone with in few minutes,looks like fake jobs and on to of that there is, AUTO TOP UP,
if you don't put attention your bank will empty and you are already facing economical crimes.
Just for one call 8 credits =3pound are gone and on other side person says,oh we have hired some one!
BE AWARE of this website.

I’ve never signed up to them in my life…

I’ve never signed up to them in my life but I received some verification texts for an account and some missed calls from a different number. I called them and before I could even finish what I was saying, he started saying my number had been misused and that he was sorry as if this is a very common occurrence. I asked if I could report the number that called me (who I assume signed me up and was trying to get the verification code) and he said he couldn’t do that or give me any more information. They shouldn’t be trusted with anyone’s information if they are letting people sign up random numbers and getting away with it.

Wish I’d read the reviews before…

Wish I’d read the reviews before signing up. I bought credits at a discounted rate and then was charged VAT on top. I thought I was paying £72 as advertised and then suddenly 87 was taken from my account. They offer a money back guarantee if you don’t get work, which I didn’t. You have to pay for the jobs and there’s no guarantee of work. Some of them cost over £10. When I queried it because I didn’t get hired, they said they would refund me but they refunded the credits instead of the money. Even if somebody contacts you, you have to pay to reply to them. It seems like a massive con and I feel so disappointed that I’m even more broke than before!

Its all a con

Its all a con, the garentee isn't worth the paper its printed on. Thing about it all they are saying is if you dont get a lead they will give you 110 credits, and when you dont get a lead from that/ lol you get nothing, its just a way to exploit people, there is no real leads, the numbers and address are not real, stay away from this company at all cost.

Poor quality Leads

The leads provided are generally of a poor quality. I have had numerous leads that either don't answer their phones or respond to any attempt made to contact them. I have had leads with wrong phone nos, which have been credited, but I don't have time to keep chasing up credits or poor leads.
Both myself and my husband have used this service and both have found our leads, for different services extremely poor.
