does anyone use this ? they keep phoning me now their sending me texts sayin I can quote for a job but need to pay them £10 ? ?? i keep missing their calls but next call I get I'm considerin tellin them to **** off !!! seen alot of bad reviews on the net about it ...

anyone on this site use it ?

 

[Puddle]

I think your considered action is quite acceptable in this matter

You will spend a fortune in paying for quotes that end in nothing

imho

 

[GQuigley67]

yeah ano, think I'll do just that to be honest, they aint getting my bank details !! see alot of customer reviews etc on google but usual no tradesmen reviews !!

 

[Barry98]

i ask them for 3 FREE LEADS , or a months trial etc and if i get any jobs from them then ill subscribe

 

[GQuigley67]

do you recommend it ? seems a bit too much hassle to be honest

 

[danielp]

they made me an account with out asking didnt give me any passwords they call about 20 times a day and keeps sending me emails for £10 should be called annoying people

 

[Billy Bob Bob]

sounds like a con.com

Hi GQuigley 67

I have just started using them, so far for an outlay of £16 have earnt £365 and in fairness these jobs were nice little time fillers when I didnt have much on and all the jobs were within a five mile radius, so cant complain.Hope this helps.

[GQuigley67]

well they haven't given me a password also for a start but I'll wait to hear more positive views if there are any i've gotten 4 txts off them today so far with one or 2 of them being a big job

 

[Bartdude]

One thing to bear in mind is that people who use sites like that to find tradesmen will be after the cheapest job possible. I may be generalising but I reckon you would get more than your fair share of nightmare customers.

 

[GQuigley67]

well they set a "budget" on the site, one was take out old suite fit new and retile floor, budget £500 !!!

I rest my case

 

[Plum Bob 66]

Agreed, but you have the choice of wether you want to take the job or not. When you get the initial lead you get the budget, from then its up to you. Like I said its ok for a few odd jobs but I wouldnt rely on it.

I did it for about 6 months when it first came out , it's rubbish! every customer is " one of them" why do you think they signed up for it. You will be undercut by everyone and will cost you £250 a month easily, do yourself a favour and spend it in a local magazine or on other forms of advertising it really is so vexating when you pay say £10 for someones number as soon as you get the text and they just say " oh I think my husbands just going to do it himself now ! I hope they go bust.
