I recently joined Bark and purchased the starter pack with a guarantee to get hired at least once. Nothing! A bunch of the leads I paid for we're bogus. Try calling or sending an email to lead and none of the info is correct. Sent an email to Bark requesting a refund. They have me more credits to use. I would like my actual cash returned to me! I've used a couple different apps similar to this that are legit and I've got work from. I'm also reporting this to the BBB and my local authorities for this FRAUD!
Hi Troy,
We're very sorry to hear that you have not had success with us. We did try to speak with you to help but we did not get a response.
We do screen every single lead using our automated system and have a credit return policy which allows us to return credits for any leads which are found to have incorrect details. Please email us at [email protected] if you would like a copy of this and if you would like to report any leads.
Our Get Hired Guarantee is clearly stipulated as being the offer of credits returned if no leads are converted the first time around. We generally have a 1 in 5 conversion rate and this is why our starter packs have this offer - essentially we want to help you achieve a return on investment. Please do get in touch if we can help any further.
Kind regards,

I had no problems in arranging the repair/replacement of fence panels damaged after a storm. I had several respondents and arranged the work within 24 hours and the work was complted the next day.
The work was done by Unique Gardening and Landscape at a fair price. With the agreed specifications of concrete posts and footers to the panels.the garden was left clean and tidy with all debris removed.
