I received a quick response to my original inquiry which was followed up by an equally swift response from a potential contractor.
They con you with fake customers then get you to buy leads which don't lead to any business - complete waste of money

I was called by Elite property maintance regarding my gutters leaking, they said they would do the job for £100, as I was at work they said they could do it in my absence as it was the front of house i didn't need to be there, they took a picture of the front door as proof of them being at the property however, did no work at all, the gutter is leaking just as before no work was carried out, I transferred £100 via my bank as i thought they had completed the job only to find out they had scammed me, I called them they said they would bet me my £100 they had stolen that they would not be removed from the Bark platform they continue to be on the Bark platform and are scamming people, Bark have done nothing about it, and say they do not need to remove them off there platform
