Hi Andrew,
We're sorry to hear that you have not had success with us and thank you for your feedback.
All of our leads are screened, however as we are an open public platform we urge professionals to respond to leads with the most information, and ideally within the first hour of them being released. Professionals that adhere to this practice are the most likely to convert with us, as these leads are the most likely to turn into work. If you would like some help with making the most of the platfrom please email us at team@bark.com.
Kind regards,

I have been on Bark.com for a while now, and find that u can not possibly make money on this site as we pay for nothing really. Some people I have discovered on this site r not real.
I found this out from some numbers I called for the job, and found these people who answered did not know what I was talking about, in fact, some of them did not even know bark.com.
Some notifications I got, that had just come in. The so called customer answered only to state that they had a DJ already. Now with my understanding on this, how is it that as soon a new notification comes in, the job has gone. I have never seen speed as fast as that in my life.
That to me is differently a scam. I was called by bark.com to try and convince me to pay more money to something I never made money out of lol. A total joke i tell u.
I told the lady that I might as well go to a casino to gamble, as i might get lucky there more then at bark. She said if I pay the money, she would make sure i get the credits back that i never got a job for.
So, Like a fool, I believed her, only to discover that there r people already complaining about the same thing I am talking about here on the net, and I had sent a number of emails asking for my credits back which was promised to me, and would u believe it?
Now when I call them to find out what is happening? I find that no body answers the phone on both numbers. So when I researched more? I found loads of people that r not happy with bark.com at all. All I know is if they carry on scamming people here? They will make such a bad name for themselves, they will have to shut down or something as there r allot of angry people out there.
