For those saying this is an illegitimate site, they either suck at marketing, or their business sucks, or both. This site DOES generate work and income. I have done fairly well. However, my issue has always been how they don't make it clear that we pay to communicate with clients. People sign up who aren't serious. If you are aware of how to work the system, you may call or e-mail to ask for credits to be returned, which usually works out, if you are honestly inquiring. However, sometimes their agents are bringing their baggage with them. You can hear their disdain on the other line.I had a lead from someone I called that jjst wanted to rent microphones, and they seemed like they were on drugs. I told them I don't rent out my gear and called customer service to get a refund. I had an agent tell me something that didn't make sense. He said the customer is still seeking the service and to call him in a half hour. I asked, "Did he specifically ask for me to call him back?", which was different than what he was telling me, and he just kept repeating the answer as if he had no concern for this stupid American on the other line. I tried to ask multiple times and he kept repeating himself. It escalated to the point of yelling, me asking if he was a robot, and he kept saying he was going to have to terminate the call. I am now banned because their communication sucks. Oh well...blessing in disguise. No more spending 70 dollars to ask 5 non-serious people if they need a DJ, only to be refunded for 2 or 3 of them and try again with a 50/50 shot of getting a gig. So, all in all, at 70 dollars a pop, and a 50/50 chance of getting a gig, I'd say you spend 140 dollars to surely get one gig and charge 4 or 5 hundred dollars. Maybe if you are lucky, you will get 2 or 3. Not worth it when it's just one or two for 140 dollars. $#*! this company and their money-grubbing ways of not informing the clients on how it works so their customers, us, are happily spending credits on serious inquiries. Two stars because some of the agents are gems amongst people and I still made money, it's not illegitimate, just seriously lacks integrity.

Bark attempted to help this customer through the Sitejabber Resolution Center, but the customer did not respond
