HomeAdvisor unverified leads and locked exit with steep cancellation penalties

Paid Lead-Generation Platforms Sell Unvetted, Non-Working Contact Leads
A business owner paid for leads through Angi based on a promise of vetted, qualified prospects, but found phone numbers frequently didn't work and the rare responsive contacts weren't ready to buy. Despite sales assurances of lead qualification, no actual screening process appears to occur before leads are sold.
Angi service-pro leads are recycled and prospects rarely answer

HomeAdvisor/Angi sells fake leads and forfeits contractor budgets on cancellation
