    Watch Out For Angi

    "It", "She" started out as a website that you had to pay to become a member of to get hooked-up with local Handymen, Plumbers and the such; "Angie's List dot Com" was what it was called.

    Then, they dropped the consumer based money grab and, turned it around; if you want your business to be seen on Angi.com you have to pay them and, Angi wants a cut of what trade you have via their site.

    On the page, they recommend that you read the TOS before continuing; READ THE TOS!

    By clicking any link, you are making a commitment yourself to their cut-throat business scheme; they sent "Joe-the-Handyman" out who looked at what I needed done. He admitted that he could only be a middleman-contractor because the job was bigger than him.

    Whatever Joe was going to hook-up, he didn't want it to go through Angi.com so he took my cell number and told me he would have an estimate in a week or so.

    Back to Angi, the bitch is flooding my inbox and cellphone trying to see if Joe did the job under the table; you know something going on when the first thing they, "This is a recorded call" , really?

    I unsubscribed from the 5+ Angi news letters and removed the app from my phone and when they call, I screen their calls and send them to voicemail hell.

    Don't click on any links on that site.

    Angi is no longer “Angie’s List.” It was bought by, and then merged into, Homeadvisor.

    It is not what it once was. Caveat that Emptor.

    I've always been a DIY guy with a little help from my friends, now retired and there are always friends. Who needs Angi when you have your own list?
