<br />
Reading through HomeAdvisor's reviews, it seems very clear and common that HomeAdvisor are just scammers and credit card thieves trying to get a hold of your financial information to make fraudulent charges. Notice how all those scam websites are impersonating as local contractors don't even have a phone number, but just a generic contact form for their victims to fill out, and all have the same design and layout. They are copy-and-paste fake websites meant to steal and sell your information. Never provide any information to HomeAdvisor or those 26 fake websites. Especially, never give your Social Security number or credit card information to HomeAdvisor. A legitimate contractor's website would have a phone number, most likely a direct local area code phone number (avoid any phishing websites that have a generic 1-800 or 1-855 or 1-833 phone number), other contact information such as an address or an email address, and a license number. Don't fall for these 26 fake websites pretending to be contractors. When you see websites like these scam websites run by HomeAdvisor that only have a contact form, those are typical phishing scams and you should run and report them to the BBB and your Attorney General's office. HomeAdvisor is using horribly treacherous fraudulent practices and false advertising. Again, if you've been tricked by these fake websites or fake ads (or fake craigslist listings) that HomeAdvisor is running, run far away from HomeAdvisor and report them to the BBB and your Attorney General's office.<br />

Tyler Horvath of Overland Park, Kansas and Kansas City, Missouri is in charge of running these scam websites for HomeAdvisor. His full name is Tyler Benjamin Horvath, he was born on June 3, 1986, and he is a serial scammer. He lives in Overland Park, KS, which is just 1 minute away from the HomeAdvisor office in Lenexa, KS. These fake websites are registered through Namecheap and hosted by Leaseweb, which is very fitting because Namecheap, owned by Richard Kirkendall, and Leaseweb are precisely the register and hosting provider typically used by hackers, scammers, and various other cybercriminals. Not surprising that Namecheap and Leaseweb consistently refuse to help take down scammers, malware websites, and fake websites. Even the majority of employees/contractors at Namecheap are Russian criminals - just contact Namecheap support and you'll find they all have typical Russian names likes Valeri, Dimitri, Anton, Natasha, Oleg, etc, even though Richard Kirkendall, the CEO of Namecheap, claims he "has no Russian employees."<br />
<br />
HomeAdvisor is nothing more than false advertising. As this lawsuit filed and won by The People of the State of California v HomeAdvisor shows (https://sfdistrictattorney[removed by editor]/sites/default/files/HomeAdvisor%20et%20al%20Complaint_0.pdf), HomeAdvisor is lying about contractors on its platform being background checked. I know from my insider experience that HomeAdvisor for a fact does not background check their contractors. The judge issued an injunction banning HomeAdvisor from making any further claims about background-checking its contractors. Besides fake websites impersonating as local contractors and making false claims about background-checking contractors, HomeAdvisor engages in lots of other false advertising. HomeAdvisor has false ads on craigslist (https://www.abc15[removed by editor]/news/let-joe-know/are-craigslist-ads-really-from-homeadvisor). Once a contractor signs up with HomeAdvisor, HomeAdvisor hijacks that small business's online branding (as indicated on pages 136-139 of ), which is probably why only the worst contractors and construction companies out there are the kind that would ever sign up with HomeAdvisor. The overwhelming majority of contractors listed on HomeAdvisor, which I also know from extensive experience and research, do not have a license, are not registered, are not insured, but most HomeAdvisor contractors do have criminal records. From my own experience reviewing a few hundred contractor profiles listed on HomeAdvisor, well over 80% of the contractors on HomeAdvisor aren't licensed and many if not most have criminal records. On Google or Bing, by comparison, that number is probably between 5 to 10%. Simply, use common sense. HomeAdvisor is a middleman, a giant marketing corporation, a scam, nothing more. HomeAdvisor is a platform for the lowest quality contractors out there, usually guys with little or no experience, guys with meth teeth or guys that haven't showered in days operating out of some van or truck, some home burglars and crooks using the platform to find their next victims, and as so many reviews of HomeAdvisor state: HomeAdvisor is for the "bottom of the barrel" and "bottom feeder" type of contractors - i.e., the worst of the worst contractors in your area. HomeAdvisor claims to be free, but is not and charges approximately on average 10 contractors $60 each for every 1 lead ($600 per every lead) plus the $300+ annual membership fee. HomeAdvisor claims they sell each lead (a homeowner's information) to only 3 contractors, but from countless bad reviews, complaints, and even undercover investigations by, for example, law firms, we know that to be false too and they actually sell each lead to as many as 10 even 50 contractors. HomeAdvisor's advertising slogan is "Don't Overpay," but the very lead generation model means you'll pay extra for going through such a middleman. HomeAdvisor is also known to not only sell your information as a middleman to contractors who you should've gone directly to, but also to telemarketers. Many bad reviews from homeowners that fell for HomeAdvisor complain of suddenly being on telemarketing lists for various scams. HomeAdvisor are well-known and documented to write fake reviews, including countless fake positive reviews of their own company, HomeAdvisor. HomeAdvisor has also been exposed generating fake leads and/or recycling old leads several times by homeowners and undercover detectives. Also, once HomeAdvisor has your credit card information, they'll drain your bank accounts with countless fraudulent mini charges in the hopes you won't notice those charges and you'll have to then close the card or spend a lot of time disputing the charges with the bank.<br />
<br />
HomeAdvisor has thousands of telemarketers working for them and each of those telemarketers makes, by there own admission, 200 calls a day so that is literally about 600,000 people in this country every day that are getting harassed by cold calls from these telemarketing and robocalling scammers at HomeAdvisor. If HomeAdvisor were shut down, that is 600,000 telemarketing calls that would be eliminated every day.HomeAdvisor bombards cable television with fancy commercials full of lies, they bombard your phones with telemarketing calls, and they bombard the internet with fake advertisements and fake websites. HomeAdvisor is a major scam effecting people all over the country right now like those IRS scam calls. Also while on the topic, avoid using any of these lead generation middlemen companies like MeetMattServices, Thumbtack, Porch, HomeAdvisor, etc. That's all they are, they are just middleman giant marketing corporations that take a huge cut for adding absolutely no value and that huge cut eventually gets passed down to the customers. Don't ever do business with HomeAdvisor in any way and don't fall for their marketing and television commercials. HomeAdvisor is by far the worst place on the entire internet you can go to to find a contractor as the overwhelming majority of contractors or pretend contractors that HomeAdvisor has signed up on its platform are not licensed, not registered, not insured, and most of the contractors on HomeAdvisor even have criminal records. Simply never ever provide any information to HomeAdvisor and practice common sense when searching for a contractor.<br />
<br />
HomeAdvisor is paying a lot of dirty money to keep getting away with this, including to Eric Schmidt, the CEO of Google, and Richard Kirkendall, the CEO of Namecheap. It's a lot of corruption that allows these scammers to carry on. They say to try mailing Brandon Ridenour, the CEO of HomeAdvisor, at 211 S Cherry St, Denver, CO 80246. No response. They say to try calling and mailing Matt Zurcher, the Senior Vice President at HomeAdvisor, at (303) 694-4472, (303) 841-2818, (303) 282-7317 and 6661 N Village Rd, Parker, CO 80134. No response. They say to try mailing Barry Diller, the Chairman of IAC and HomeAdvisor, at 1940 Coldwater Canyon Dr, Beverly Hills, CA 90210. No response. They say to try calling and mailing Tyler Horvath, the owner of Projectquote LLC, at (913) 961-8446 and 6005 W 128th St, Overland Park, KS 66209, 5601 W 136th Terrace #105, Overland Park, KS 66224, and 14317 Manor Ct, Overland Park, KS 66224. No response. Brandon Ridenour of Denver, CO, the CEO of HomeAdvisor; Matt Zurcher, the Senior Vice President at HomeAdvisor; Barry Diller, the Chairman of IAC and HomeAdvisor; Tyler Horvath of Overland Park, Kansas, the owner of Projectquote LLC; all the other executives at HomeAdvisor; and along all the other people who work or have worked at HomeAdvisor should all be locked up in prison for the rest of their lives for running these mega scams. Now every time somebody comes across and Googles these fake websites, HomeAdvisor's and Tyler Horvath's names will be shown and people will know the truth. HomeAdvisor is totally dishonest and deceitful and is nothing more than a despicable scam. Due diligence, people. Don't mindlessly fill-out a form you found on the internet, don't do any sort of business with HomeAdvisor, and practice common sense. It's time for many more class action lawsuits (https://chimicles[removed by editor]/class-action-filed-homeadvisor-iacinteractive/) against HomeAdvisor and lets rip HomeAdvisor to shreds. Confiscate all the money that HomeAdvisor has and setup a Victim Compensation Fund for all the small businesses and others that they've defrauded.<br />

HomeAdvisor are well-known and documented to write fake reviews, including countless fake positive reviews of their own company, HomeAdvisor. HomeAdvisor has also been exposed generating fake leads and/or recycling old leads several times by homeowners and undercover detectives. Also, once HomeAdvisor has your credit card information, they'll drain your bank accounts with countless fraudulent mini charges in the hopes you won't notice those charges and you'll have to then close the card or spend a lot of time disputing the charges with the bank.<br />
<br />
HomeAdvisor has thousands of telemarketers working for them and each of those telemarketers makes, by there own admission, 200 calls a day so that is literally about 600,000 people in this country every day that are getting harassed by cold calls from these telemarketing and robocalling scammers at HomeAdvisor. If HomeAdvisor were shut down, that is 600,000 telemarketing calls that would be eliminated every day.HomeAdvisor bombards cable television with fancy commercials full of lies, they bombard your phones with telemarketing calls, and they bombard the internet with fake advertisements and fake websites. HomeAdvisor is a major scam effecting people all over the country right now like those IRS scam calls. Also while on the topic, avoid using any of these lead generation middlemen companies like MeetMattServices, Thumbtack, Porch, HomeAdvisor, etc. That's all they are, they are just middleman giant marketing corporations that take a huge cut for adding absolutely no value and that huge cut eventually gets passed down to the customers. Don't ever do business with HomeAdvisor in any way and don't fall for their marketing and television commercials. HomeAdvisor is by far the worst place on the entire internet you can go to to find a contractor as the overwhelming majority of contractors or pretend contractors that HomeAdvisor has signed up on its platform are not licensed, not registered, not insured, and most of the contractors on HomeAdvisor even have criminal records. Simply never ever provide any information to HomeAdvisor and practice common sense when searching for a contractor.<br />
<br />
HomeAdvisor is paying a lot of dirty money to keep getting away with this, including to Eric Schmidt, the CEO of Google, and Richard Kirkendall, the CEO of Namecheap. It's a lot of corruption that allows these scammers to carry on. They say to try mailing Brandon Ridenour, the CEO of HomeAdvisor, at 211 S Cherry St, Denver, CO 80246. No response. They say to try calling and mailing Matt Zurcher, the Senior Vice President at HomeAdvisor, at (303) 694-4472, (303) 841-2818, (303) 282-7317 and 6661 N Village Rd, Parker, CO 80134. No response.

Now every time somebody comes across and Googles these fake websites, HomeAdvisor's and Tyler Horvath's names will be shown and people will know the truth. HomeAdvisor is totally dishonest and deceitful and is nothing more than a despicable scam. Due diligence, people. Don't mindlessly fill-out a form you found on the internet, don't do any sort of business with HomeAdvisor, and practice common sense. It's time for many more class action lawsuits (https://chimicles[removed by editor]/class-action-filed-homeadvisor-iacinteractive/) against HomeAdvisor and lets rip HomeAdvisor to shreds.

<br />
Reading through HomeAdvisor's reviews, it seems very clear and common that HomeAdvisor are just scammers and credit card thieves trying to get a hold of your financial information to make fraudulent charges. Notice how all those scam websites are impersonating as local contractors don't even have a phone number, but just a generic contact form for their victims to fill out, and all have the same design and layout. They are copy-and-paste fake websites meant to steal and sell your information. Never provide any information to HomeAdvisor or those 26 fake websites. Especially, never give your Social Security number or credit card information to HomeAdvisor. A legitimate contractor's website would have a phone number, most likely a direct local area code phone number (avoid any phishing websites that have a generic 1-800 or 1-855 or 1-833 phone number), other contact information such as an address or an email address, and a license number. Don't fall for these 26 fake websites pretending to be contractors. When you see websites like these scam websites run by HomeAdvisor that only have a contact form, those are typical phishing scams and you should run and report them to the BBB and your Attorney General's office. HomeAdvisor is using horribly treacherous fraudulent practices and false advertising. Again, if you've been tricked by these fake websites or fake ads (or fake craigslist listings) that HomeAdvisor is running, run far away from HomeAdvisor and report them to the BBB and your Attorney General's office.<br />
<br />
Tyler Horvath of Overland Park, Kansas and Kansas City, Missouri is in charge of running these scam websites for HomeAdvisor. His full name is Tyler Benjamin Horvath, he was born on June 3, 1986, and he is a serial scammer. He lives in Overland Park, KS, which is just 1 minute away from the HomeAdvisor office in Lenexa, KS. These fake websites are registered through Namecheap and hosted by Leaseweb, which is very fitting because Namecheap, owned by Richard Kirkendall, and Leaseweb are precisely the register and hosting provider typically used by hackers, scammers, and various other cybercriminals. Not surprising that Namecheap and Leaseweb consistently refuse to help take down scammers, malware websites, and fake websites. Even the majority of employees/contractors at Namecheap are Russian criminals - just contact Namecheap support and you'll find they all have typical Russian names likes Valeri, Dimitri, Anton, Natasha, Oleg, etc, even though Richard Kirkendall, the CEO of Namecheap, claims he "has no Russian employees."<br />
<br />
HomeAdvisor is nothing more than false advertising. As this lawsuit filed and won by The People of the State of California v HomeAdvisor shows (https://sfdistrictattorney[removed by editor]/sites/default/files/HomeAdvisor%20et%20al%20Complaint_0.pdf), HomeAdvisor is lying about contractors on its platform being background checked. I know from my insider experience that HomeAdvisor for a fact does not background check their contractors. The judge issued an injunction banning HomeAdvisor from making any further claims about background-checking its contractors. Besides fake websites impersonating as local contractors and making false claims about background-checking contractors, HomeAdvisor engages in lots of other false advertising. HomeAdvisor has false ads on craigslist (https://www.abc15[removed by editor]/news/let-joe-know/are-craigslist-ads-really-from-homeadvisor). Once a contractor signs up with HomeAdvisor, HomeAdvisor hijacks that small business's online branding (as indicated on pages 136-139 of ), which is probably why only the worst contractors and construction companies out there are the kind that would ever sign up with HomeAdvisor. The overwhelming majority of contractors listed on HomeAdvisor, which I also know from extensive experience and research, do not have a license, are not registered, are not insured, but most HomeAdvisor contractors do have criminal records. From my own experience reviewing a few hundred contractor profiles listed on HomeAdvisor, well over 80% of the contractors on HomeAdvisor aren't licensed and many if not most have criminal records. On Google or Bing, by comparison, that number is probably between 5 to 10%. Simply, use common sense. HomeAdvisor is a middleman, a giant marketing corporation, a scam, nothing more. HomeAdvisor is a platform for the lowest quality contractors out there, usually guys with little or no experience, guys with meth teeth or guys that haven't showered in days operating out of some van or truck, some home burglars and crooks using the platform to find their next victims, and as so many reviews of HomeAdvisor state: HomeAdvisor is for the "bottom of the barrel" and "bottom feeder" type of contractors - i.e., the worst of the worst contractors in your area. HomeAdvisor claims to be free, but is not and charges approximately on average 10 contractors $60 each for every 1 lead ($600 per every lead) plus the $300+ annual membership fee. HomeAdvisor claims they sell each lead (a homeowner's information) to only 3 contractors, but from countless bad reviews, complaints, and even undercover investigations by, for example, law firms, we know that to be false too and they actually sell each lead to as many as 10 even 50 contractors. HomeAdvisor's advertising slogan is "Don't Overpay," but the very lead generation model means you'll pay extra for going through such a middleman. HomeAdvisor is also known to not only sell your information as a middleman to contractors who you should've gone directly to, but also to telemarketers. Many bad reviews from homeowners that fell for HomeAdvisor complain of suddenly being on telemarketing lists for various scams. HomeAdvisor are well-known and documented to write fake reviews, including countless fake positive reviews of their own company, HomeAdvisor. HomeAdvisor has also been exposed generating fake leads and/or recycling old leads several times by homeowners and undercover detectives. Also, once HomeAdvisor has your credit card information, they'll drain your bank accounts with countless fraudulent mini charges in the hopes you won't notice those charges and you'll have to then close the card or spend a lot of time disputing the charges with the bank.<br />
<br />
HomeAdvisor has thousands of telemarketers working for them and each of those telemarketers makes, by there own admission, 200 calls a day so that is literally about 600,000 people in this country every day that are getting harassed by cold calls from these telemarketing and robocalling scammers at HomeAdvisor. If HomeAdvisor were shut down, that is 600,000 telemarketing calls that would be eliminated every day.HomeAdvisor bombards cable television with fancy commercials full of lies, they bombard your phones with telemarketing calls, and they bombard the internet with fake advertisements and fake websites. HomeAdvisor is a major scam effecting people all over the country right now like those IRS scam calls. Also while on the topic, avoid using any of these lead generation middlemen companies like MeetMattServices, Thumbtack, Porch, HomeAdvisor, etc. That's all they are, they are just middleman giant marketing corporations that take a huge cut for adding absolutely no value and that huge cut eventually gets passed down to the customers. Don't ever do business with HomeAdvisor in any way and don't fall for their marketing and television commercials.

<br />
Reading through HomeAdvisor's reviews, it seems very clear and common that HomeAdvisor are just scammers and credit card thieves trying to get a hold of your financial information to make fraudulent charges. Notice how all those scam websites are impersonating as local contractors don't even have a phone number, but just a generic contact form for their victims to fill out, and all have the same design and layout. They are copy-and-paste fake websites meant to steal and sell your information. Never provide any information to HomeAdvisor or those 26 fake websites. Especially, never give your Social Security number or credit card information to HomeAdvisor. A legitimate contractor's website would have a phone number, most likely a direct local area code phone number (avoid any phishing websites that have a generic 1-800 or 1-855 or 1-833 phone number), other contact information such as an address or an email address, and a license number. Don't fall for these 26 fake websites pretending to be contractors. When you see websites like these scam websites run by HomeAdvisor that only have a contact form, those are typical phishing scams and you should run and report them to the BBB and your Attorney General's office. HomeAdvisor is using horribly treacherous fraudulent practices and false advertising. Again, if you've been tricked by these fake websites or fake ads (or fake craigslist listings) that HomeAdvisor is running, run far away from HomeAdvisor and report them to the BBB and your Attorney General's office.<br />
<br />
Tyler Horvath of Overland Park, Kansas and Kansas City, Missouri is in charge of running these scam websites for HomeAdvisor. His full name is Tyler Benjamin Horvath, he was born on June 3, 1986, and he is a serial scammer. He lives in Overland Park, KS, which is just 1 minute away from the HomeAdvisor office in Lenexa, KS. These fake websites are registered through Namecheap and hosted by Leaseweb, which is very fitting because Namecheap, owned by Richard Kirkendall, and Leaseweb are precisely the register and hosting provider typically used by hackers, scammers, and various other cybercriminals. Not surprising that Namecheap and Leaseweb consistently refuse to help take down scammers, malware websites, and fake websites. Even the majority of employees/contractors at Namecheap are Russian criminals - just contact Namecheap support and you'll find they all have typical Russian names likes Valeri, Dimitri, Anton, Natasha, Oleg, etc, even though Richard Kirkendall, the CEO of Namecheap, claims he "has no Russian employees."<br />
<br />
HomeAdvisor is nothing more than false advertising. As this lawsuit filed and won by The People of the State of California v HomeAdvisor shows (https://sfdistrictattorney[removed by editor]/sites/default/files/HomeAdvisor%20et%20al%20Complaint_0.pdf), HomeAdvisor is lying about contractors on its platform being background checked. I know from my insider experience that HomeAdvisor for a fact does not background check their contractors. The judge issued an injunction banning HomeAdvisor from making any further claims about background-checking its contractors. Besides fake websites impersonating as local contractors and making false claims about background-checking contractors, HomeAdvisor engages in lots of other false advertising. HomeAdvisor has false ads on craigslist (https://www.abc15[removed by editor]/news/let-joe-know/are-craigslist-ads-really-from-homeadvisor). Once a contractor signs up with HomeAdvisor, HomeAdvisor hijacks that small business's online branding (as indicated on pages 136-139 of ), which is probably why only the worst contractors and construction companies out there are the kind that would ever sign up with HomeAdvisor. The overwhelming majority of contractors listed on HomeAdvisor, which I also know from extensive experience and research, do not have a license, are not registered, are not insured, but most HomeAdvisor contractors do have criminal records. From my own experience reviewing a few hundred contractor profiles listed on HomeAdvisor, well over 80% of the contractors on HomeAdvisor aren't licensed and many if not most have criminal records. On Google or Bing, by comparison, that number is probably between 5 to 10%. Simply, use common sense. HomeAdvisor is a middleman, a giant marketing corporation, a scam, nothing more. HomeAdvisor is a platform for the lowest quality contractors out there, usually guys with little or no experience, guys with meth teeth or guys that haven't showered in days operating out of some van or truck, some home burglars and crooks using the platform to find their next victims, and as so many reviews of HomeAdvisor state: HomeAdvisor is for the "bottom of the barrel" and "bottom feeder" type of contractors - i.e., the worst of the worst contractors in your area. HomeAdvisor claims to be free, but is not and charges approximately on average 10 contractors $60 each for every 1 lead ($600 per every lead) plus the $300+ annual membership fee. HomeAdvisor claims they sell each lead (a homeowner's information) to only 3 contractors, but from countless bad reviews, complaints, and even undercover investigations by, for example, law firms, we know that to be false too and they actually sell each lead to as many as 10 even 50 contractors. HomeAdvisor's advertising slogan is "Don't Overpay," but the very lead generation model means you'll pay extra for going through such a middleman. HomeAdvisor is also known to not only sell your information as a middleman to contractors who you should've gone directly to, but also to telemarketers. Many bad reviews from homeowners that fell for HomeAdvisor complain of suddenly being on telemarketing lists for various scams. HomeAdvisor are well-known and documented to write fake reviews, including countless fake positive reviews of their own company, HomeAdvisor. HomeAdvisor has also been exposed generating fake leads and/or recycling old leads several times by homeowners and undercover detectives. Also, once HomeAdvisor has your credit card information, they'll drain your bank accounts with countless fraudulent mini charges in the hopes you won't notice those charges and you'll have to then close the card or spend a lot of time disputing the charges with the bank.<br />
<br />
HomeAdvisor has thousands of telemarketers working for them and each of those telemarketers makes, by there own admission, 200 calls a day so that is literally about 600,000 people in this country every day that are getting harassed by cold calls from these telemarketing and robocalling scammers at HomeAdvisor. If HomeAdvisor were shut down, that is 600,000 telemarketing calls that would be eliminated every day.HomeAdvisor bombards cable television with fancy commercials full of lies, they bombard your phones with telemarketing calls, and they bombard the internet with fake advertisements and fake websites. HomeAdvisor is a major scam effecting people all over the country right now like those IRS scam calls. Also while on the topic, avoid using any of these lead generation middlemen companies like MeetMattServices, Thumbtack, Porch, HomeAdvisor, etc. That's all they are, they are just middleman giant marketing corporations that take a huge cut for adding absolutely no value and that huge cut eventually gets passed down to the customers. Don't ever do business with HomeAdvisor in any way and don't fall for their marketing and television commercials. HomeAdvisor is by far the worst place on the entire internet you can go to to find a contractor as the overwhelming majority of contractors or pretend contractors that HomeAdvisor has signed up on its platform are not licensed, not registered, not insured, and most of the contractors on HomeAdvisor even have criminal records. Simply never ever provide any information to HomeAdvisor and practice common sense when searching for a contractor.<br />
<br />
HomeAdvisor is paying a lot of dirty money to keep getting away with this, including to Eric Schmidt, the CEO of Google, and Richard Kirkendall, the CEO of Namecheap. It's a lot of corruption that allows these scammers to carry on. They say to try mailing Brandon Ridenour, the CEO of HomeAdvisor, at 211 S Cherry St, Denver, CO 80246. No response. They say to try calling and mailing Matt Zurcher, the Senior Vice President at HomeAdvisor, at (303) 694-4472, (303) 841-2818, (303) 282-7317 and 6661 N Village Rd, Parker, CO 80134. No response. They say to try mailing Barry Diller, the Chairman of IAC and HomeAdvisor, at 1940 Coldwater Canyon Dr, Beverly Hills, CA 90210. No response. They say to try calling and mailing Tyler Horvath, the owner of Projectquote LLC, at (913) 961-8446 and 6005 W 128th St, Overland Park, KS 66209, 5601 W 136th Terrace #105, Overland Park, KS 66224, and 14317 Manor Ct, Overland Park, KS 66224. No response. Brandon Ridenour of Denver, CO, the CEO of HomeAdvisor; Matt Zurcher, the Senior Vice President at HomeAdvisor; Barry Diller, the Chairman of IAC and HomeAdvisor; Tyler Horvath of Overland Park, Kansas, the owner of Projectquote LLC; all the other executives at HomeAdvisor; and along all the other people who work or have worked at HomeAdvisor should all be locked up in prison for the rest of their lives for running these mega scams. Now every time somebody comes across and Googles these fake websites, HomeAdvisor's and Tyler Horvath's names will be shown and people will know the truth. HomeAdvisor is totally dishonest and deceitful and is nothing more than a despicable scam. Due diligence, people. Don't mindlessly fill-out a form you found on the internet, don't do any sort of business with HomeAdvisor, and practice common sense. It's time for many more class action lawsuits (https://chimicles[removed by editor]/class-action-filed-homeadvisor-iacinteractive/) against HomeAdvisor and lets rip HomeAdvisor to shreds. Confiscate all the money that HomeAdvisor has and setup a Victim Compensation Fund for all the small businesses and others that they've defrauded.<br />

Also, once HomeAdvisor has your credit card information, they'll drain your bank accounts with countless fraudulent mini charges in the hopes you won't notice those charges and you'll have to then close the card or spend a lot of time disputing the charges with the bank.<br />
<br />
HomeAdvisor has thousands of telemarketers working for them and each of those telemarketers makes, by there own admission, 200 calls a day so that is literally about 600,000 people in this country every day that are getting harassed by cold calls from these telemarketing and robocalling scammers at HomeAdvisor. If HomeAdvisor were shut down, that is 600,000 telemarketing calls that would be eliminated every day.HomeAdvisor bombards cable television with fancy commercials full of lies, they bombard your phones with telemarketing calls, and they bombard the internet with fake advertisements and fake websites. HomeAdvisor is a major scam effecting people all over the country right now like those IRS scam calls. Also while on the topic, avoid using any of these lead generation middlemen companies like MeetMattServices, Thumbtack, Porch, HomeAdvisor, etc. That's all they are, they are just middleman giant marketing corporations that take a huge cut for adding absolutely no value and that huge cut eventually gets passed down to the customers. Don't ever do business with HomeAdvisor in any way and don't fall for their marketing and television commercials. HomeAdvisor is by far the worst place on the entire internet you can go to to find a contractor as the overwhelming majority of contractors or pretend contractors that HomeAdvisor has signed up on its platform are not licensed, not registered, not insured, and most of the contractors on HomeAdvisor even have criminal records. Simply never ever provide any information to HomeAdvisor and practice common sense when searching for a contractor.<br />
<br />
HomeAdvisor is paying a lot of dirty money to keep getting away with this, including to Eric Schmidt, the CEO of Google, and Richard Kirkendall, the CEO of Namecheap.

<br />
Reading through HomeAdvisor's reviews, it seems very clear and common that HomeAdvisor are just scammers and credit card thieves trying to get a hold of your financial information to make fraudulent charges. Notice how all those scam websites are impersonating as local contractors don't even have a phone number, but just a generic contact form for their victims to fill out, and all have the same design and layout. They are copy-and-paste fake websites meant to steal and sell your information. Never provide any information to HomeAdvisor or those 26 fake websites. Especially, never give your Social Security number or credit card information to HomeAdvisor. A legitimate contractor's website would have a phone number, most likely a direct local area code phone number (avoid any phishing websites that have a generic 1-800 or 1-855 or 1-833 phone number), other contact information such as an address or an email address, and a license number. Don't fall for these 26 fake websites pretending to be contractors. When you see websites like these scam websites run by HomeAdvisor that only have a contact form, those are typical phishing scams and you should run and report them to the BBB and your Attorney General's office. HomeAdvisor is using horribly treacherous fraudulent practices and false advertising. Again, if you've been tricked by these fake websites or fake ads (or fake craigslist listings) that HomeAdvisor is running, run far away from HomeAdvisor and report them to the BBB and your Attorney General's office.<br />
<br />
Tyler Horvath of Overland Park, Kansas and Kansas City, Missouri is in charge of running these scam websites for HomeAdvisor. His full name is Tyler Benjamin Horvath, he was born on June 3, 1986, and he is a serial scammer. He lives in Overland Park, KS, which is just 1 minute away from the HomeAdvisor office in Lenexa, KS. These fake websites are registered through Namecheap and hosted by Leaseweb, which is very fitting because Namecheap, owned by Richard Kirkendall, and Leaseweb are precisely the register and hosting provider typically used by hackers, scammers, and various other cybercriminals. Not surprising that Namecheap and Leaseweb consistently refuse to help take down scammers, malware websites, and fake websites. Even the majority of employees/contractors at Namecheap are Russian criminals - just contact Namecheap support and you'll find they all have typical Russian names likes Valeri, Dimitri, Anton, Natasha, Oleg, etc, even though Richard Kirkendall, the CEO of Namecheap, claims he "has no Russian employees."<br />
<br />
HomeAdvisor is nothing more than false advertising. As this lawsuit filed and won by The People of the State of California v HomeAdvisor shows (https://sfdistrictattorney[removed by editor]/sites/default/files/HomeAdvisor%20et%20al%20Complaint_0.pdf), HomeAdvisor is lying about contractors on its platform being background checked. I know from my insider experience that HomeAdvisor for a fact does not background check their contractors. The judge issued an injunction banning HomeAdvisor from making any further claims about background-checking its contractors. Besides fake websites impersonating as local contractors and making false claims about background-checking contractors, HomeAdvisor engages in lots of other false advertising. HomeAdvisor has false ads on craigslist (https://www.abc15[removed by editor]/news/let-joe-know/are-craigslist-ads-really-from-homeadvisor). Once a contractor signs up with HomeAdvisor, HomeAdvisor hijacks that small business's online branding (as indicated on pages 136-139 of ), which is probably why only the worst contractors and construction companies out there are the kind that would ever sign up with HomeAdvisor. The overwhelming majority of contractors listed on HomeAdvisor, which I also know from extensive experience and research, do not have a license, are not registered, are not insured, but most HomeAdvisor contractors do have criminal records. From my own experience reviewing a few hundred contractor profiles listed on HomeAdvisor, well over 80% of the contractors on HomeAdvisor aren't licensed and many if not most have criminal records. On Google or Bing, by comparison, that number is probably between 5 to 10%. Simply, use common sense. HomeAdvisor is a middleman, a giant marketing corporation, a scam, nothing more. HomeAdvisor is a platform for the lowest quality contractors out there, usually guys with little or no experience, guys with meth teeth or guys that haven't showered in days operating out of some van or truck, some home burglars and crooks using the platform to find their next victims, and as so many reviews of HomeAdvisor state: HomeAdvisor is for the "bottom of the barrel" and "bottom feeder" type of contractors - i.e., the worst of the worst contractors in your area. HomeAdvisor claims to be free, but is not and charges approximately on average 10 contractors $60 each for every 1 lead ($600 per every lead) plus the $300+ annual membership fee. HomeAdvisor claims they sell each lead (a homeowner's information) to only 3 contractors, but from countless bad reviews, complaints, and even undercover investigations by, for example, law firms, we know that to be false too and they actually sell each lead to as many as 10 even 50 contractors. HomeAdvisor's advertising slogan is "Don't Overpay," but the very lead generation model means you'll pay extra for going through such a middleman. HomeAdvisor is also known to not only sell your information as a middleman to contractors who you should've gone directly to, but also to telemarketers. Many bad reviews from homeowners that fell for HomeAdvisor complain of suddenly being on telemarketing lists for various scams. HomeAdvisor are well-known and documented to write fake reviews, including countless fake positive reviews of their own company, HomeAdvisor. HomeAdvisor has also been exposed generating fake leads and/or recycling old leads several times by homeowners and undercover detectives. Also, once HomeAdvisor has your credit card information, they'll drain your bank accounts with countless fraudulent mini charges in the hopes you won't notice those charges and you'll have to then close the card or spend a lot of time disputing the charges with the bank.<br />
<br />
HomeAdvisor has thousands of telemarketers working for them and each of those telemarketers makes, by there own admission, 200 calls a day so that is literally about 600,000 people in this country every day that are getting harassed by cold calls from these telemarketing and robocalling scammers at HomeAdvisor. If HomeAdvisor were shut down, that is 600,000 telemarketing calls that would be eliminated every day.HomeAdvisor bombards cable television with fancy commercials full of lies, they bombard your phones with telemarketing calls, and they bombard the internet with fake advertisements and fake websites. HomeAdvisor is a major scam effecting people all over the country right now like those IRS scam calls. Also while on the topic, avoid using any of these lead generation middlemen companies like MeetMattServices, Thumbtack, Porch, HomeAdvisor, etc. That's all they are, they are just middleman giant marketing corporations that take a huge cut for adding absolutely no value and that huge cut eventually gets passed down to the customers. Don't ever do business with HomeAdvisor in any way and don't fall for their marketing and television commercials.
