When we need to find a restaurant or a hair salon, we look at Yelp to see what other people say. The problem with this is Yelp reviews can be faked. In fact, they often are. So looking for contractors on Yelp can lead to hiring someone who is woefully underprepared, and you may not get the best results.
With Angi, only real customers who have interacted with the pros you’re considering are eligible to leave a review. You’ll find real reviews of professionals from other people like you — not bots or fakes. That means you can be confident in your choice.
You can Google anything, right? Scammers know this and exploit it. One tactic really works to fool you if you’re looking for someone to, say, fix your plumbing or give you a quote for landscaping. The scammer creates an ad posing as a professional. He or she then patiently gains your trust before they steal your money.
