This company is a complete scam.
Once you sign up, forget about talking to anyone. No one answers the phone. When you call your phone number is routed to your rep regardless of what number you call. (you could try another phone number I guess, if you have time for that) And of course forget about a call back.

Towards the end of your dismal contract, a different kinder, more understanding crook will call to try to smooth out the mood due to lack of, and useless leads because of miscategorization of your service, and offer you a discount for the remainder of the contract. Even if you tell the rep that you are not going to renew. Why?, because they set up the new discounted price as another annual contract without consent.

I had no choice but to cancel my credit card because I read elsewhere that Homestar's will continue to attempt to debit your account even after the contract has run its course. And sure enough, they did! (try that is)

I could go on, but I hope you get the point. Work on your own SEO, forget these clowns.

Keep your money. I have dealt with quite a few (about 10) different sellers on this platform over the years. I was always thinking to save money, and help some less fortunate people out at the same time. I had faith and kept looking for a seller with an ounce of decency. They are no where to be found. The sellers will try to rip you off at the drop of a hat.

The very worst scenario is a project with payment milestones. Once a seller has received some payment, they now own you. They will try to get you off the platform, ask to send money directly to their bank... Stop working, delay after delay... have you believe they will continue,... etc... etc... Finally they will need more money to continue... "ALL" the sellers will act as though they care, and they are good people... DON'T BUY IT. Every seller I have had the displeasure of dealing with, are scammers.

The company (Fiverr) have told me that sellers will get banned for violations etc... Total B.S... Sellers can open new accounts so easily in other peoples names, emails, addresses, bank accounts etc...

Now with all of this being said, my projects have been copywriting and web related projects. So I can not comment other industry participants. But regarding my projects, I found Bangladesh and Pakistan sellers to be the worst, and Indian and African sellers not far behind... People from these countries prey on western people.

Hire local... Know who you are dealing with! In the long run you will save money and be much safer.

Good Luck!

Without posting a lengthy boring review, all you have to know is this company can not be trusted. If you change your mind and want to cancel, even within thier own protocols, they will delay until delivery. Then the will bribe you to keep it... unbelievable. And don't use PayPal to process it becasue you have no recourse. Youe use credit card instead.

If you have an issue with a seller, PayPay doesn't care. They will side with the seller at all costs.

So just remember you're on your own if you have an issue. If you use a credit card, and you have adhered to the seller's guidelines, you can successfully dispute. This to me is very important
