    Does anyone use this site to get business? I've obviously got onto their radar recently and am inundated with emails from them with leads for customers. It seemed too good to be true, then they explained that I had to pay them a fee for each referral with obviously no guarantee that a job would follow. I don't actually have an issue with that if it's genuine and there will be some work from it, I wouldn't expect to win every job

    I’ve been using leads from Bark for one of my businesses for about a year. Like you, at first I was sceptical but most are kosher.

    It is expensive to buy the credits and you’ll probably convert about one in four so make sure it’s still profitable to do the job, especially if it’s a one-off.

    Also be careful when you do buy credits, a pop-up window appears asking you to buy more credits at a discount. I’ve clicked yes by mistake a couple of times. It’s easy to get a refund but still a pain.

    My biggest problem with the leads is not knowing exactly where they are. Leads that say Dublin are just a waste for me. I’ve asked them to try and get street names off prospects but so far, no progress.
