Complaint Review: Home Advisor

Well I'm pissed. I've used Home Advisor in the past and have had the consistent experience that they just crap out results that almost never match the project you are using. I've never been able to use any of their recommendations, so I've gladly stopped using their service. Today I was looking for sprinkler blowouts and clicked on one of my Google results. It happened to be Home Advisor. And they were recommending plumbers.

I instantly hit the back button, after about 4 seconds on their site. I instantly get several emails from them, thanking me for using them in my plumbing search. I unsubscribe AGAIN, hoping it will finally be the end of my contact with this horrible company. INSTANTLY I get an email from 'homeyou' saying, "Hi (removed),Thank you for your request for Plumbing Work in (removed).

Our trusted partner HomeAdvisor will match you with top local pros for your project. By using this service, you are bound to HomeAdvisor T&C's and Privacy Policy.Thank you for using our service,
The homeyou team"

How does unsubscribing from a company give them permission to start harassing you from their "trusted partner" site? Then I start getting phone calls and messages from Home Advisor. I call them back and tell them if they contact me again, I'm going to report them for fraud. I block the number.

Then I start receiving all these calls and emails from local plumbers THAT I DID NOT GIVE PERMISSION TO HAVE MY CONTACT INFORMATION AND NEVER EVEN REQUESTED!!! What on Earth happened to privacy of information and ethical conduct? 

Someone please get this company, and all of its subsidiaries, to stop harassing me!
