Thumbtack Lying to Small Business Owners and Cyber Squatting
Watch the video for evidence and a visual of how Thumbtack lies to small business owners and is cyber squatting after small business owners do all the work (then Thumbtack steps in and steal the space online to promote themselves and their ads): youtube.com/watch?v=Q8b6anFo824

Thumbtack sold business owners domains years ago promoting they can "have your your own domain for YOUR BUSINESS," but about 2 to 3 years into the domain ownership Thumbtack was collecting $10 annually from business owners, some corrupt Thumbtack company executive got the ungodly idea to remove business owner's images and information from the top of their domains they had purchased to promote their single company's services and Thumbtack began to promote itself on the business owner's domain and page AND simultaneously promote the business owner's competitors (until I said something to Thumbtack about it and threatened Thumbtack with a class-action lawsuit).
Thumbtack nevertheless continues cyber-squatting on domains sold business owners because Thumbtack continues to promote its company (NOT the business owners' company) because the first thing visitors see when they visit the domain - mine being www.NY-life-coach.com - is no longer my image and business information (as in the beginning and first 2 years), but now it shows Thumbtack's cyber-squatting maneuver and banner across the top of MY DOMAIN (I bought and paid for, promoted, advertised, work hard to get friends, clients, previous customers to endorse, visit and rack up over 100 points on Thumbtack's site). I have 4,000 videos on YouTube and Goodreads combined many of which have a link to www.NY-life-coach.com thereon that I now am having to remove and gradually redirect to www.Linkedin.com/in/worldproperties because of Thumbtack's unethical business practices, false advertising, stealing domains, money, time, opportunity cost, and resources from business owners to promote it's website and company.
Such is ungodly, unethical and should not be tolerated in the marketplace. Please Retweet the following below which I sent today to the US Patent Trademark Association, ICANN regulating cyber law and prosecuting white collar crime, and the FTC.

As a web designer, internet marketer, content marketer, global business consultant, worldwide minister and motivational speaker who has touched 70 countries and authored and published 20 books we must stand together business owners and not tolerate unethical behavior, nor bait and switch practices by companies like Thumbtack stealing our time, network, connections, resources and then redirecting domains and pages we create to themselves to sell their services and then steal our business leads to only allow consumers to submit bids through Thumbtack and thereby access competitors when they found OUR DOMAIN, THROUGH OUR PROMOTIONS, OUR ADVERTISING WORK, AND OUR EFFORTS, BLOOD, SWEAT AND TEARS not Thumbtack's seeking to steal and cyber-squatting on our backs!
