> Plumber pays helphive $99 a year

Please show me where this is mentioned. In the link that you submitted the plumber claims (in the comments): "These local business listings are not placed there by the business but have been harvested from other sources."

So:

- HelpHive listed plumber's company with falsified information

- Plumber didn't request the listing or authorize the 'proxy' phone number.

- Plumber has no recourse to 'turn off' the feature.

How is this ethical again?
