The Federal Trade Commission announced that it reached a settlement
with HomeAdvisor, resolving allegations that the company used
deceptive and misleading tactics to sell home improvement project
leads to service providers. As part of the settlement, the company --
which is affiliated with Angi (formerly known as "Angie’s List") --
agreed to pay up to $7.2 million.

By bringing this action, the FTC is signaling that it intends to use
its resources not only to protect individual consumers, but also small
businesses, including those operating in the gig economy. This action
follows up the FTC's Policy Statement on Enforcement Related to Gig
Work, which was issued late last year. In announcing the action,
Samuel Levine, the Director of the FTC's Bureau of Consumer
Protection, said, “Even as the nature of work and the economy change,
the FTC will continue to combat dishonest commercial practices aimed
at consumers, workers, and small businesses.”
