9. I think Angies List likes to play games

This is weird - I Googled "mortgage auditing solutions"
and found several hits, including an Angies List one:

http://www.angieslist.com/companylist/us/ca/laguna-hills/mortgage-auditing-solutions-reviews-7440657.htm

But it shows no ratings info for it -- well there are little lock icons indicating you have to be a member to see the ratings; and a big JOIN NOW button. So I sign in (I'm a member). After signing in, it takes me to some default page. When I try to return to the above mortgage auditing solutions page, I see the same thing as before -- locked icons on the ratings, and a big "Join Now" - the same as I saw before. If I search inside Angies List (while signed in) for mortgage auditing solutions, I get no hits.

I emailed Angies List about the above but got no response.

I've tried numerous different things on the web site numerous different times, but can't break through. I suspect the fuckheads don't have anything on them but it's a way to lure people who are doing a Google search to join Angies List.

By the way, Mortgage Auditing Solutions has an "F" rating, per the Better Business Bureau, and the limited experience of a friend who dealt with them until they started sending requests for money before doing further work.

Back to Angies List -- it also pisses me off when I see other magazine articles (PC World, Consumer Reports to name a couple) mention Angies List and that it is $29/year. I'm paying more than $70. I suspect Angies List isn't being honest with them - that the $29 is a short-time promotional rate.
