The FTC and New York’s attorney general have accused Handy, the gig app customers can use to book cleaners, handymen, and more, of making deceptive claims about how much workers could earn through its platform.
In a complaint filed on Tuesday in the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of New York, the FTC and NY attorney general alleged that Handy, which is owned by Angi (formerly Angie’s List), advertised earnings that “don’t reflect the reality for the overwhelming majority of workers on the platform.” Handy also failed to clearly disclose fees and fines, the complaint alleged, leading to millions of dollars being withheld from workers.
