as someone mentioned in the blog comment, Fly Maids site is a complete copy (with redesigned homepage) of another cleaning service http://www.homeaglow.com/

@johnsalzarulo out of curiosity, try if your login works on homeaglow.com

f.e.: both logos are served from the same S3 bucket: https://s3q1w2e3.s3.amazonaws.com/brands/logos/fly_maids.png https://s3q1w2e3.s3.amazonaws.com/brands/logos/homeaglow.png

When I entered my email into homeaglow it didn't work. It said I had the wrong password. BUT when I entered in the password reset box I got a password reset email from support@flymaids.com. They are unmistakably connected somehow.

Perhaps homeaglow is just a prelaunch version of flymaids? Line maybe they were creating the brand around homeaglow, then switched at some point to flymaids and just never wound down the first site?
