At first, I wanted to think "Gosh, all these bad reviews must just be malicious or some kind of smear campaign by freelancer.com's competitors because it seems as if this is a very reputable and "together" site"... I was wrong. Behind those pretty graphics and constant "opportunities" flashing on the screen is an undeniably sketchy operation that if we look in Websters, we will find that freelancer.com fits the bill as a scam.

Their Customer Service is absolutely the worst and my first go around with them, I thought perhaps I was going insane. As far as money and time invested into this site versus a return? I have lost thousands of dollars (I can easily prove this by averaging the amount of money that I made via other routes as a freelancer and not through freelancer.com). Between the gamification that never works correctly to the nearly 90% of jobs I bid on actually expiring because the creators of the jobs just left them hanging (and I have bid on well close to 50-60 jobs and submitted proposals with said bids) to the fact that their marketing is geared toward constantly making you spend money to "highlight your bid" or "take yet another test to move ahead"... it's absolutely sad and I regret every cent and bit of time that I spent with freelancer.com. If 90% of the bids I had just simply expired yet I spent all this time highlighting and taking tests to win them and answering questions of the job owner before they left running. This means I was coaxed to spend more and more money by the website with repeatedly getting no return. While making money and thriving as a freelancer through other means and websites so I know its not my ability or presentation... and if I google freelancer.com, nothing but terrible reviews come up for them... well. I don't know about those of you reading this but I'm going to have to go with SCAM! Feel free to email me at *******@mikejdavis.info if you need any further proof.
