“A Seamless and Professional Verification”

Arun M.
12/20/24

I recently went through the freelancer verification process, and I must say, it was a smooth and professional experience. The team was prompt, courteous, and supportive throughout the entire process. They asked insightful questions that allowed me to showcase my skills and experience effectively. Their attention to detail and understanding of my work background made the process feel fair and transparent. I appreciate the opportunity to be verified and look forward to leveraging this for more professional growth. Highly recommend their service to other freelancers!

“The Lady that wanted to do the job for me.”

Hanne S.
11/28/24

She was nice at first but began becoming pushy as it went on."Hurry up" didn't want to talk about maybe lowering her price. So I let it go.! So she wanted to know everything we wanted on the site, and while we were sending her what we wanted right in the middle of the conversation, she blocked us after we had given her everything to work with. Very disappointed because I liked her but she was a bit pushy,

Sad to hear that they not only still exist, but haven't gotten any better.

We had a project running there (iOS app), which looked fine at the beginning as the developer sent a video as proof of his work, we paid the first milestone.

Since we never received the finished project we didn't pay the rest of the money (sounds logical).

We wanted to use the money already in our account to pay a second developer we hired, which freelancer didn't do, because they needed additional account information. After completing the informatinos they wanted nothing happened, excpet that they were threatening us to close our account.

Sending emails and support tickets did not change anything, they wanted us to grant them permission to pay the first job (which still is unfinished). We lost approx. US$ 800.- there, our account doesn't exist anymore.

They closed the case we opened, we had to remind them many time that the dispute is not solved.

A few investigations showed that several people use freelance.com to systematically rip off people that offer them work.
The way that freelancer.com functions perfectly protects fraudsters of any kind, once you got money in an account there you will never ever get it back.

What they do and how they do it is illegal in our country.

The purpose of a site like freelance is to protect people who make business using their site, but as it looks they only care about the money that flows through their site, and giving their best to restrict withdrawals.

In generally we don't work anymore with freelancer sites, we hire freelancers directly after having talked to them on skype and after having them finished a little project (something stupidly simple like a "hello world" without any value or use). Every serious developer is more than willing to invest 30 mins in order to get a job that pays well.

Stay far away from freelance.com, roasting marshmellows over burning dollar bills is much less frustrating.
