“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,

Freelancer.com simply refusing to refund project fees for an abandoned project. I was charged USD 311.08 as project fees for a project. Then client released 850 GBP as milestones. But after that client abandoned the project after filing a dispute. Now I am asking freelancer.com support staffs to refund me USD 241.73 as the project fees should now be calculated on milestones released, not on project amount as the project is now abandoned. But they all reply with me same old logic that they don't refund any project fees. And I did worked for this client earlier and got very good reviews from him. So its not a introduction fees any more, its project commission. We already knew each other very well. But freelancer.com support staffs don't understand this and keeps replying me same old statements. I am quite frustrated with this.

So if you accept a project and paid project fees. But after that client does not want to proceed for whatever reason, freelancer won't refund you! This is really surprising and surely not a fair practice. I am also surprised that they don't have any such clause in their TOS.

Further update on 27th March, 2015
Freelancer didn't refund me any fees as I mentioned above based on logic that I might have given project files to the client and I just checked with the client he is still unable to find suitable developer. The whole dispute was wrong, client didn't like the design later and started dispute, although he approved the design initially. He delayed the whole delivery because he didn't like the design later on and he can take me to dispute. I told repeatedly about those issues with client to Freelancer, but they never heed to it. So you can never expect fair dealing from freelancer.

I am fairly new to this website and am already considering never using it again. I have used the website a few times with success but have twice had problems with the freelancers I have hired off the website. This last one though just did it for me. I need some SEO work done on my website. Instead of opening a project for bidding, I looked around for a freelancers by checking their feedback. I finally decided on one and contacted them ( seoleader1). According to their feedback, everyone raves about how they got good work done and how easy it was to work with this freelancer. He accepted the project right away after agreeing on the terms. He then told me that I need to release a milestone (pay him) before he even starts the job because everybody else that he as worked for had always done it. I was hesitant but finally said fine and went ahead and did it. Little did I know that as soon as you release a milestone, the project is marked as completed. I was concerned but he reassured me that I can trust him to get the work done and his feedback is proof. He then asked me to leave him feedback, that after a project is completed, I only have 5 days to leave feedback, that if we left good feedback for each other, we both would benefit with good reviews on our accounts. That is when i really started getting concerned and said absolutely no way I would leave feedback. I asked when he would be done and he said it would take 3wks. Just before 3wks was up, I contacted the guy to ask how my project was going and he told me that everything was ok and on schedule. A few days after the three week deadline, I contacted him again, he didn't respond for a couple days until after I threatened to contact freelancer. To cut it short. I contacted freelancer to try and get a resolution and all they told me was that its my fault that I released the milestone and there was nothing they could do. Even with evidence that this guy is a scam. Not sure what I will do to get my refund, I guess I am out $80. Be aware of this freelancer if you use that freelancer.com ( seoleader1). Total scam.

Hello Morris, I can imagine how you've felt when you have not gotten any word from the freelancer you've hired; and I'd probably feel the same way as you did. My name is Marcus, I'm from Freelancer.com and I'm here to assist you. Send me an email to marcusc@freelancer.com along with your username and project ID so that I can conduct a thorough review of what has happened with your transaction with seoleader1. Thank you and I really hope to hear from you soon.
