“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,

I had a project and found a contractor and set up milestone payments etc. On the day I noticed that freelancer.com made 2 charges, one a full amount for the project, and the other a portion of the project amount (one of the milestone payment).

When I found that a double charge was made, I wrote to them and was told that the money will be refunded. In a week or so when I checked my PayPal account, the money was not returned, and since then nightmare began.

Since freelancer.com knows and acknowledged that a double charge was made, they could have simply returned the credit to my PayPal account, and this is what a "normal" person would expect from a "normal" business operation. Instead, freelancer.com has been coming up with all kind of B... S... not to returning the money. Worse yet, they are NOT even paying the contractor, although all milestones are met, and payment to contractor from the money that is already fully paid by me to them on the first day of project start, is simply amazing business practice I can not imagine. They are blaming that my account is locked (or "limited access") and blaming me and my dispute for asking for money back that they took illegally as the reason. How clever!

I am still fighting to get my money back that they should not have taken from me. I must say DO NOT GET NEAR THIS SITE/VENDOR. THEY ARE NO BETTER THAN CON OPERATION or SIMPLE THIEF.

P.S. When I tried to reach them, I was never able to talk to a "real" person. All communications are restricted to Message Board, and every time I communicate either a new person (I mean first name, which does not mean that it is a "real" person) or generic id.
