“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 used Freelancer.com for the first time a couple of days ago and yesterday I selected a freelancer. (On the day of registration Freelancer took a $10 deposit from me).

The successful bid was $100 and the milestone was $100, so basically the freelancer wanted the full amount upfront.

When I paid the milestone their system took *two* payments: one for $97.54 and the other for $102.66. I was logged into my email account at the time and got Paypal email alerts within seconds of making the milestone payment showing these two sums.

I was completely shocked – I was flabbergasted that they took money automatically from my Paypal account (I soon read on the internet that Freelancer take money without notifying people by email that they have supposedly signed them up for "pre-approved" billing).

This would not have mattered so much *if* their system had not taken two payments.

I read on the internet of someone else this has happened to: their payment was duplicated *and* support tried to tell them they must have done something wrong their end. That's what happened to me. I know I definitely didn't press anything twice.

http://www.complaintsboard.com/complaints/wingz-florida-c*******.html

I got on to support and after alleging wrong doing my end, they basically tried to tell me that the money would be a credit on my account. At that point I admit I started swearing as they said they could not tell me if or when I'd be refunded!

I have now contacted Paypal's fraud department and they said they will investigate. I have sent them a few links and intend to put my case on as many warning sites as possible to alert people to this scam company until they refund me.

I managed to get the telephone number of their UK Manager (I'm based in the UK) he was said he'll look into this for me. I wait and see with interest.

I would advise you to contact Paypal's Fraud department if you too were signed up to pre-approved payments without your knowledge.

PS - They have now emailed me now and asked me to drop the Paypal dispute so that they can refund me. DO NOT FALL FOR THIS TRAP. I have read on other forums that members did this NEVER saw their money again, because once you drop a Paypal dispute, you cannot reinstate it. Plus they are not being truthful; Paypal can refund you, if the vendor directs them to, without you dropping the case
