Exceptional Support from Margaux!
December 9, 2025

I cannot thank Margaux from the support team enough. I was facing issues with my withdrawal OTP and identity verification, and she resolved everything incredibly quickly. What really impressed me was that she didn't stop there—she even helped me secure a review from my client. Margaux turned a stressful situation into a great experience. She is a true asset to the Freelancer.com team!

Unexpected Fees and Poor Support Experience with Freelancer Artwork Services

Review:
I hired Freelancer to create 5 maps and 3 book covers, and we agreed on a fixed price of $2,000 USD. I paid this amount using a US VISA card. After the payment went through, I discovered that the platform converted the money into Canadian dollars and applied what amounted to an additional ~$0.08 per USD in conversion fees, even though the contract was clearly priced in USD.

On top of that, there were several other processing and transaction fees that I was not notified about before payment. I only learned about these charges after checking my transaction history.

When I contacted support to ask why a fixed-price USD contract resulted in unexpected currency conversions and extra fees, the representative I spoke with was unhelpful and dismissive. I left the interaction feeling that these additional costs were considered normal practice by the company.

While other users may have different experiences, my own experience was that the actual cost ended up significantly higher than the agreed-upon contract, and the lack of transparency around fees was disappointing. I hope this review helps others make an informed decision before committing to a project.

The entire Verify process for Freelancer has been impressive. It's great that we still involve people in this process, rather than relying on machines/LLMs.

I'm completely happy with the interview process which I completed *******@KielleVerified was a consummate professional and the experience was positive

Not helpful and scammed me
December 1, 2025

The popup for verified freelancers wrote verify for 0€ and upon clicking I got charged 90€. When I contacted support they simply said it is non refundable. This is unacceptable as it is a fault of the platform for now showing the price from the beginning

Scam Report

I'm new to the Platform and as such I made a rookie mistake. I almost fell into a scam but thankfully I could spot the red flag. The FL staff were very helpful with my report. Margaux was very kind and prompt in her response.
