As a vfx artist, I rarely get exposed to scams or scam-like environments. I recently browsed freelancers.com to answer job ads. It works similar to Upworks, however it has a "craigslist vibe ". Meaning, you need to weed thru the scam artists that troll & monitor the site.

The other day I went on and left my page up for an hour. When I returned, I had 6 messages all offering me jobs. I wasn't paying close attention at first, so I clicked "Accept". I then noticed that ALL offerings were from 2 *******@snowgallery &@southgallery. When they sent me the job description, they gave a typical scam-like job. (I won't bore you with details) I then noticed a $-60.00 in commissions in my account on Freelancers.(They didn't take any money from me, however, its listed as "what I owe")

I have not hear back from Freelancers yet, but when I looked up the scam account so I can have a nice chat with him, :), freelancers closed the account and removed the $-60. Commissions.

So Newbies BEWARE of this site. Although it has honest people just wanting to have work done & provide services, you need to wade thru the scammers.
For me, it's not worth my time to deal with crap like this.

I welcome disputes about my finding.

What a service:-D:-D:-D

1. The site is very noob developed ( if u log out) site still shows u are logged in
2. This site switches random languages:-D
3. If you complain about something, you will get automated response ( then deleted my account) its easier to delete account then solve a problem
4. Pages are not loading properly and shows "old informations"
5. I can continue atleast to number 25, but I am not going to waste my time here

I was complaining about user "jasonluer", I was trying to get simple task from him, translate few excel files into czech language. He wrote me in chat and even before I could respond to him, he blocked the chat. I was complaining about this with support ticket and my account was deleted.

You can read in reviews, people scam other people on this site and nothing happens. I am so happy, that I didnt put any credit card information while registration, instead used paypal account.
