“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,

Hello,

I've been working as a freelancer since 2011, and the first website I've used was VWorker (that was bought by Freelancer). VWorker was like 1000 times better. They would take care of their users by holding the money until the job was done, and if the freelancer delivered, and the employer was happy, the money was released.
But with Freelancer, that's another story. You don't have any kind of security that you will get paid for your job. I did a small project for 100$. Freelacer withdraw from my balance 25$, because I've accepted the project. I did the job, deliver it, but the employer did not paid me. In fact he just ignored me. I've tried to talk with someone from Freelancer, because I don't think it was normal for me to pay the acceptance fee, for a project I was not paid for. But nothing!

So bottom line is that I've PAID 254 do work for free!
Also, they have a habbit of withdrawing money from your paypal balance, and if you don't have money in your paypal balance, they will charge your credit card that is linked to your paypal accout, so you might want to cancel your Preapproved payments to Freelancer from your paypal account.

Later Edit: here is the username of the employer that scamed me: FoxScully

Hi,

I was working on a project at freelancer.com, i was awarded a project by an employer, i before accepting the project saw the employer's profile and each and everything on his account was verified not a single thing was not left unverified on his account, so what next i accepted the project after he created full milestone on the site, amount was $200, so i worked for 7 days on the project everything moved smoothly and then the employer closed the project and released the money to me. I withdrew the money from my account to bank account. I got my money in my hand. The problem started after 7 days after withdrawing the amount, when i logged in my account i was surprised to see my account as limited, wrote atleast 10 mails to support, three mail where replied with lame and stupid replies like we understand your problem etc etc, after that verification team asked docs for verification i gave and got verified for 4 days this verification continued, then today when i logged in and saw another surprise, my funds showed -$180 ( $20 was project fee that i was refunded, total project was of $200), on seeing dashboard i see that project got deleted, how does that matter if a completed project is deleted? How can a person with sense and brain charge money for the project that was deleted after it was completed and whose payment was completed. I am a serious and professional programmer, cannot accept this foolishness. If you people look at my problem it is a total scam website, even if the project is deleted for some problem in employer then freelancer.com should bear the charges because i accepted the project from a 100% verified employer, guys do not waste on this scam website, i faced many other issues on this website that i did not mention here, so i will say that freelancer will have to bear all the charges of any mistake of employer or site administrator.
