“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 am on Freelancer for last 8 years with an excellent reputation (197 reviews with 5 out of 5) You can see my profile and client feedback here: http://www.freelancer.com/u/ambar.html Recently, I noticed freelancer just reversed a payment made by one of my employer and that also $550 without even notifying me. When I inquired they told me my buyer has reversed the amount. When I contacted buyer here is what he said:
"This was a freelancer mistake that I have raised 3 weeks ago. I was trying to pay with my usual paypal and but they have charged my credit card which was never deposited into my account on freelancer.
Don't know why they contacted you, it was their mistake." When informed freelancer about it they said they as per terms, I am not supposed to get my money back until buyer refunds and they did not even pay me back their fees that they have taken. They say they wont contest the chargeback even. So, apparently, you dont have any security on freelancer They would pay you for your hardwork and then they would take money back for their own issues and they would not even return the fees. So, at the end, you pay for your client's work plus freelancer fees and waste a lot of your time as well. Be aware of this and they dont really care if you have been cheated as long as they are able to recover their money from you. So, they hardly care about you.

Freelancer, I really liked the site until this point and it has been my only source of income and till now. Freelancer.com was really good in the beginning but losing the essence now. Please guys, give the seller protection a serious thought and do fight chargebacks. I still love freelancer.com and want it to improve.

My experience is beyond surreal, I hired a freelance, made a milestone verified my identity and done all required. They charged my card right away with not problems.
When time came for them to release the money to the freelance after he accomplished his task, they started finding excuses to not do so, they started asking me to upload again the identity verification picture, and did it 3 times, they after 10 days they accepted the identity verification and then they restricted my account, after 3 days they asked to justify a discrepancy between two cards I uploaded, the cards had no discrepancies, were both in my name, and with the same addess as in my ID card and on the same account also on my name and with the same address, one debit and one credit card. The freelance completed his job 10 days ago and I release the milestone since then but only when it was time to give the money they came up wth all the funds origine scruples, they had not scruples about frauds when it was time for them to charge the card.

They are the only fraud here around.

If you are a Freelance better stay away cause you will never know when you will be getting your hardly earned money.
If you are hiring somebody, you use a freelance because your time is required somewhere else, your time worth more than spending hours trying to get to solve the problem of the freelance not get paid. Actually I could have done the work myself with al the time I spent dealing with Freelancer's verification BS.

Last but not least their card verification system, despite the fact they ask you your currency they charge the card in a different currency so they ca charge a 17.19 dollars (in my case) for currency conversion even in a 0.52 dollars verification charge, obviously they forgot to mention that either and also they did the same even though they already added that same fee in the basic receipt so actually charge twice for the same service.

Never again will work with them

Tip for consumers:
Search for a freelance somewhere else

Products used:
They are just a portal that connects freelances to hiring people
