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
November 27, 2025

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.

Fixed the issue in 1-chat
November 26, 2025

Excellent customer support. I was struggling with some repeated issue with my posting (project) and in communicating with the freelancer. I had logged a ticket earlier with another support agent but didn't solve this issue and i wasted weeks on this.

This person solved my issues in just 5min. So much helpful!
