I requested for withdrawal of $48 but after two days the withdrawal status was insufficient account. So i cancelled the withdrawal but instead of credit of $48, now the website is showing me balalce of -$43. They unnecessarily charged me $91 and debited my $48 and again showing insufficient balance of $43. I have attached the screenshot of the transactions. I never get such entry of reversal of project. This website stole my money of 2 projects.

I hate this site. They are cheaters.

Hi there,

I have been working on site and it was all good. One of client charge back 649 euro and my account balance become negative. From last week i receive no response.

Freelancer.com saying: Please deposit funds make account balance positive. They stopped my bidding. I cannot place bid on jobs.

What is my plan, open bidding so i can bid on jobs and earn so balance can be settle. From last week i have never heard from help. Please resolve issue ASAP and lift restriction from account of bidding so i can work and resolve account *******@Lara, already send you email check ticket for yourself SCK-721-******* and other ticket on site JZM-186-*******.

Waiting for it to be resolve ASAP so i can get started.

Thanks.

Although there are legitimate projects on Freelancer, the site does it's best to exact bogus fees from Freelancer. In fact it even runs an algorithm with a fake company called Faithartistry in order to trick new freelancers. You are offered a $600 job from Faithartistry.com. If you accept you find out the company does not exist, but Freelancer still exacts its $60 fee without a refund (unlike sites like Upwork which have built in protections against fraud). I was contacted by this algorithm twice, exact same messages, and even sent a text message telling me I had been awarded the job. Freelancer benefits by scamming unsuspecting clients, and I caught them in the act. Beware.

I've finished job with fixed price, but employer just deleted the project and closed his account without paying single $. I was charged for project fee. I did screenshots of the project before it was deleted, but support is silent. This site has definitely worst payment system. Basically you can create account, deposit, create a project, get what you want and pay nothing. Just cancel deposit, delete the project and close your account. I wonder why it's still working.

You can't trust anyone on this site even though Freelancer.com claims that they do verification checks. Even the employers on there are scammers. I completed a job and as soon as it was finished and time for me to receive payment, the employer was ghost.

Garbage.

UPDATE 4. 29. 16**************
It gets worse if you contact customer support! I really think no one there has any clue what they're really doing; random different people will e-mail you asking for the same information even though you've already sent it. They even have a random worker on Site Jabber.

This is why scammers use Freelancer.com. They know that if you go to customer support you'll get the runaround and they'll just go on their merry way and look for the next chump to steal from.

JUST SAY, "HELL NO" and trust the reviews. Freelancer.com is really as terrible as everyone says it is.

I am new in this site, but I didn't know that their site just have a free trials and after that they get money to my PayPal and credit card account just to force me pay their membership plan. I didn't click any membership plan. I was shock! When I check my money online, it was decrease. I am asking for refund and ask my PayPal account to dispute them so that PayPal will review it. Freelancer.com replied to me and ask me to close the dispute so that they can refund me but I am asking then to refund my money first before I close the dispute and resolve the problem.

Until now, I am waiting for my money to refund. Please refund my money.

Freelancer.com seems to be a great idea but the way the system works might mislead people. The portal claims it is safe and offers money back guarantee, but is not true and the customer service really ignores people, they take several days to reply through a ticket base system, always with evasive answers that just protect their abusive policies, and the phone never answers.

Freelancer allows the possibility to offer services all over the world, as well as customers to receive service outside their country boundaries, they just forgot to follow other countries laws and guidelines. Such company claims to be the market leader should not mislead and ignore customers this way, and I am pretty sure America is no longer accepting this kind of treatment anymore.

On March 6th I created a NON-GUARANTEED contest (ID *******). I received only 7 entries out of which 4 were stolen templates and 3 did not match even the basic requirements. As it was a non-guaranteed contest, I asked for a cancellation and refund on March 20th (#KJE-158-*******).

They did not fullfill this request for over a month (fully legit request according to T&C). On April 15th someone replied: "However, user needs to request for refund while the contest is still open or within 30 days after the contest has ended. Hence, we cannot grant your refund request."

I created the request after 14 days, well before the needed 30 days. Yet they still charged me and stole my money. Now they blocked my account and refuse to communicate.

The amount is now disputed on Paypal (PP-004-755-610-052) as well until you fullfill your part of the agreement according to your T&C.

I made a mistake because of their company put a different developer than the one i was going to pay, their second stage of payment showed a different developer and I have asked them to give me the money back as it was a mistake (by their site) and they first said I will get the money back in 4 days. No, it didn't happened, they send me a note after me asking them ******* of times to give me the money back that they will close the ticket if I don't reply.
My replies are there right on top of them and they just lazy, idiotic and thiefs keeping my money, charging me for fees and they never tell you. More fees that will appear taking your money from the account, and they make it very difficult for you to get you money back to your original payment method.

DO not recommend this company, they are idiots and thiefs!

freelancer.com lie to buyers and customers
That the contest (you have to
Prepaid to hold contest) will
Get 30 works from contestants.

And I believed freelaner.com, then ending up
Having zero real contestants and
5 fake contestants who submitted the
Unrelated picture in my contest page.
Then those fake contestants asked me for give them
The prize.
And next day freelancer.com show me this message:
"It's time to choose a winning entry
Your contest has ended and you only have 11 days to select a winner. If you don't choose a winning entry within this period, your contest will be locked and you need to pay $5 USD to select a winner. Make sure to award a prize before April 27,2016."

They should refund me when there is zero work in the contest page.

I have seen few freelancers joined FL six months ago only but they have more than 50 reviews!

On top of that their reviews show that they did large and expensive projects which means the project is time consuming...

I'm freaked out... I'm convinced that there is a backdoor available for illegal or fraudulent freelancers...

I have been worked for freelancer.com promotion in the beginning. Previously it's Getafreelancer.com

I have also suggested so many important features to improve freelancer.com, they said that I will get paid for my suggestions but they did not pay even they implemented all of my suggestions.

Still there are so many drawback in the websites, but they do only their own profits not for service providers nor buyers.

I have been stopped working on Freelancer.com since 1 year because it has been providing worst services among of all outsourcing platforms.

If still they will improve their system then freelancer.com will be hide in next few years from the internet as ORKUT and other websites.

I will wait for my reversal on the 7th of May and I will wait my Withdrawal to Paypal until May 19-20, 2016 for the processing date.

I had too many problems about fake employers, sponsor bid, etc. Even if the progress is slow, they're doing their best to bring it back to me. If I won't get my hard earned withdrawal money, I'll let you guys know.

I posted a project, they asked me to create a milestone (money safe) and then once the Freelancer has done the job I should release the money from the Milestone. Freelancer never got back to me after I paid THROUGH PAYPAL thinking that it's safe. Freelancer has never returned my £620. They just disabled my account and just keep sending email over and over again. DNT EVEN USE PAYPAL BECAUSE YOU ARE NOT INSURED WITH PAYPAL WITH THIS COMPANY! How Pathetic is PAYPAL
