Since I did apply for about 12 auctions to provide services every single one contacted back to me with different than asked services, all people said that can not wire money, only checks. Part of them asked of setting illegal accounts, part of them of fraud. This is the biggest fraud service portal I ever saw. All India scammers and fraud developers are there. There is any - literally any single one normal proposal or business.

Stay away.

Guru site and policy is so confusing. As if they designed it to hide your money. On multiple occasions, gurus had been paid without my approval. Which points to another deficit... lack of vetting. More than once, guru's have taken payment and then disappeared without delivering anything. Unfortunately terms and milestones are initiated by guru... which is backwards... employer should be establishing milestones and payment terms.

I did job for someone in USA he payed 90 dollars and when I tried to withdraw payment was on hold because he didn't verify his ID. He can pay without verification but when I need to withdraw he needs to verify? This is classical scam where they can legally keep money because employeer didn't verify ID even though he payed with credit card. Policy is horrible and not worth they will do everything just to keep money away from you. Even though you are the one who wasted your time. AVOID THEM AND FREELANCER KEEP TO UPWORK!

I posted a job which was a google extension. I needed half a letter size of code. One gentleman applied for the job. I have suggested $30. He agreed on the price for coding this chrome extension.
Then, he asked me to chat on skype. I gave him my skype account. On Skype, he asked me to pay more money for the project. I said no and I stopped here.
I am not a pro of coding chrome extension but I am a pro in Javascript. It took me 8 hours to code the extension myself.
Then, I discovered it wasn't possible to get my money back. I was happy I only spent $30. I only lost $30
So, you may think I am stingy. However, If I would have spent $200, who say that I would have had something in return? I would have likely lost $200 in guru.com

I completed a project through guru.com. My client already deposited my pay in guru's safe pay, but when I try to withdraw it they say I can't do it. They asked me to wait for 7 days and after that, they gave me 3 more dates, and yet the payment was not released. So now they tell me that the client has filed charge back so they can't release my pay. I asked the client and he said he never filed any charge back. When I ask them, they don't give any responses. They are frauds.

Interessting, if you sign up with these clowns and list the first job offer they will delete it automaticly, telling me i need to follow their guideline. Afer i emailed them they apologize and the job is live. Midnight i got an email saying i need to submit again docs because my was accurate. In the morning i just saw that my account is gone. I will do now a chargeback of 3.65 usd of my creditcard chargeback fee will be 20 usd just to make a statement. If you a digital nomad do not even use those $#*!s. Dont even use them. I guess they dont like colored people.

I created my account 10 days ago and posted a job for iOS developer. Then site asked me to upload my IDs like government provided id proof, driving license, pan card, aadhar card, bank statement.
Round 1: I uploaded all of my information.
My personal name, phone, address
Photo
Address proof: bank statement
Id proof: driving license

They accepted 2 and rejected 2.

Round 2:
I uploaded my photo and driving license again as it was rejected in last round.

This time, they accepted new uploaded info and rejected the other 2.

Round 3:
I uploaded again all the info,. This time accepted 3 but rejected 1 again.

I uploaded that rejected info again.

Finally I received an email that all my documents are accepted.

After this i received another email and it was mentioned thath due to some negative activity they are going to close my account.

I am attaching an screenshot of this email.

I mean, these people took my all the documents and then just closed my account without giving any reason. I didn't do any wrong thing on this site and not sure why they did this.

I would request you not to give your any documents to these people because it's not a place to work.

I hope soon these people will learn a lesson because there is something wrong happening. Don't know if they are selling your information to some illegal parties.

There are plenty of market place and much better then this guru.com and I would like work on any of them.

THE WORST experience I have ever had. I was charged $3.50 for no reason other than to verify my credit card. This was done at the end of my posting experience. From there it was billed in USD to my credit card where I have no way of knowing how much was billed (my card is Canadian). It then instructs me to call my bank to get the exchange rate...

The purpose of this service is to save me time not eat up more time.

As far as I am concerned this site is a scam looking for $3.50 and is intentionally designed to look good, but provide not actual value

Use Upwork. Use anything else than live scam.

I have completed my work and get paid through my client but I process the amount to withdraw the GURU.COm held my payment. Without any reason. I have written so many time there is no any response I got.

I teach at a major university. Guru connected me with some kid in India who did a fine job for my project (editing some class photos w/ Photoshop). I signed off on the project's completion and authorized Guru to pay. Guru emails me a few days later that they need some additional verification information (which it could have asked for at account initiation). I wrote back that "I am at the airport leaving the country for 10 days. I dont have this information handy." Two days later, Guru wrote back "Hello David, I've not heard from you regarding verification of the payment. Therefore, a credit has been issued to your credit card and should be reflected in your account balance within 3 to 5 business days. Your Guru account has been closed." So, I get a free project and the kid in India gets stiffed! Only through heroic efforts of my secretary do we figure out how to get the account reinstated and the kid paid. The kid wrote back "First of all let me thank you for your crystal clear sincere replied mail. The mail shows your whole hearted attitude you showed sincerely for the loss of the amount that is going to occur to me. But to be very truthful, it was not the loss of the amount I am worried with, but the loss of my first client from Guru.com. Your mail gave me a great strength because I did not lose you. For this I salute you with a huge thanks and never ending gratitude. As you asked regarding the payment. Still it is not updated. Let us wait for some time and see what is happening." He eventually got paid. I think Guru.com's conduct is shameful.
