Scammers are not only targeting you via emails or lucrative ads, they are also common on (formerly oDesk), and other freelancing marketplaces. If you are not cautious, it is easy to fall prey to scams on Upwork or Freelancer. Scammers will get their jobs done by you and then disappear without paying you for your efforts. Besides legitimate projects, there are several types of scams on online job portals. Let’s see how to avoid them.
Read the Project Description AttentivelySome newbie freelancers often apply for jobs without understanding the project description. Don’t do it ever. Read the job posting first to last. Realize what the prospective client wants.
Legitimate buyers would always make their requirements clear in the job description. They will mention the desired units of deliverables, work-hours, budgets and the payment structure. If a job post invites you to apply for jobs just by “Tremendous work from home opportunity! Earn up to $200 per hour simply by browsing the Internet! Once you are awarded the job, you must purchase a small manual that will guide you in your daily tasks.” or something like this, most probably that’s a scam. How could you earn $200 by surfing the internet? Don’t be fooled by abnormally higher rates or peculiar tasks.A good client should tell you at least four things: what they want, what qualification they require, their payment policy and the project duration.
And an offering should sound reasonable. Use your common sense here. Check the Client’s ProfileAll of the clients with blank profiles are not necessarily bad. Still, experts suggest to be careful in dealing with them. A reliable client should have a payment method verified with the marketplace. Check the client’s ratings and their feedback from the contractors.
A good client should receive mostly great reviews and ratings. Avoid Free SamplesMost of the times, fraud buyers ask free sample works from the applicants. Some big freelancing marketplaces prohibit such demands. Providing a sample work is a crucial part of the recruitment process, because it helps the client to evaluate the candidates. But they have to pay for it. Never agree to provide a free sample – some scammers are exploring the web to trick the newbie freelancers to get their works done at zero cost.
Payment SecurityYes, freelancing marketplaces take a certain percentage from your earnings via those sites. In exchange, you get a secured payment mechanism.
For your newer clients, demand up-front payments or for fixed priced jobs. Major online provide escrow systems to prevent payment disputes. There are where you can use official time tracker apps provided by freelance marketplaces to log your job related activities and get paid automatically.Simply, before working on a fixed price contract, ensure that the milestone payment is funded on the escrow. If it’s an hourly job offer, check whether the client’s payment method is verified or not. If yes, then go for a contract, turn the time tracker ON for the appropriate job and then start working. When you have a history with a trusted client, you do not necessarily need to continue using their time tracker.
You can use 3rd party time tracking apps like that provide more convenient way to track your time and communicate the work log to the client. It costs far less than the traditional freelancing marketplaces. Report ScamsYou can detect a scam job post just by reading its description, checking the client details and finally conversing with the prospective buyer. If you find it suspicious, feel free to report against the particular post and/or the client. This action by you will help to protect other freelancers from falling into a trap. SummaryFreelancing is a around the world.
Every day many new freelancers are joining the global freelancing marketplace. Some morally deficient people are exploiting the newbie freelancers’ interests with scam job offers which ultimately lead to a frustration for the victim. But if a freelancer takes some precautionary steps before starting to work, they can evade losing money. Please help, as an employer i paid eur 1160 in 2 milestones for 1 project ( they were in pending ). The freelancer told me my project cannot be done and he refunded the payment.!!! This is where it all began the money is in the account but it wasnt automatically refunded to my debit card. They now ask me for a verification that i will not provide since i will not be using freelancer.com anymore due to this experience i cannot live chat because it says i need to fully verify my account!!
I wont do this because they should not have accepted the payment until the verification was made.!!! Upwork.com is no better. They scam everywhere the good reviews.
Blocks the funds for the freelancers. Freelancers is a pool of time fraudsters doing 5min work for 30-50 hours. But since its the only survival for already financially struggling UpWork, instead of canceling the fraud, they turn 5min work into 28-48h (takes away 2-4h from total amount billed), and then starts running the cards.
Also the fraudsters account is suspended so all the moneys goes to UpWork. Unlike Elance – UpWork does not offer the time rejection to control the time fraud issues. For a good reason considering the “updated platform”. They also dont want to address any of these issues. Post questions about their financial situation, why do they block the accounts, where is the customer service (not the ones in the bedrooms in philippines creating the tickets and not having any answers or power to do anything) – and you will be blocked and banned on their forums + all the question posts will be removed.TrustPilot – UpWork has all these hired reviewers. Some say they have been up with them for 4 years. When googled – there are no profiles or shows 1-5 hours in total.
A complete scam.Dont forget:10% is the UpWork feeExpenses:2-3% Amazon AWS3-4% credit card processing3-5% chargebacks if not more2-2,5% office + staffso we have at least 9-11% for expenses, no wonder they keep begging for the more and more financing 30mln every other year. For 1 bln corporation 30mln is like earning 25,000USD/mo and begging for the cashadvance company to give you $15.
Does not make any sense. Be very careful with themJust google the reviews odesk scam, upwork scam, odesk is a ripoff etc.
– you will find tons of real reviews. Also check their youtube -try to post your true thoughts – if its not good, it will be removed right away. I could not agree more.
I recently pulled all my projects from Upwork. Their customer service is non-existent at best, the development work from their “Recommended” 5-star developer was so incompetently executed that it took 2.5 months to complete a project quoted at 1.5 weeks. Every task had to be redone, and I had to pay for the errors and missteps. Complaints to Upwork are met with the same canned response, despite repeatedly showing Upwork customer service and mediation departments screenshot after screenshot where 1) the contractors admitted to error after error, 2) the contractors were searching Google trying to figure out how to do work for which they had a 5-star rating. Upwork cannot be trusted, the filtering process to find fluent English speakers is absurdity at its finest, and the reviews are clearly fraudulent.
Buyer Beware! The best way to avoid being scammed on Freelancer is to avoid Freelancer completely.I took their basic numeracy skills test so I could add something else to my profile to show to prospective clients. Their tests – or at least the ones I looked at – cost $5.00 plus a processing fee of around $0.42. Here’s an actual question exactly as it appeared on the test I took:“John eat 2 pieces of apples a day. Now, is Thursday, but he remembered the his apples left after eating apples during Monday are 30 pieces after that, he gave the half of all his apples to her daughter. How many apples left, if today is Friday after eating the two pieces of apples?”At least three other questions on the test had issues, such as multiple correct answers or no correct answer. Needless to say, this is completely unprofessional, especially considering these are paid tests.
How can I showcase my skills to prospective clients with a test like this? After the test was completed, there was an option to add more questions to the test. It looks like they don’t even verify new questions for accuracy.I contacted customer support and 4 days later I was told they do not refund the exam fees. Instead, they offered to let me take another exam for free and they offered me one free month of the lowest paid membership option. First, there’s no way I’m ever taking another exam for that site, free or not. Second, because of the exam that I did take I was already eligible for one free month of a higher-level paid membership, so offering me the lowest one is completely pointless.Based on this experience and the countless other reviews I’ve read about this site, I just decided to cut my losses and run.
I advise you all to avoid this shady site. Freelancer.com blocked my accound after I have made $400For 2 years I have been making some few projects on freelancers.com with most of the money goes to this scammer website. Today I found my account suspended after I have received the money from my employer. I have received an email telling me that the money was successful released.
But when I logged to my account I was checked how I was suspended for login to my account; telling me that I have broken its rules.Wake up freelancer! Wake up employers! Dont waste you time!One day you will be checked like me.
I was already warned by many friends but I could not take that in consideration. But with the first time with a project with good budget, I got deceived by this scammer website.They know everything about you, once they feel that they want take your money and get ride of you, they will do that without hesitation or a pre-warning!Don”t use their desktop App, it records everything on your computer to help them spy on you if you have some trouble with them. I mean, this App is a spyware!!!!!!Freelancer is losing its business. Its situation is going worst everyday.
They make up new scamming rules everyday to control their users money. They will use any scamming, hacking or every legal power to take rid of you.
The founder of Freelancer.com, Matt Barrie, is a thief. Stay FAR away from upwork. It’s not odesk anymore!!!!Upwork has been on a MASSIVE downhill slide since oDesk. They no longer handling their own dispute system (they are outsourcing it to some inattentive company called “modira”). Fraud charges on my paypal account are up from the new lower class of workers and when you dispute the charge with paypal, upwork tells them they are handling it.
Instead, your dispute gets lost in a slow support system called MODIRA which is outsourced as wellit’s BAD. 90% of of the jobs go wrong and support handles maybe 5% of the disputes! This isn’t just an issue of crap work. They don’t care about either the freelancer or the job poster. “They don’t care about either the freelancer or the job poster.” I agree.
They have removed just about every tool a freelancer needs to be able to determine professionally and intelligently whether a client will be good to work with. And they accept so many scam freelancers AND clients.Not to mention the ridiculously low budgets of $5 or $10 dollars. There really isn’t ANY kind of work that should be done for those low amounts of money, I don’t care what country you are in or whether it’s writing, graphic design, web design, whatever.
It costs that much money just to write up a proposal, and if you do get the job, interact with the client and write the job ticket! I’ve never had any business with UpWork or any of its previous incarnations, but last month found a charge on my VISA card from UpWork — for $850! UpWork returned none of my phone calls. I cancelled the credit card and my bank declared the charge fraudulent. But before the card was cancelled, UpWork charged me an additional $750!I have no idea how UpWork got my VISA number. They didn’t use my business card; the charges were made on my husband’s and my joint card.Moral: there are lots of good reasons not to deal with UpWork.
UPwork is a big scam I am a honest person trying to do some administrative work and trying to find decent clients but there all spam that contact me they ask for all my information even what bank I do business with (which they do not need to know) and say they are going to be sending me a check to pay for all the software needed for a mini office even money towards laptops and printers. I am done with this site.
So sad that people cant even be honest and target innocent people on these sites. Same type of scam was attempted on me through Upwork. Online interview (on Google Hangouts) for a Program Mgr. Position with a legit company- Quisk – set up with an email from Upwork. Person turned out to be bogus. Stay away from Joanne G. at officialdesknett.
After wasting hours on a fake interview- I was offered a job, but they wanted to transfer $$ into my personal bank account so I could buy a laptop and printer. They also requested ID ( CA Drivers License preferred). I did not provide anything and ended all communication. I wish I had taken your precautions.
Absolutely horrendous experience with Upwork. I used their “Recommended” developer, and spent 2.5 months paying multiple times for the same work, which had to be re-done periodically due to terrible quality. Complaints to Upwork are dismissed without a glance, their mediation department uses a canned response and pays zero attention to detailed screenshots – even admission of negligence by their contractors. It would be funny if it wasn’t so terrible, and ultimately so expensive for me. I’ve pulled every project from Upwork. I should have done so the first week of this fiasco. We are all better off working for ourselves, getting a grant from our local start up business centres and they help you with accounts etc, advertising locally and via social media.
No Freelancer rip off fees, have your own regular clients, there are some nice clients on Freelancer site, its just finding them, had a few bad experiences on Freelancer. I didn’t work hard for my degree and then be accepted for a Master’s degree in graphic design, to be treated as if I don’t matter. Design is my life and passion, I am a down to earth person with manners and morals. All I want to do is design and make people happy with my work, but I am certainly not getting that feeling with Freelancer. I don’t feel like I am a graphic designer, I feel like a slave to Freelancer rhythm.
I know working in graphic design isn’t always a bed of roses, but it can’t be this bad, can it? I was with Elance before it became Upwork and I’m still using Upwork. I’ve read all of the reviews here and I can honestly say that I have never had a problem with Upwork. As a freelancer you have to be careful with the jobs you select so you don’t get scammed.
I always select a job with a client that has verified payments. I have seen a few postings offering a huge sum of money for easy work without verified payment but very, very few. As for what clients offer to pay you for a job, it’s the client not Upwork that sets it. I have never had an issue receiving my money from Upwork and hopefully won’t have issues in the future. It’s unfortunate that some have had issues with them because overall I think they are pretty good.
First my account was disabled,I can’t login because freelancer thinks I did not use a valid ID(I send my valid drivers licensed), I only ask to changed my username from XXX to YYY for the reason the name I used when still my wife was is living, so I would like to change username(fancy reason for good name), but freelancer banned me, its better I did not ask to changed my username. Freelancer smokes your money slowlyLet’s suppose, verified client has posted a project “Need wordpress website for my small business” worth $3000GBP. Now projects was assigned to a developer. When developer accept the project, freelancer takes 10% from you and 3% from client. Now what if client cancle the project on 2nd day, same day or take off project from developer?Freelancer earned:- 10% $300GBP project fee + 3% $90GBP from client.Now developer balance is $300GBP in negative and he will need to pay that money soon or freelancer will deduct from next earnings. If you are an Indian than you must understand the value of $600 GBP.——————————————-Cyclic Project postingJust think about smartness of clients, they post a project with cost $1500USD and most of freelancers put bid high or low prices to get the project.
Client pick up average cost and post this project again with some lower cost again and again.At last he assigns this project to someone worth $200USD only. I don’t understand what is this? Freelancers are fool, who don’t understand it and bid more blindly. They sell to yourself in order to earn little money. Upwork has a horrible ban policy. Rather than listening to my side of the story, proven with screenshots, they decided to ban me.
Here’s what happened: I applied to a gig. I heard back within the same day. Now, I just have a budding reputation, like 5 max feedback total. So this really excited me especially as it looked to be really lucrative. Don’t get me wrong, I knew the job was going to be hard and required a lot of work. But it was totally doable with my experience.
So the potential employer invited me to a Skype session to talk more about it. So I had a Skype session. He said he would give me 3 sample lesson plans to write and in addition start my contract.
Well, after 6 total lesson plans I did for them and waiting several days (which turned into 2 weeks) and my contract still hadn’t been started, I asked to be compensated for the work I had done. Mind you, he wanted sample work done OUTSIDE of Upwork to see if I would be suitable for the job. When I asked him about being compensated, he gave an evasive answer, “oh we’re still looking at candidates.” Okay, why did you tell me you would start my contract? Also, you told me time was important and this needed to be done now. So he exploited a small user with a budding reputation. And Upwork banned ME for being taken advantage of!
Also, this potential employer has over $100,000 paid on Upwork. So why did he refuse $30 for my work? Living abroad in another country, that is a week of food for me.
So it’s important even though it’s just $30.What did Upwork say to me when I appealed? “We respectfully ask you don’t contact us again.” Thanks for nothing Upwork and zero customer support and understanding. I’ve got an offer so easily on my first day of signing up for upwork – they are “payment unverified” they started chatting with me thro “hangouts” app, didn’t accept my proposal on upwork, no chats on upwork, nothing. I got contacted by them through text.
I knew it was strange because no true employers ever text me first and they had a gmail account instead of a proper business email account. I decided to play along only to see what they would do and for the 5% possibility they were legit. I got up early for an “interview’ and actually dressed up so I was ready to turn on my camera. They came on time and I asked to see visual representation. They refused.
I called them out as lying bs scammers. They logged off. It’s just horrible that people are doing this to others that just want to work. Freelancer has accessed my account and deducted 2 exam fees of which one I never sat. Upwork also scams the developers. For instance, I am looking now a two jobs posted that are almost 100% identical, the wording, the same capitol letters.
A few word shave been added / removed. This may not be a big deal if they were from the same client, but what do you know they are from two different clients!?
How do I know they are different clients. Their “Member Since” Date is one day apart. Upwork’s motive for this I believe is to eat through the freelancers connects, forcing them to purchase more connects. Freelancers are only allowed to bid on so many projects without paying to bid on more! Hi,today i received an email which informs me that i am hired for some data filling.The guy name is eskiuy45.
But when i tried to contact him on freelancer site, i found out that his account is deleted.Is it fake? What should i do?This is the email that i received –Thanks for Bid My Project.Now you are part of my project.If You working everyday and your typing speed is good, In this project You can earn 400$-500$ per month.You must start work every day between below that time:WORKING STEP:Download The Working Software Below That Link:After Download, Open The Working Software And Put Your Login Username And Password.———————-Login UserName: more86Login Password: 1Your work just type the code and enter for continue.When Show Code/image Case Sensitive, Then Type Both Capital And Smaller. To avoid scam on both, Upwork and Freelancer, the best way is to stay away from both.
Because worse than clients are the platforms. I had trouble with both.On Freelancer it took like 2 weeks to get paid. And instead of charging the fees from the money they put in my account, they charged them from my Paypal account. They did it because I was in a 30 days trial for a membership plan. Meaning, they had no right to charge the fees for a job from it. And of course it doesn’t make sense either. I consider it theft, since they didn’t really transfer money to my account at this point, but took some instead!After I didn’t get paid for the second job, I left immediately.
3 months later I received an email saying, I have to pay like $45, since they continued charging membership fees and I’m IN THE RED!!! So, how is that even possible? They took my money. But instead of cancelling the membership, I go in the red and have to pay them???Stay away from Freelancer!But Upwork is not better at all.Upwork charges fees wherever they can. Commision for job payments, transfer fees, membership fees, for connects (which you need to apply for jobs!), making it incredible hard for new people to make money, instead of spending it.Also companies pay dumping prices, since obviously there are freelancers who are working for less than $4 per hours.You think that’s all? Take a look at.Not only have they increased their fees from 10 to 20%.
They are actually taking 25% instead of the stated 20%. As if that wasn’t enough, they are commiting tax fraud and taking taxes from the freelancers instead of the clients by twisting the transaction history.And support is the worst ever.
No help at all. Fast at closing tickets without solving a problem, just repeating terms and condtions. On Upwork not only freelancers got hacked by people who have offered to them, but also accounts are suspended if you apply often but don’t get assignments.So, pick your reason why you don’t use Freelance AND Upwork! Freelancer.com=SCAMhello my friends. I hope you are doing great. From personal experience, just recently i have hard times withthey won’t give me my money that i worked for in a valid contest. They have to give me 166GBP.
But they are scam, they told me that the contest was closed to protect me as a user. This has no relevance or logic.short story: i have entered in a contest, with prize 500GBP to create design for an employer. The contest was GUARANTEED (this is a safety measure to guarantee us the freelancers that the money will be paid to us, for sure, meaning the prize wil be awarded 100% even if the employer does not decide a winning design).
I have uploaded many valid entries, me and other freelancers. The contest holder (employer) had 14days to decide the winning design, but unfortunately he did not pick one. So the prize must be splitted between the active entries. Meaning me and 2 other freelancers had active entries for the contest. I have talked with one of the support team and assured me that the money will be splitted in 3, after another 14 days. It has been passed these 14 days, and yesterday when i wait my part of the share 166.66GBP, i see the contest deleted and no money in the account.their explanation: “We understand your concern on this contest.
However, it is better to remove the contest that will cause liabilities to users and to us even if the contest is Guaranteed. We are protecting users from this kind of contest as it will create issues in the future.”are you kiding me?? And so they took our prize money and for what?? AVOID THEM!!! THEY ARE SCAM AND THEY MAKE THE RULES BUT THEY DO NOT RESPECT THE RULES NOR THE TERMS AND CONDITIONS.
IN THEIR TERMS AND CONDITIONS SPECIFY THAT GUARANTEE PRIZE MEANS THE MONEY WILL GO TO THE FREELANCERS 100%!! AND IS BU.LL.SH.IT!! Hi, it happened to me just 4 hrs ago.
The guy messaged me at freelance and gave me an email address with instruction to contact him for the project details. I emailed him and responded with the project details and gave me the option to choose which plan (Plan A to D) of typing job to do. When I was offered for the job, he asked for a certain amount as deposit to make sure that I will do the job. I got confused why would I need to give a refundable deposit prior to doing the job. I then sensed it was a scam so i told him that i don.t have money to deposit. When i viewed again his profile at freelance it was already closed.
Upwork is now scamming US freelancer’s banking info! They have started a new policy of requiring additional info above and beyond your current financial data to “prove” you are a US resident for a new option for clients to request only US workers.
They refuse a driver’s license and want your banking infowhich does NOT prove residency. So all you guys overseas, start looking for a fake address and setup a bank account I guess. It looks like a bank scam. I contacted them, went through 3 levels of support before they said they were not interested in me proving where I live, but want my bank info! Same story with my husbandhe didnt listen and using the big company names and sending fake offer letters on big company name and scammed money.I was after my husband, he didnt listen from day 1 and he is to the point where he deposited the check what they gave and then it is holding and my husband returned money back thinking he deposited.I was tellign him from day 1, he didnt listen and he lost money.Now he understands that there are scam.I hope these people will be punished to scam the people.Why these social Messengers doesnt block all these people or do something taking an action.
I’m fairly new to Upwork. I’m glad I read all of this before giving them my bank info. I had a feeling it was fishy from the beginning. There’s no reason they need your bank information. You give them that information, you give them access to your account. They should have a different method for paying people if they really cared about their system.
I believe the best way to deal with this is if Upwork allowed people to use their PayPal accounts. Literally only have an account that is for Upwork. I don’t know, just throwing ideas out there. But I’m not going to pursue business with Upwork.
I would advise others to do the same. One thing also I have learned is that they will set a fake description on the job and expect you to send money to clients and are not affiliated with the company they say they are. I am new to this and I have seen this scam before. It is something this common now and they will promise you a 401k for part time job and pay you weekly about $500 a week and also compensate you with medical health benefits.
Yet when it comes to the job. The job description you have signed up for matches nothing to what they have said. They have basically wanted you to take money from you. Upwork rejected my application. I have superior writing capabilities and access to online databases like EBSCO Host. I could have brought excellent writing and content creation skills to the platform yet they rejected my application because they have too many writers. How is that possible?
Why not let employers decide? I suspect they rejected me because I have started my own SaaS for business development, not at all in competition to Upwork. I guess I should have lied and showed myself to be less capable of delivering quality writing and online content. Hi all,I recently started participating in contests that can be found in Freelancer.com and after reading some of these reviews I’m starting to get a little worried.Could someone who has had experience in participating in contest at Freelancer tell me if they are really legit? I know there might be people who had bad experiences but I could use some positive feedback from people who actually have had positive experiences in this site.I am really looking forward to getting some small jobs here for some income but for now I am getting a little skeptic. 11 months ago I worked with a person or agency named ‘translingual’ (Chennai, India). The project was to transcribe 2 hours of audio, for 1 hour/30 dollars.
I finished the 2 hours and sent the project before them saying me that they can pay me only after 7 days. (which ended up becoming 10 days without payment). A milestone were created on the site for 2 hours/60 dollars, and I’ve been paid for that after 10 days. However during the 10 days I worked on an additional 6 hours of transcription.This is a link to the first project on the site, 60 dollars = 4010 ₹ have been paid:I was never paid for the 6 additional hours. I sent files via PM for « verification », and I had promises to be paid, until the scammer stopped answering to my messages.This is the profile of the person/agency I was dealing with:On skype: Translingual PvtI am reminding and reviving them via PM and skype without success. The scammer is posting new projects on the same site, trying to scam more people.What to do as a freelancer living at the opposite part of the world when bills are not paid?I already contacted the website several times to report this problem. They’re helpless when it comes to recovering overdue payments and they do nothing about scams, once they have taken their « fees ».
What is Upwork is a participant in the scam? The situation is that upwork gives incorrect customer service information, repeatedly. In this case, they are telling us to violate copyright and artist rights laws.
They law is specific, an artist keep title to their original work and gives use license to the buyer for art. The one exception is logos, logos the artist must give original art files to buyer. Other than logos, unless it is in the contract, the artist owns all his/her original creation files. Upwork says to give the file to the client. All artist copyright sites, and the US copyright office say upwork is wrong. Upwork demands a mediation over their involvement in violation of the law. The client, has threatened, used foul and abusive language, and made demands – and knows he’s wrong – he just wants to beat the artist into the ground.
All artists associations say upwork is wrong – they stopped responding to the customer service complaint – because they know they can be sued over and over for giving the wrong informatiopn. So, how does on protect themselves from Upwork when they violate the law themselves. I want to report a scam and to help other people.MS Global Inc.(www.msglobalinc.net; Skype ([email protected]) is a big scam and fraud.My experience with that “company” is horrible. I have found them on PeiplePerHour.com platform presented as Luz V. Business Development Manager.In November 2017 MS Global made an offer to my project (Making a web application from an interactive CD-rom) with a decent price. When I accepted their offer they insisted on skype contact and further contact was not through PeiplePerHour.com platform, what was MY BIG MISTAKE.
Promised delivery time was 3 weeks.They (Luz V.) called a few times per day asking for initial payment (1/3 of the budget). I sent money to them offsite (directly via Skrill) what was my second big mistake.After 1 month they delivered a few jpg’s (“UI designes”) that could be made by an average Photoshop user in a few hours. I was very suspicious about their ability for finishing the project but I paid second payment (1/3) for the second stage of the project (“Inner development) with a condition that all job has to be done in 3 weeks. AFTER 1 MONTH they delivered the same jpg’s as html’s that didn’t work at all.After 3 months they did not do almost anything and all agreed dates for finishing the projects were not respected. I asked for paying me back.They promised a few times to contact me and find a solution but they didn’t. When I called them “the operational manager Josh” was always “in the city” (whatever it means).Of course, until now they did not do anything more and they did not pay back.I do not believe that MS Global Inc.
Exists at all. Except “Business Development Manager Luz V.” who is responsable for asking a few times per day for payment and “the operational manager Josh” who is responsable for laying and making false promises.I strongly recommend to everyone:Avoid any contact with any freelancer except through the PeiplePerHour platform or other comparable platforms.Do not make any business with Luz V. Or MS Global Inc., it is scam and fraud!!!Dado. Thanks for your thoughts.
One thing really noticed is the fact banks in addition to financial institutions are aware of the spending routines of consumers as well as understand that many people max outside their own credit cards around the holidays. They wisely take advantage of this particular fact and commence flooding ones inbox and snail-mail box with hundreds of no-interest APR credit card offers shortly when the holiday season comes to an end. Knowing that if you’re like 98 of American community, you’ll soar at the possible opportunity to consolidate personal credit card debt and transfer balances towards 0 rate credit cards.
I just found out the hard was, with hourly rate, scammers the rush system Upwork has. They auto take out money from your account, even though you have not confirmed the job was done and you happy to make the payment. The freelancer agreed the 40hrs only, but kept submitting hrs. Upwork don’t care about these scammers, because they get the commission from the charges.
So I would advise you to look at alternatives. I have just lost close to $900.00 and they still want me to pay for $1200.00. No work submitted & no work done.
