After using Freelancer.coms service for nearly 7 months, I made a deposit to pay off a project that had been built, deconstructed and rebuilt spanning over 4 months. The project cost me thousands of dollars and required several people to complete.
I made a deposit in my account, and transferred the final balance to the provider. Several hours later the provider informs me his account was suspended and to seek a refund from Freelancer because he had not received the funds. I immediately seek a refund to find that my account is also suspended and they refuse to answer or give a refund.
They requested identification, WHICH I DID NOT TRUST GIVING TO SUCH SCAMMERS but sent anyway, yet they still are ignoring me and their "live support" keeps ending any session I try to initiate.
Neither I nor the seller are new to this site, and we both have good feedback from several users who also have good feedback. This is not my first deposit though it is my highest.
FREELANCER.COM IS TRYING TO STEAL $550 FROM ME ($563 AFTER FEES!) but I will NOT let it happen. Paypal has been notified and is investigating the matter along with any other complaints so if you have had a problem with them TELL PAYPAL NOW!
I will get this out to every forum I can, facebook, twitter, myspace, youtube and will even create an adsense campaign until I get my money back.
The complaint has been investigated and resolved to the customer’s satisfaction.
They got $170 from me ... Where can I make a complain? It is a "customer protection" agency or something similar in Australia? I wan't to make a complain about these scammers from freelancer.com. Thank you
It is too bad they are not honest in business dealings. In the end, Greedy people get busted and maybe sent to jail. It may take time, but it will happen.
I needed my pay for food. They have taken food from ME during hard times.
A starving artist can bring them down.
They have no right to retain your money in any way. I got my money back and don't work with them anymore
same here... They got me for 140.00 was the only income I have. They need to be shut down! Close them AU. Do the right thing. Freelancer makes your country look bad to the rest of us hard working people. Close them down.
