    Matt says “We provide you with a liquid highly skilled labour force available on demand 24/7” (2:25). I have to disagree with him. One cannot dispute that the numbers are there, but the skills are not guaranteed. It's luck of the draw as to the level of skill of the freelancer you hire – even if you do read their reviews and use the rating system. I use freelancer.com myself and can say this from first hand experience. My advice to anyone using this service is to be careful. Choose carefully and choose freelancers who have done the SAME job in the past, not just ones with a high rating overall.

    Freelancer.com is the biggest fraud party at this time.

    Here I m quoting a paragraph from freelancer’s support representative, The name is “Maria Cristina — Posted On: 17 Dec 2010 6:12 PM”
    An incomplete report works both ways. We give both parties to leave their comments on the project. Normally the buyer puts a comment first stating his experience with the provider that he has worked with. You can add detailed comments so it will also warn providers why the project didn’t work out and knowing this will make them think twice to work with the buyer.

    Here is an example of that how true these wordings are.

    Here is my profile on freelancer.com
    http://www.freelancer.com/users/feedback_709741.html

    Where you can easily find out that a user with the user id “asdink1″ has posted a report incomplete to me. Where you can also see that I have posted my comments there. If the statement of freelancer support member is true then can any body show me that where is in the profile of “asdink1″ that he has posted a report incomplete to any project?

    Freelancer.com is only interested in buying up failing outsourcing sites and collecting service fees to recover their costs. It’s best to stick with services with a proven record for putting integrity above investments, debt, and charges.

    It is going to a very funny situation, After one month I m getting same message from freelancer support,
    An incomplete report works both ways. We give both parties to leave their comments on the project. Normally the buyer puts a comment first stating his experience with the provide that he has worked with.

    As long as you have explained your side clearly both buyers and providers will know the situation.

    What a funny response.

    If report incomplete works both way then they should show me the details of project that was not completed and reported as incomplete by this buyer,
    http://www.freelancer.com/users/feedback_1288026.html

    What is the use to show comments only in my profile?? how other providers will come to know that this buyer is fraud and love to post report incomplete every provider…..

    I dont know that every person can understand this situation, can understand what I m saying. But freelancer support team has no mind, I think they are brainless. Thats why they come up with 1 month old argue, I already explained it. And when I explain them a straight forward thing,, they come to me by saying
    We do not appreciate your use of abusive language. This is your last warning. Further use of foul language will lead to the suspension, and even termination, of your account.

    They can not do any right favor for providers.

    I need to know if this is true? http://www.ripoffreport.com/book-magazine-publishers/freelancer-com-getaf/freelancer-com-getafreelancer-4c539.htm

    I found many more complaints for the website. Also, why don’t your support team solve the query on urgent basis.

    Freelancers from all over the world depend on your platform for their money and how can you suspend the account without notification, when there is money in that particular account and user is with you from last 6 years?

    Can you explain this. What kind of support you provide?

    There is no phone number, no response to tickets, mails sent, no online chat available.

    How do you advice to contact you people for help! Even after contacting your support team so many times, no response.

    This is mental harassment for the freelancers who work so hard on the projects to get money and suddenly they see your mail saying account suspended without any notification.

    And after submitting all proof, no action is taken for days, and no replies.

    What will you say about this?

    I would like to know the answers.

    Thanks

    If you are about to use Freelancer.com, don’t, you will not
    have peace for the rest of your life. If you’ve done business with them, be
    careful, read on. Freelancer.com is harvesting your REAL data with your Photo.
    They will do anything so that you will submit your Government issued ID or
    Passport. The most common way is to suspend your account with your money inside.

    In order for you to recover your account you need to submit full
    color high resolution Government ID / Passport. They will reject it if it’s a black
    and white even with high resolution. Or they will reject color ID but low
    resolution. Or they will reject your ID card not issued by government. Does not
    make sense at all.

    Once you have submitted it, they will ask you to take your
    photo holding a code given by them and with your passport or government ID. They
    want to verify that you are real. Don’t you find this is fishy? This is just a
    freelancer website. Even website with high sensitivity and money involved (eg. Paypal,
    google checkout), they never ask you submit full color high resolution Government
    ID.

    When you have this sensitive data and high resolution Gov ID,
    they can do anything. They can re-produce the card, apply for credit card. They
    literally can do anything with it.  They
    have your email address, real name, passport id, address, date of birth etc.
    Using this data I can impersonate you and call your bank. This is just simple example.
    Spam companies or other not legit company will pay top dollar your real data.

    When they refunded your money after you submitted your Gov
    ID, don’t be happy. Don’t think they are legit. Ask yourself why they need
    this? This is the first time a website ask for my Gov ID!

    For my case, I have $450 in my account and my account
    suspended.  Paypal will not help you to
    recover your money since this is a service. Which I’m very disappointed
    although it’s clearly to do with scam. The money is deposit, not purchasing any
    service from them. I have a choice to fight back through my bank. But
    definitely I will not send them my Gov ID. This company is from Australia. It’s
    NOT common for a company to ask for your full color high resolution Gov ID
    unless you deal with government agencies.

    If you need freelancer website, search from google.
    Elance.com and odesk have good reputation. They have real people answering your
    phone.  Freelancer.com doesn’t have phone
    number and no address, just PO BOX. Their online chat customer supports are
    from 3rd world country. They don’t speak English, they just know how
    to type.

    Someone must investigate on this. This is alarming.

    Matt, very impressive.But have one problem about your business that is hurting alot of people. Its okay that you dont allow multiple accounts of any person but then why you are taking so long to resolve these kinds of issue. My name is Saurabh Barjatiya and would like you to bring this to your notice being a part of this site is the worst thing I have done in my life. This is what is my feeling. I am thinking sometime, what is your problem with people having multiple accounts. And who you are to verify people with their IDs and passports when they have multiple accounts.
    I seriously dont understand you.From your english and talk you seems to be very unfit to have such a large business.
    When your company can only hurt people, you can’t run your business for long time. If you think that your the boss,,,foooof, I have seen many people down into digs with in no time. Who the hell you are….
    Its already been more than two weeks, your customer service can’t resolve my issues. My id is akshat06. Would you be able to help speedup the process. They have even stopped the payment from my account and dont even respond for long long time. Very rude and unethical.

    What’s
    Wrong with you guys. Stop scamming people. Why not just release our
    money? We have the right to withdraw it even if you terminated our

    us, I know, I am not the only one with the same problem like this. I
    Swear to get all the people who’ve experience same way i do on your
    system. I will make this a viral!!!! This is the only way we could fight
    out all your craps!!!
