Freelancer the biggest **** company
BE VARY CAREFUL So i joined freelancer prem for about 2 months now - paid and doing about 100 bids a day - they claim to have verified clients and money is safe. Client contacts me with project - wards me the project and funds the first milestone - i deliver - then second - deliver again (this is costing me $400 but he has funded the acc so i am safe (i thought!!) the 3rd and before i could deliver - freelancer suspends my acc and then deleted my acc - for violating their code - now the interesting part - once deleted you can't dispute this as they block your email - and best is they keep all the money that was funded - so not only do i loose the prem membership but also i loose all the money in my wallet that is so called safe in their account !! And they don't reply on any communication - so be very aware they are one big **** company !

These people make you do work, and when you're done, they review the work that was done. You get transferred to a pay director that ask again for your details an make payment to an app called Vidaa Payment Bank. You must register yourself on that app so that you can receive payment. After you have done all the required things that were asked, the money gets transferred to the Vidaa Payment Bank. If you try to transfer the money to PayPal or any other option the is a message comes up saying you must liaise with the bank agent for an EMF code. The agent sends you a message to say before your money can be transferred anywhere you should make a payment towards a deposit to them to receive the code to for the EMF code. The deposit from S.A side is R1000. Don't fall for their tricks as I almost did but when they said I must deposit money 1st I stop everything thing. Dealt with a pay director on Telegram by the name of Bhullar Harpinder telegram infor https://t.me/bhullarharpinder Watch out for these people the on face book https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=***

Freelancer - DO NOT RECOMMEND
Absolutely Useless especially if you are South African. Unless you have been on the site for a long time and have done many tasks then only is it okay. However the biggest RED FLAG, I had somebody email for an Google Video interview only for them to request that I put my camera on but they will have there off. So complete violation of professional ethic as well as privacy. Oh yes, they also ask you to take the higher packages so you have access to more vacancies which you have to bid for to get it and there's a very good chance you will not get the job. So definitely will not recommend

Account Suspension After 48 Hours: $99 Fee Lost, Business Impact Severe Rating: 1/5 Stars (Abysmal) I am writing this review as an urgent warning to anyone considering purchasing a premium subscription on Freelancer.com. My experience highlights severe issues with their internal account verification and customer support processes, resulting in immediate financial loss and the collapse of new business opportunities. I decided to commit fully to the platform and upgraded to a premium annual subscription, paying the fee of $99 USD on [8/oct]. This was done to secure more bids and unlock features necessary to land serious client work. Tragically, just two days (48 hours) later, my account was abruptly suspended by the site administrators. I received no prior warning, no specific explanation of the violation, and no opportunity to rectify any issue before the suspension took effect. The financial fallout has been devastating and immediate: Lost Subscription Fee ($99): The platform immediately locked my account, making the $99 annual membership fee completely wasted. Since the suspension appears to be final and sudden, I have been unable to use the service I paid for, and given the circumstances, I doubt a refund will be processed easily. Lost Business Opportunities (Estimated $500): Crucially, the suspension occurred while I was in the process of finalizing contracts and bids with new clients. This sudden, unexplained closure effectively severed my contact with these customers, resulting in an estimated loss of at least $500 in immediate contract value and severely damaging my professional reputation on and off the platform. The core issue here is being allowed to purchase a high-cost service only to be locked out 48 hours later. This implies that either the initial verification process is deeply flawed, or the platform is intentionally processing payments before carrying out suspension checks. If you are a serious professional looking to invest in a platform, be aware that your account can be suspended without warning after you pay them. I have lost the subscription fee plus hundreds in potential earnings due to their aggressive and opaque administrative actions. Use caution and be prepared for potential immediate termination without recourse.
