For B2C I worked more than 2 years as a freelancer and during that time I always had trouble getting my money for completed work and that was sometimes more than 5 sites a day.

I was always pushed to work hard and wait for the payment more than couple of months, for payments that are agreed to be weekly, and to email a couple of times a day to notify the employer that he is late. He was always on some meeting and business trips and he never had time to answer promptly on my messages.

As all workers in this company kept telling me that I was doing a great job, even the ones that where laid off, I never suspected not to be paid for the hard work that I obviously did with no complaints and even the additional work I was not meant to work on,

Until March 2012 I was told that he needs to stop additional freelance hiring "until I can get caughtup".
Since then I never got a single cent and I had serious and long talks with my ex employer resulting in "you will be paid", and that has never yet come.  I had to make this report 

For all freelancer that are going to work for them I would suggest to BE AWARE, open your eyes and take your money in advance!!!!

As for the clients of UPW that I hear make complaints against them almost daily, and they don't bring much in public on rip off report. You can google ultimate pet websites in google and you will see really this time how many positive comments are there about them.

Also for the clients, please look for someone else, and read your contract carefully. Better stay safe than sorry!!!!

I wish I had never worked for them and I lost so many precious time and nerves for nothing!!!

PS

You really can't hide all your negative comments with SEO and SEM from users/costumers because there are really a lot of  them, play fair we are bringing you money!!! Common sense!!!

Cheers

POSTED: Tuesday, January 15, 2013

Keep on posting lies and I will submit daily reports of proof...

If everything what I said doesn't matter to you. Why do you keep on sending replies?! You really don't have better things to do? Take care of your family its worth it... I guess...

I have much better and profitable work to do,  as I said I'm not a  hacker and I don't care about your ridiculous creation. If you want I can send you a PROFESSIONAL service contact to take care of your problem?! I only feel so sorry for the clients you resell your terrible hosting to so I don't need to do anything, as I don't have any attention and need to do. The reason of that server being down and bad service that you provide it is because you are unprofessional, unethical, immoral, (kids can notice this by reading your posts) incompetent and ignorant of doing anything, only breathing, robing, cheating, stealing and lying is what you do BEST.

There was a solution for this problem years ago and there is still the solution for this problem and its called PAY UP. I've had enough of waiting for your response and never endless talks going to nothing. You had your chance, now its public! And it bothers you...

Anyways it was a holiday season and it ended today... so you are not really that much important to me. I have other people worth living for to spend my time on. That's the debt collectors job not my. Hm, oh I forgot... and please "boss" answer the phone next time when they call you. Or I will send you their contact if you want? They really want to hear your charming voice...

I can't wait to see your false reports to any authority that is out there pointing to my bad behavioral or anything that I did wrong dating from the time I worked there until today, simply because there is nothing!!!! NOTHING. I did my homework and I expect the response from authorities as well, two can play that game, but I did it for real because I can and you can't.

Another update of your "jobs well done":
(((REDACTED)))


By posting lies you will get only more problems and my defense will be even stronger, please I beg you stop with all this rubbish... don't get deeper... Free advice...

#10 UPDATE Employee

This poster has hacked and attacked our sites again

AUTHOR: Bryan Wade - (United States of America)

POSTED: Monday, January 14, 2013

We are posting to report that this Freelancer, who continues to post that he is a victim and owed money, has once again hacked, attempted to hack and/or reset the passwords on all of our client sites again this weekend.

Our entire staff was forced to work most of the weekend to prevent this.

DO NOT hire this person for any reason. He will do this to your client sites until he gets money.

We have a law enforcement liason working with us to coordinate with Serbian authorities, but this poster uses multiple IP's and is very hard to stop.

Unfortunately for ME everything what I wrote is true, and I can't forget myself for making this huge error and letting you do this to me in first place.

AUTHOR: team1 - (Serbia and Montenegro)

POSTED: Monday, January 07, 2013

My dear B2C's,

You are again playing unfair because there are more than 7 of you not including family members that can post much more than me. And your post are with hidden names and identity. Very brave... Except B... W...

If I haven't done the job right on first couple of sites (few days) why wasn't I fired in first place like the other freelancers where in couple of days from hiring? Every normal person would do this, not good, bye. 

BUT

For your record I've worked on more than 150 sites (that is one hundred and fifty not a few or a couple of ones...) from scratch during this 2 year period, and much more sites with simple content updates. SO WHERE IS HERE NOT MUCH WORK INVOLVED AND WAS I BAD THAT MUCH?
I busted my a*s for all of you and you cut me off. NO WAY.

Dear employees,
You have to post all these rubbish to keep your jobs I can understand that, and that's the reason you have to post. Very loyal, I must add.
As for the author of post #3 I've never worked with him, so I don't really know how is he capable of posting anything about me.
#5 Employee well Cra.. B. I made a lot of forms just for your project and I think more than 20... And you gave me a full support of making them and was very grateful and satisfied with my work with your Brit... writing.
#7 Ex-Employee, well Luc.. C. you where the one who caused me a lot of trouble when I had to do your work too not only mine. 
But I forgive you on this post, because you and JZ fought for me the most when I was angry and in need of money from our employer, and when I wanted to quit, you two convinced me that everything will be ok and solved in my favor... But he is mean and stubborn isn't he? :)

I'm terribly sorry for not being able to stop working for you in first place, (but a lot of money was in the game that I was afraid of never getting out of you for my honest and hard work, such and irony) I kept working for you and time that I wasted.

As for the promptness> I was always online and even more than 8hrs a day just for you 5 days a week (pc/laptop/mobile), and for other clients as well even on weekends, so you can sell that time manner story to someone else. And some of you sent me not only one project for one day, than two or more from the others who could do them on time. Everything what I was been given is done in couple of hours (not more than one business day) and others needed more than 4 days bigger project didn't took me to do for more than one week, that's 5 business days. Just to open your eyes and let you know THIS IS WHY YOU KEPT ME, for your record!

Also only for few people I feel sorry that still works for you and everyone else is pure ballast. You need to sail away, for your own safety and common sense.

Please stop making more lies and nonsense.

Always and forever Yours sincerely!

#8 UPDATE Employee

This poster is a liar and blackmailer

AUTHOR: UPWdesigner - (United States of America)

POSTED: Monday, January 07, 2013

This freelancer was hired to help us close up some hacks among other things.

I worked on several of them with him, and it was my opinion that HE was actually creating the hacks. I warned William of this and he tried to placate this guy in hopes he would just go away. We paid him well over $1000 and got very little.

Our philosophy is to do our designing in-house, but we felt this person could help us get things done faster, and it was quite the opposite.

William was concerned because this guy wanted more money, so we just kept placating him while we got all of our sites locked down.

He would send emails stating that he would "post on high ranking sites" if he did not get money.

The whole thing is insane, and he gets more and more threatening.

We are making every effort to notify law enforcement and other freelancer groups that he is very dangerous. Anything he says, posts, etc is all just a part of getting more money.

Our mistake was trying to placate him, but as you can see, he will do or say anything so I do not think we were too far off.

#7 UPDATE EX-employee responds

It simply isn't true.

AUTHOR: LC - (United States of America)

POSTED: Monday, January 07, 2013

I am no longer an employee of Ultimate Pet Websites, but was with them for several years, part of the time while this freelancer was used. Not only do his actions seem unprofessional, but what he's saying is simply not true. He didn't do what he was contracted to do; he didn't get the job done. I was working with the client that he was hired to assist and he didn't provide the quality of service that we expected. I understand that this freelancer may be upset, but there are more constructive ways to attempt to solve problems. Not to mention the fact that any future employers could see his comments and think twice about hiring someone who might act this way when they're no longer utilized.

RE: This is an overseas Serbian freelancer that we regret ever hiring and we paid over $1000

AUTHOR: team1 - (Serbia and Montenegro)

POSTED: Monday, January 07, 2013

Based on your title I made a little cut. I guess you won't mind? 

1. This is an overseas Serbian freelancer - Yes I am why does it matter now? It didn't before will I worked...

2.That we regret ever hiring - Why do you say that now? It was a weekly project not biannual. Everything what I did was reviewed by YOUR "designers family" and I always asked for confirmation if everything is ok or needed to be changed as they wanted. I was good when I worked for you, and now when I made my problem with you public now you regret. I can imagine why...

3. and we paid over $1000 - FINALLY some truth!!!! YES you did to be exact follow the link below>
https://www.freelancer.com/projects/Joomla/joomla-work-weekly.html 

As everyone can see my bid is ACCEPTED (green letter font color under my logo)

So lets do some math and small calculations (elementary school knowledge) $60 per week starting from 12.19.2010 until 03.23.2012, big numbers right, and you still owe me MORE than $1000. Right, simple math?
*Whats not included in this simple math is> late payments penalty and interest for making a refinancing of your debt what you agreed on in sept/oct 2011.

Get a grip.

#5 UPDATE Employee

Disgruntled freelancer

AUTHOR: CB - (United States of America)

POSTED: Monday, January 07, 2013

I have worked for this company since early 2011 and I have worked personally with a small number of freelancers to brain storm problems. We had to stop using certain freelancers as it became apparent that they were not doing the work that was being asked. All projects were, and are agreed upon ahead of time, any extra work is also agreed upon with the freelancers and ourselves.

We do not push freelancers then hold off payment. We ask the freelancers when they could have something done, we would let the freelancer know if something was urgent, then work with them on a suitable time frame for completion. Unfortunately a number of times we found work not done, but excuses made. Work was not completed and projects had to be given to another freelancer to complete so no money is owed to this person. The incomplete work was damaging for our relationship with freelancers and also for our clients when we would have difficulty meeting a goal.

I am a current employee for Ultimate Pet Websites and have been here
longer than what this freelancer is claiming to have worked here. We
have only used this freelancer a few amount of times because the work he
attempted to do for us was inadequate. All of his claims against
Ultimate Pet Websites are false.

#1 UPDATE Employee

This is an overseas Serbian freelancer that we regret ever hiring - We have authorities invloved.

AUTHOR: Bryan Wade - (United States of America)

POSTED: Monday, January 07, 2013

I am the design team member that worked with this guy. He is a Freelancer that we hired to fix some hacks. He is Serbian, and has been extorting us for extra money all the time. We tried to placate him because he access to our server, and he would threaten to post reviews and do things to our server if we did not pay him more and more. We hoped he would just go away. He creates false chat histories but we have the originals. At this point if he wants to post things we do not care. We are involving the authorities. The rest of our team will be posting soon with additional information.
