PROJECT BIDS: I used this website for almost 3 years and I have to admit my first year was good but after that things get worse even I tried their standard membership for 1 year but didn’t get really much project here, most of them are just fake and the worst part this is every time you get hired freelancer will automatically deduct 5% on your account even if the project is fake! You may ask for a refund but it is a case to case basis and not all can be refunded. (see attached image)
Some open projects are just like bots they keep on popping but no employers are responding.

CONTEST: Just last May I won a contest here it was guaranteed by the employer, the Employer by the name of Martin Dimitrov gave me lots of additional work and despite of finishing all it, the Employer stop communicating. The prize money was automatically transferred on my freelancer account but was cancelled by Freeleancer.com when I tried to withdraw it on my bank account.

Freelancer.com failed to verify the employers payment authenticity even it took almost 2 months from day 1 when the contest started. 

Freelancer.com canceled the employers account and got away.

Freelancer.com also deleted the contest website page where I won the prize due to security reasons they said, I find this quite weird.

I suspect that they only verify the employer’s payment authenticity after the contest handover is done. Imagine doing all the employers request during the contest and contest handover and after that, without warming you’ll just gonna find out that you got scammed? Do you think this is fair?

I attached some screenshots, try to pay attention also on the dates so you can see how long they respond.

This site is not safe, irresponsible and cannot be trusted.
