To any potential employers: DO NOT USE ODESK ! I hired someone off their site to do some writing and wanted a native English speaker.

What I ended up with was 5 pages of garbage and a $100 bill. I questioned the writer and subsequently found out that it was not the person in the profile.

I reported this to Odesk and asked for a full refund. Odesk has responded and said I need to pay according to their guidelines. I have since found many fake profiles and Odesk do nothing about it.

They will ALWAYS side with the employee so that they get to keep their commission.

This is not the first time I have had trouble with them. They also remove negative ratings from the contractors

Odesk FRAUDSTERS AND SCAMMERS O desk has been a complete disappointment and of course a financial quagmire. I am not going to give you access to another credit card so that you can scam anymore money from me. The freelancers completely overstate their capabilities. Sign contracts and then produce totally substandard childish attempts or in my case simply do nothing at all and then launch a complaint if I don’t pay them to sit in their hut somewhere in the nether regions of the far east. But the root of the problem is Odesk, their auto answer replies, attempts to placate the poor user long enough to grab their money and then tell them their opportunity to be further insulted has timed out. Well who or whatever your name is , as far as I'm concerned your entire web site and personnel are excellent at one thing, FRAUD. REDWOOD AKA Bangladesh Internet
