Management was not willing to explain why they terminated my tutoring profile suddenly. I was disappointed because I had built up a very good reputation with students on there. Not worth the time and effort to build a tutoring profile on their platform, if you ask me.

Yelp somehow got a hold of my debit card information, maybe because they offered me a free promotion to do some ads. However, after the so-called promotion was over, they charged my debit card over and over. I did not authorize them to auto-bill me carte blanche, so I disputed the charges with the bank. How can they auto-bill you, without your consent or some kind of auto-billing agreement?

Even when I pay for a sandwich, I have to sign off. How can they charge hundreds of dollars without authorization? Learn the definition of ethics Yelp executives! Folks, do not provide them with your account information!

As a business owner, I always make it clear on paper or through DocuSign WHEN I will be charging my clients and FOR HOW MUCH, and get their authorization to make those charges by obtaining their signatures. Yelp's carte blanche charging without a potential customer's consent is a good case for the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau.

Groupon offered was for 6 massages for $99. I have tried to schedule 3 times with lots of flexibility in my personal availability, and they have always not had a therapist available. This company is terrible! Don't throw your money away.

Hi Brian- we value your feedback, and please know the quantity of professionals vary city to city, and because we offer many booking preferences, this can potentially delay an on-site confirmation depending on the choices selected on the booking form... therapist gender, massage type, location, number of therapists required and any upgrade etc., so in a case where a booking may delay, we might need to offer some alternate options to confirm. Please reach us by phone 1.888.670.9995 Mon-Fri from 9AM-6PM EST or by email info@wemassage.ca and we will offer the appropriate assistance to expedite your next confirmation.

This website smells like a scam. Employers can post jobs without revealing their true identity. The website does not make employers have payment information on file before they post projects. Workers can start work without employer milestones. Employers are not required to fund the project, once it has been accepted. There are no internal controls! Avoid this website at all costs. Find a reputable website to do freelance work! There is eLance.com and oDesk.com. These sites have integrity.

Hello Brian,

My name is Marcus and I'm from Freelancer.com.

First of all, I would like to thank you for your feedback with our site features.
Since our role as a marketplace is to connect employers and freelancers, we give all users the freedom to decide how they wish to pay or get paid. Note that freelancers have the option to reject a project award if they do not agree with the payment proposal of their employers. Moreover, we always recommend to freelancers to ask their employers to set up an initial payment so they can utilize the Dispute Resolution System should there will be an issue. Employers are also advised to create a Milestone Payment for their freelancers for assurance that there's enough funds to be released after delivering satisfactory output.

We are committed to improve the services we offer to users like you and be assured that what you have just shared will be highly regarded.

I would like to hear more about what you have experienced so we can create a better experience moving forward. Send me an email with your username to marcusc@freelancer.com.

I hope to hear from you.
