First I would like to say Freelancer is legit. I mean real employers are able to look up real freelancers, hire them and pay them.
I have worked with freelancers as an off jobs and have made over 500$ that I have been able to cash out.
However people that decide to work at freelancer need to do there due-diligences. This company is not perfect, and there are some flaws with the system.
I hope with time the freelancer support team will work even harder to correct it's reputation.
That being said Freelancer is not a scam and if you use a little common sense you should be fine!
