The website freelancer.com is designed to make money off of the freelancer mostly with occasional legit projects in between.

I think freelancer.com is creating ficticious projects easy enough for people to work on then credits your account and charge you a fee. They then claim the merchant was bad and take away your "fake" earnings while still charging you a fee.

If you just take a step back and look at the postings you can see that most are basic vague postings.( I grant there are legit projects) but most are really designed for you to "win" and charge you a fee.

They probably also play this game of taking your hard earned money be claiming bad vendor etc...

Either way its basically a scam site. Unfortunately, it has yet to be fully exposed.

In the meantime, you have linked your bank or credit card.

Answer this two questions:

1. Would you ever give someone from a spam email your account information?
2. if it looks to good to be true it probably is.

Still away from this site (fyi) username is fake below
