I am a prefferred freelancer on freelancer.com and all started off great but it does look like they are indeed a scam.

I was paid a 50% milestone from a client and completed 90% of the work. However I was unable to complete the job so offered the client a full refund (and let them keep what was done).

My account has been frozen with nearly double the money required to refund the client. Client has not been refunded and I have been unable to work for the past 3 months despite numerous emails both from myself and the client.

I am in the process of filing small claims court in Australia as well as making a complaint to ofcom here in the UK. It would be greatly appreciated if someone from freelancer could forward me to the correct person to help assist with these issues. I won't however hold my breath.
