I have used Freelancer on and off for a while now, at first i had a very negative attitude due to the way the employers behaved, they never seemed to ever be serious with their projects. Because i was a free user i thought they couldn't trust me with their projects, so i decided to upgrade my account... I promise you i see no difference.
Truth be told i haven't been cheated directly but due to the vibe i get from these employers. I decided to look for people with similar views and those that had got worse... so here i am.
