I used freelancer.com site for a period of one year with a user name and password. I did my best to make a good profile at freelancer.com. I did six projects and got 5-star ratings. All of a sudden, I witnessed some illegal activity at my account with having a user name and password only with me. I reviewed bids were posted, projects were created and my total money available on my freelancer.com account was illegally used. I had this bad bad experience in this month and on July 8,2015 I was told my account was closed due to illegal activities. How is this possible for such an account which lasted for one year and had a balance of $120 with a good reputation of five star could be closed without any notice, without warning. Even I asked them to investigate what this site is, are they doing it at their own and illegally grasping all of my earned amount at my account at freelancer.

I faced this very bad experience at freelancer.com and request to other freelancers please be careful because freelancer.com is a big fraud. They are making money from illegal means. I paid all fees, charges of projects completed then why they closed my account and how they can do it without any inquiry. They held all the amount at my account and replied me today
