Question:

How will i get paid? will i get a w-2 form for my taxes? how do i know that this is not a scam?

Answer:

I don't know why. They simply don't give any support and are not opened to negotiate. They just closed my account and don't want me as client. I'm using Freelancer.com instead and it works very well.

Question:

Is upwork a scam? they just ripped me off for $500 the freelancer accepted the job post, knowing he was not qualify for the job. i had to go on every day with multiples chats, emails, skype... i had to neglect my work, to explain the freelancer what to do... a job he was supposed to deliver in five days lasted nearly one month. at the end, he just stops working without any explanation. i file a dispute, but upwork just rules in favor of the freelancer. the freelancer gets to keep my $500, did not finish nor deliver the website. is that possible? cgo m. hall

Answer:

Sorry for your experience. I am a freelancer and everywhere, scamming happens. No one's safe. I suggest that, before giving a freelancer a job, kindly confirm their profile. No everyone there is a professional but I believe the profile ratings and feedback from clients can really help you out in choosing the best fit for your job. Thank you

I am searching for data entry job so can i trust on up work ?

Answer:

Yes! Register and get to looking! Be sure to read the terms of service and you will see how they protect your payment. Just never take a job with unverified payment. Verified means that employer has placed the payment into escrow and even if they don't want to pay you, Upwork will.
