Reactivaiton of lost account
May 7, 2025

Team helped to quickly reactivate my verified by freelancer account. I was kind of lost for a week after deactivation of my freelancer account by accident. I opened another account and reached the team to activate my actual account. Hurray! Team has reactivated my account in a less time. Kudos to the team. Great day all

I participated in a contest on Freelancer, investing significant time and effort into delivering a high-quality project. However, the contest holder set a very low prize for a project that required extensive work. Despite fulfilling all requirements, the client disputed the contest, which felt unfair.

Freelancer's dispute resolution process has been slow, and I feel that freelancers need better protection in such cases. Clearer contest guidelines and a fairer resolution system would improve the experience.

I hope Freelancer takes steps to support freelancers who put in genuine effort and ensure that contest holders offer fair compensation for the work required.

I had a verified account on Freelancer. Com with a paid premium membership and available balance. Out of nowhere, my account was suddenly closed without any prior notice, warning, or clear explanation. I received only a vague message claiming I violated their terms, but they never gave me any details or proof. I contacted their support multiple times and submitted a ticket (ID: *******), but I was completely ignored. I lost access to both my membership benefits and my remaining funds. This is completely unfair, especially for a platform that deals with people's money and livelihoods. I have reported this issue to the Internet Crime Complaint Center (IC3. Gov) and will continue to raise awareness so others don't face the same issue. Freelancer. Com needs to:
- Provide users with transparent reasons when taking such actions
- Offer a proper appeal process
- Respond to support requests
- Refund money when services are not delivered

Russell is an abosulte scammer
April 4, 2025

I was promised a verified badge that I never received.
Russell who's last name is secret, which should've been the first indicator of him being a scammer, is heavily hurting the reputation of freelancer com and committing a crime by not refunding something he did not deliver.

Slow in responce to my message, Not friendly
March 29, 2025

As a verified and preferred freelancer on Freelancer.com, I recently faced some issues with the verification process. After sending messages, I often received delayed responses—sometimes after a day or two. When I finally scheduled a verification meeting, I was informed that I had not been selected for that time. Despite asking if there were any issues, I received no response until the scheduled meeting time, leaving me uncertain whether to attend or not. Unfortunately, the meeting itself was unfriendly and felt unprofessional, which seemed inconsistent with the standards of Freelancer.com. Moreover, my verified badge was removed, and I was restricted from bidding on certain projects, despite agreeing to renew the badge when prompted. The renewal fee was charged, and I understood there was a 14-day grace period before the badge would be removed. However, the badge was still removed, and the renewal process took an unusually long time. Please note that my intention in sharing this experience is not to criticize the platform but to provide constructive feedback to help improve the verification and renewal processes. I hope these observations are taken into account for better service and smoother experiences for freelancers.

Freelancer Support service helped a lot
April 7, 2025

When I tried to authenticate my payment method my currency wasn't listed in the website and used one, from the list given. So, I did enter the value that was charged by converting my currency to USD, and that value was wrong. Then I asked for support, and from the general support service of Freelancer, Xavier B informed me about its procedure of how the currency should be mentioned. It helped a lot and I was relieved by those words. Thanks a lot!

Issue with my subscription
January 8, 2025

I had an issue with my subscription, and I contacted Freelancer's customer support team. I was assisted by a representative named Angie, who handled my situation with great patience and professionalism. Angie took the time to explain everything clearly, and helped me cancel my subscription.

I really appreciate the effort and support provided by Angie. The issue was resolved smoothly, and I am grateful for the excellent service. The team was attentive and made sure all my questions were answered.

I highly recommend Freelancer's customer support, especially if you face any issues or need assistance. I will definitely be more careful with my account in the future, thanks to the helpful guidance.
