The issue should be resolved. May be Freelancer.com should be more supportive to the new freelancers looking for work initially. Like the steps and salient points before accepting any project

I did several projects as a freelancer with them, but have to admit, that support sucks more and more, in case real action required. Actually, I have a case, that client cancelled project, although I supplied almost complete work. There was a milestone payment for completion, but I did not receive any payment. Obviously, employer can cancel a fixed price project any time, worth several 100$ dollars, take all deliveries, and the freelancer receives NADA. No freelancer user name supplied, as revenge most lkely from them.

I'm done. My account is now closed.
April 13, 2018
Updated review

After being scammed and my attempts at recuperating my earnings have pretty much fallen on deaf ears, I have closed my account.

What I got from Freelancer was a whole bunch of shoulda, woulda, coulda. It didn't matter that I played by the rules.

I had thought of keeping my account open, but it is obvious nothing good will ever come from this platform so I will no longer be wasting my time. Besides, there are better, more honest places to get work and be paid for your efforts.

Work, but don't expect to get paid
April 11, 2018
Previous review

Freelancer is a breeding ground for scammers and criminals. They have absolutely no system in place to protect freelancers / sellers from doing work and not getting paid. What's worse, their care factor for this is also a huge ZERO. Other freelance type sites insist on the buyer paying a deposit so at least you know you will get some of the money.
I followed their terms and conditions to the letter, checked the client was fully verified, including payment verified and even used their timing app, which was supposed to be completely secured. What they failed to mention is that the client can remove the project and vanish without paying you.
I reported the problem and was basically just told to stop working. NO KIDDING! Did they really think I would continue working after being ripped off? Subsequent inquiries have been ignored so the only conclusion you can come to is that they are either incompetent or just as corrupt as the scammers they allow to register.
Also, their Bid Quality Score system is a joke. If you don't bid often enough your score goes down, yet half the time the available jobs are obvious scams or the job is advertised at an insultingly low price. I wouldn't be surprised if Freelancer pays people to bid low just to undercut the rest of the bidders.
I'm keeping my account open a little while longer just to see if I get paid. After that I'm gone.
