I have completed my work and get paid through my client but I process the amount to withdraw the GURU.COm held my payment. Without any reason. I have written so many time there is no any response I got.

I have lost about $2000 on Guru.com. I have had freelancers lie and cheat, and misrepresent themselves. I paid for a website from a company that had a sterling 5-rating (which was lie aided and abetted by Guru.com) and they took my money and delivered nothing. I argued once again that this was both misrepresentation and fraud and that Guru.com should give my money and indefinitely suspend their account until things are rectified. I have contacted BBB and Guru.com has an F-rating (no surprise there) and I sent a letter to the Attorney General's Office. Has anyone sued these guys? Class action lawsuit all the way. Contact me: *******@yahoo.com

A couple of years ago I was scammed out of $600 by someone on Guru. When I reached out to Guru representatives, they said there was nothing they could do to help me, so I just had to move on with my life and deal with the loss. I have no job, so doing $600 of work and then not getting it was absolutely devastating to me. I still currently have no money, and now Guru has an inappropriate FEE just to verify your ID, which you are forced to do if you want to apply for any jobs. Not only do you have to pay them money just to verify your identity, but you also have to send them TONS of personal information that they should not need under any circumstances. They still let dishonest clients scam people out of $600 without doing ANYTHING about it, but we are the ones who have to verify our accounts and pay to use the website. I'm deleting my account. I lost over $600 to Guru and they refuse to pay me back. Don't use Guru!

I was a victim of a scam. Lost $1800. I was contacted by a "recruiter" Aja Gardner who sent me to an interview with a supposedly Human Resources agent from Mcmillan publishers. The agent made a one hour interview for the job and then sent me a check for $6900 for me to buy equipments. I deposited the check and as soon as I sent the first payment ($1800) to a supposedly computer retailer the bank bounced back the check. Everything was very professional, very well made...

I posted a job which was a google extension. I needed half a letter size of code. One gentleman applied for the job. I have suggested $30. He agreed on the price for coding this chrome extension.
Then, he asked me to chat on skype. I gave him my skype account. On Skype, he asked me to pay more money for the project. I said no and I stopped here.
I am not a pro of coding chrome extension but I am a pro in Javascript. It took me 8 hours to code the extension myself.
Then, I discovered it wasn't possible to get my money back. I was happy I only spent $30. I only lost $30
So, you may think I am stingy. However, If I would have spent $200, who say that I would have had something in return? I would have likely lost $200 in guru.com

I have been working with a "Guru" for over three months now with absolutely nothing to show for it. The level of incompetency I have witnessed from my Guru and the undeniably awful business policies of guru.com have combined to create one of the worst business experiences of my life. While I am sure it goes without saying that I will never use them again, I would like to go a step further and suggest that all guru.com users that feel the same way make sure to speak up ever more so that the site is eventually put out of business. I did my research before going with guru and wasn't able to find enough to dissuade me. I hope more people who feel the same will take a little extra time and speak up more about their experience.

I was scammed by a developer on the site. The support will not do anything to intervene.

The developer was indian registered as US based.

Worse is that reviews are HIDEEN and not shown. They will only show reviews if both sides write one, so the scammer can continue taking people money and get away with it as you will never see a single negative review.

Actually that developer has managed to make 127k US when I looked at his profile today. I think they are part of the same website.

Avoid them like a plague

A freelancer through guru.com was supposed to make a website for me. I paid money in several stages, each time the freelancer showed the result of the work. Unfortunately after a few payments the contact was broken and I applied to guru.com for refund. They also stopped responding, I applied for chargeback to the bank. The bank refused and guru.com simply deleted my account with them and they stopped responding completely. Worst customer service. Never make a deal through guru.

We did a project with a graphical designer for a shirt design, but the designer never delivered. However, guru.com assigned the escrow money to the designer. It is fatal for the trust of a website to touch the escrow money - we will NEVER use them again. We have using eLance for years with perfect results and the only two tries on guru.com were disastrous. It looks like the lousy freelancer work for guru.com. Just stay away from it.

STAY AWAY FROM THIS COMPANY SCAM

I FOUND SOMEONE ON GURU.COM TO WRITE A ARTICLE FOR ME, THEY SEND ME WORK WITH SPELLING MISTAKES AND 33% OF THE WORK WAS PLAGIARIZED, GURU.COM DID NOT CARE.

WHEN I CONTACTD GURU TO COMPLAIN AND GET MY MONEY BACK, GURU.COM TOLD ME THERE IS NOTHING THETY CAN DO ABOUT IT AS THE FREELANCER HAD ALREADY TAKEN THE MONEY OUT OF THEIR ACCOUNT,

I SAID WELL SURELY YOU CAN RECOVER MY FUNDS THEY TOLD ME TO STOP THE PROJECT AND I LOST HALF OF MY MONEY,

I ALSO WROTE TO THEM SAYING SO ANYONE CAN JUST OPEN A ACCOUNT ON GURU.COM AND SCAM PEOPLE,

THEY NEVER RESPONDED,

I FEEL GURU.COM ARE RESPONSIBLE FOR KEEPING THE CUSTOMER SAFE AND THE MONEY SHOULD NET BE RELEASED UNTIL THE JOB IS COMPLTED PROPERLY,

I WOULD NEVER EVER USE GURU.COM AGAIN AND WOULD TELL ANYONE TO STAY FAR AWAY FROM THEM.

Never use guru to hire freelancers. Guru is a website that encourage freelancers to scam the people. I have hired a web developer to develop a website for me, Guru asked me to put money in their safepay account to have the freelancer start working on my project. I ended up to be the fool to put the money in their safepay and once I told the freelancer that I am not satisfied with the work I received, he immediately filed invoice and collected the money. I don't know how guru gives him my money although he has no proof of delivering any work that I accepted. Please guys stay away from both Guru and their freelancers scammers.

Sadly I hired someone on this site to do my website.
He seemed competent in his description. After our initial contact, he asked for the first half of the money right up front, so I gave it.
After almost 3 months of not hearing much from him, he told me the website was done and to send him extra money for him to upload it, so I did, but it turned out that he never finished the site and the unfinished file he was trying to upload was not even uploaded properly. He demanded more money to feel motivated and finish the job. After days of stressing, I managed to get some of my money back, but I lost most of it. I would not recommend this site.
