I want to expose iCodeLance for what it truly is—a scam platform. And behind it all is Brent Hamburg, the main person behind this fraudulent operation. At first, they promised free withdrawals, but after I earned money, they started asking for a "mapping fee." Once paid, they told me to wait 2-4 hours. Then I received an email saying my bank account number was incorrect—seriously? Do they think we're fools, especially people from India? It's all just an excuse to keep your money and keep asking for more fees. Now, to make things worse, they've suspended my account and claimed I was abusive, which is completely false. I have no idea what they're talking about. If you're considering using iCodeLance or working with Brent Hamburg, STAY AWAY! If you need work done, DO NOT use this platform—pay directly to avoid getting scammed. Below are the details of this scam platform and a picture of the man behind it, Brent Hamburg. Protect yourself and others from falling for this scam. #ScamAlert #iCodeLance #BrentHamburg #ScamExposed
Don't pay to accept the job offer. Fake clients will message you to accept the job offer and tell you to talk to the support team. Fake website.
They post a project with 1500-2500 budget and when I quote with 4000 they just accept right away without any concern. Then they award the project and give me a deposit. Of course there is not any deposit. They ask me to send money to withdraw my deposit. $#*! platform.
One of the $#*!ing scammers and fake platform is icodelance. Do not believe them. Firstly they gave you 1-2 projects and ask you to make deposit to accept client project. This is $#*! fake. Do not transfer money to the name of Pushpendra Singh Chaughan👎👎👎👎
You work as a freelancer which means you decide which job you'd like to take, it's extremely flexible. The community aspect with other designers is like none other. The hardest part is not getting carried away with working as it can be very enjoyable and take some personal time out
Productive, hardworking and Labouris. I complete my work with fixing targeted duration as well as doing work on daily basis. For completion of work I also poses some more qualities like effortless, comfortless
While it is stressful, what job is not?
There are a lot of things that needs to be done, but more work means that the company is doing great.
Freebies are really great, like food, drinks, gaming consoles, and more.
Please don't put your valuable money in a fake freelancing platform like "ICodelance". I have deposited about $50 to accept the projects offered to me...
After 1 month the project was over, then asked to deposit $150 for bank MAPP and when I did not pay the money they suspended my account.
So... pls pls... I request all freelancers not to visit this website... it's just a fraud website to earn money... Guys, please beware of these crooks
Hi Guys, it is fake freelancing website, their team post the simple project with higher amount and award to you, when you accept the award they will ask you to deposit the 8% of whole project after that they will block your account and never you will get you money back. Please don't deposit any amount to this website.
Flexibility coupled with fast pace nature of freelance work is what defines work on icodelance. People are free to chose what kind of work they do and can ask for the remuneration that they would think to be fair for the job at hand.
You have to pay in order to get a job. You must pay for the job that you've applied for. You must pay for a membership. You pay for everything. You must pay for your CV to be seen first. You pay for everything.
Recently I got the lead from Facebook then I had approached Brent Hamburg Person and the client and I do chat on Facebook Messanger and Give me a Website and Mobile application project costing 7000$. And He told me that, he will pay only on iCodelance Portal due to the risk and I had agreed with him and I had created the profile on iCodelance, I am a new freelancer so, I don't aware of this Portal and that time iCodelance take 8% fees on the whole project amount then I deposited around $1644 to accept the project and that has been awarded to me. And he gave me projects one by one and I deposited the fees of iCodelance After that they made my account suspended. This my first project and a very huge amount of scams with me.
So... pls pls pls... I request all the freelancers not to go on this website... it's only a fraud website for making money...
I lost so so so much money... but you people pls be aware of these crooks
Every freelancer would have her or his own experience based on professional and communication skills. There's nothing to do with the platform mostly.
My experience with icodelance was great so far. I started with quite law rat and slowly increased it within 2 years. I believe that everyone can find a job there.
Earned my first $500, easy process, nice support, Productive and good. Happy to work. Gained experience and expertise, have time to do other things which I like, time flexibility while working and many more. Thank You
While it is difficult to land a contract, you can become very successful if you are focused and apply yourself. Very user friendly interface. Stress free payments from client, and fast withdrawal to your bank account
You can spend more time looking for new jobs than actually working on them. A lot of competition, but when you land a nice client it's really nice. Unfortunately, not exactly stable income for many
Work place is really good but now it becomes too much expensive and highly competitive to get new job offers and opportunities. I am almost thinking to go with a new platform with low job fee and provide some free bidding options.
ICodelance people change their versions every time you chat with them. I deposited around $1000 to accept projects that have been awarded to me... After that they made my account suspended and asked to normalize the account by depositing $750 more.
When I deposited that amount by arranging from somewhere... they told me that you deposited this amount from someone else... so you are not authentic and we can't refund your money...
So... they took all my money of total $2250 with them and again asked for depositing $750 from my account.
When I showed them the screenshot of their terms and conditions... they ignored it and said "sorry"
So... pls pls pls... I request all the freelancers to not to go on this website... its only a fraud website for making money...
I lost my so much money... but you people pls be aware of these crooks
They take your money and never give it back, Please do not trust good reviews for this site, those are fake reviews posted here and other sites as well.
For developers they ask to deposit the amount to accept a project(they say its refundable) via UIP, the fake client(Brent Hamburg from Facebook) talks for 3-5 days then vanishes. Then to cancel the project they ask you for more money (proof in pic). I am filing a complaint in cybercrime India.
If guys from ICodeLance are reading, Mr Bhavesh Suhas Barhate (M: 9-0-9-8-4-0-5-2-0-7) you are gone.
This is my first trial o work remotely and willing to find more job opportunities perhaps with the option to relocate to US. Freelancer with lower hourly rates from far east and other countries where costs of living is lower get the most jobs.
