I hired someone from Guru to do a website for me. Guru required that I put money in the escrow of $615.00. First, they made two small deposits to my account for verification. I verified the 13 cents and 20 cents that were posted to my account. I then transferred $615 to them. After, they requested, my bank statement, cashed checks, voided checks and numbers associated with the account. My bank advised against providing them with all the information that they were requesting but went ahead and provided them with it.
After receiving the information, they blocked my account and told the person I hired to do the work that the money was returned to me because I did not provide verification of account. Fortunately, I had the private email and phone number of the person I hired. I contacted him and provided to him the detailed information of the money I transferred to Guru. When he confronted them with the information, they told me that my bank should request for my money. Wells Fargo my bank told me that since the money was already paid, there was nothing they could do. I spent several days trying in vain to get my money or have the money I sent paid to the person I hired. It was a fruitless effort.
This is my first review of any business. I want to write this perhaps someone may not have to be scammed as I was. Please read other reviews, if I read perhaps I could have avoided them. If you have to use them, please request and get a direct contact number and email of the freelancer just in case they block you out.
I wish you all the LUCK IN THE WORLD if you have to use them.
