I am sure some of you would receive emails from freelancer.com that you are offered a project by a client. DO NOT ever click any link or button stated "View and accept offer" in the email. If you do so like me, you will lose 10% of your money based on the offer price. Those clients who file the project and offer you directly are mostly unverified. They are out to scam you. Once the button is clicked, freelancer.com straightaway deduct your money and assume that you have accepted the offer. You do not even have the chance to check on the client project or read the project description. I have talked to their customer support, but none of them is willing to refund the money to you. The CS will ask you to contact the client yourself to get back the money and nothing can be done. In short, it is a trap for freelancers who are unaware how the links or button in the freelancer.com email works. If you are unsure whether to accept the offer or not, PLEASE key in the website URL directly and check from your dashboard. DO NOT EVER click any link/buttons provided in the email. You are bound to LOSE your money. You will never ever get to see the money again.
