This freelance site is far better than most and had a few good jobs with no problems. I would never consider working by the hour since that is the typical slavery system that I left many years ago to become independent contractor. Besides, if they want to implement an hourly system, they should include a minimum hourly rate to get rid of the pathetic employers who post jobs at 1.00/hour. I even seen one job posting for. 20 cents an hour!

Good thing my nod32 stopped my download from this site, yes, this is a VERY malicious website that will try installing trojan's. Google should ban these sites.

This site was developed for the expat community in Yucatan. Mexico and boasts the use of freedom of speech. But then you will find that if you debate or give a bad review to any of the advertisers, then they ignore the free speech clause issue and will delete or not post your comment.

Basically, this site was designed for self-promotion for specific members only and you will only find good reviews about them since bad reviews are never allowed.

Do yourself a favor and stay away from any of their members or advertisers businesses from this site since they are mostly scammers from USA and Canada who will over-charge you for their services in comparison to local vendors.

Many members on Yolisto are realtors and construction companies who came down here because they got run out of their country for ripping people off! If you find someone local to purchase a home or construction service you will save at least 30% off the top. I know this as fact since I was very close to getting ripped off 30K for construction. Good thing I did my homework!

This site boasts 8 million users, the downside is that 7.9 million are scamming and fake accounts! I applied for over 100 freelance jobs and everyone expired! Then they tell you to pay money to take tests so you can win more 'fake' jobs. LoL! What a joke site and waste of time. I then tried cancelling my account because they spam you everyday but it is impossible to cancel! They must of got their ideas from Fakebook! I would love to see the actual financial books for this company, I doubt they make much money besides scamming investors since everything is pure fake!

Do yourself a favor and never sign up or you will end up killing off your email account just to get away from them. And do not give them your paypal account or CC number as they will try to steal your money since they have many unethical 'policies' for them to rob you blind!

After trying several other sites for a. Edu email account, this was the only site that gave me a legitimate. Edu email. The main reason I am giving this site a review is that I had trouble configuring my new. Edu email to use on Outlook and their support was very fast and my technical problem was resolved in a matter of minutes!
