Freelancer is out there to profit for themselves. If people are prepared to waste time and effort, and end up paying Freelancer.com ridiculous fees out of their own money, then the freelancer.com is the best site they can ever ask for. Freelancer doesn't protect its members. Also the paid money, is held into their account for ages before it can see the Bank Account of the rightful owner, if ever. The only reason this site survives is because of many newcomers hoping for a second income, and also the high rate of people from poor countries who can work for nothing hoping to make a cent on a Dollar. That is, until these people realize that is not worth it.
