So we asked freelancer.com to refund. From August 2021 to March 2022 the company mentioned above did not refund...

Juliet Minter

Hello. I was contacted also by this Juliet Minter and also she scammed me.
After I paid to her the security fee/ workstation fee 20$ she proceeded to ask me for more money to activate it.
I had just 7$ in my balance at that time, so I told her I cannot.
She asked me to send her even the 7$ so she will activate it... I am in a foreign country and probably she will never refund my payment as she already told me......
