I have had it with freelancer.Com. I am over the scams, the taking of my money, the poor service. I am over it all.

So i set up a petition to nasa to get them to cut ties with freelancer.Com. Hopefully if enough people sign it, they will and that will shake up freelancer.Com (I doubt it though!!! They seem to be beyond repair!!)

Anyway, please sign it, share it, support it. You know the drill. Thanks.
