Freelancer.com — Theft

Address:/ Freelancer Technology Pty Limited (ACN 142 189 759), Freelancer, Level 20 680 George Street, Sydney, Australia
Website:www.freelancer.com

We are a Consulting firm and wanted to use freelancer.com services in August 2021. On their platform the client pays when he hires a freelancer on the platform. After the deposit was made, we did not hire anyone. It was not possible to hire for a simple reason: after freelancer.com received the ID, they did not verified the account. So we asked freelancer.com to refund. From August 2021 to March 2022 the company mentioned above did not refund our deposit. They pretended they would, but they did not. They changed the settings of our account; it was then not possible to withdraw the deposited amount.

They are spying on us although we are not their customer, which is very weird, illegal and a crime. We are a European registered firm and the administrator of our account on freelancer.com is an African black female Student and intern. Freelancer.com indirectly insinuates that a young black student has no right to be international or to work for an international Consulting firm. This is an indicator of discrimination and racism. Let us also stress here that we are not users of their platform consequently their spying activities are illegal.

Freelancer.com support Team purposely created all sort of technical manmade issues to keep our deposit without our consent. They persecute us for our own property.

After 8 months of patience we realized that freelancer.com does not want to refund. What they do, must be called by name a systemic: Theft, defined in section 134 of the Criminal Consolidation Act 1935 (SA) as being where a person deals with property dishonestly, without the owner's consent and intending to deprive the owner of their property or make a serious encroachment on the proprietary rights of the owner.

We have decided to publish our story and also to take legal steps against freelancer.com
