Dear sir,
Please note that i have registered with freelancer.com more than a month back and got a project awarded the same day. I didnt know the rules and procedure completely but was happy that i got a source of income just the time i bid a project. The employer detailed me about the project and we communicated well the first day. He sent me project and also loaded money in freelance wallet and as per our contract, i have paid 10% after receive amount from him, he paid me near about rs. 57, 000 and i have given rs. 15000 thru paytm but late evening freelance deduct all my amount from my wallet. And also show balance as - 14, 468/- which should be pay by me to freelance

So request you please help me in this regard. I just want my money back which the website has taken, and i will just quit my membership from the site. I have all the relevant conversation screenshots. I can send you whenever you ask for.

Hi, i recently got debited 760 rs without any information on my icici debit card name of freelancer as mentioned in the subject, i really have no idea why it's been deducted from my account, how can they deduct without my knowledge it's totally unfair and also i have seen people complaining about the same thing please take necessary actions try to recover our money..

There's no accountability in this company, and they take as much money as they can get away with.in my opinion, they fall just short of being a complete scam.

The only thing they've got going for them is a review system, but who knows, maybe even that is fake.

They charge people upfront, 3% of any estimates on cost of work. They don't respond to complaints and concerns, or they take a very long time in doing so.

I've done business with them twice, both times were way below expectations. I will never use them again. Better alternatives are upwork, and codementor.

I got one client on freelancer and i work with them but he offers me to return 50% of the money from that project.

I return to that client but after some time freelancer.com make the reversal of that amount to the client means client get my work and his full amount.

I don't know what happens to me.
And freelancer team blam on me.

I want to block freelancer.com forever so feature freelancer will not have this issue.

Firstly, on 2nd may i got connected with one of their employers named alisia. She credited amount of ₹57600 in my freelancer account and asked me to pay through paytm on[protected] this number. And i was under impression that they cannot withdraw the amount from this app account. Bt after i paid ₹19, 500 they withdrawn the amount. And after that on 2 june through paypal they deducted the amount of ₹8, 096.95. I really need help. Please respond asap.

I have to submit complaint against a company named freelancer. They communicate via whatsapp only. I took a project from this company and they told me that i ave to pay rs. 999/- for registration.

After complete my project i messaged him for project submission id. Now, they don't reply my messages. Please take an action against them. I want my money back.

Hello. Are you still there?

I am working as a freelancer for two year. Now i found a big fault in freelancer website. I was awarded a project of 250$. The employer has released the first milestone of 250$. I have submitted his project to the employer. But within 3 hours the milestone is reverse back to employer. When i complained about it they said that the employer voilet our term am conditions that why the amount is reverse back. So please careful about it.
