A couple of years ago I was scammed out of $600 by someone on Guru. When I reached out to Guru representatives, they said there was nothing they could do to help me, so I just had to move on with my life and deal with the loss. I have no job, so doing $600 of work and then not getting it was absolutely devastating to me. I still currently have no money, and now Guru has an inappropriate FEE just to verify your ID, which you are forced to do if you want to apply for any jobs. Not only do you have to pay them money just to verify your identity, but you also have to send them TONS of personal information that they should not need under any circumstances. They still let dishonest clients scam people out of $600 without doing ANYTHING about it, but we are the ones who have to verify our accounts and pay to use the website. I'm deleting my account. I lost over $600 to Guru and they refuse to pay me back. Don't use Guru!

Tip for consumers:
DO NOT USE GURU. Clients will scam you and Guru staff will NOT protect you. The only time they will communicate with you is when they are trying to charge you to use their site.
