I have been on Upwork's Top Rated Program and have been a freelancer since 2010. Every time I have tried to work via freelancer.com I have been disappointed and I feel scammed. Long story short, they refuse to actually resolve any of my issues, communication is poor and they will not let me withdraw my earned money even though my identity has already been verified. To think, I actually paid them a monthly subscription!

I have proof of my verified status with this platform, proof I was able to withdraw already, and copies of all correspondence.

There is always some issue with them, but rest assured they charge my card and deduct their fees from my balance without a problem. I'm done trying to give them a chance, it is a horrible marketplace for hardworking freelancers, especially if you live in the US.

I have just filed complaints with various government bodies in Australia and will file more as I see which avenues are best for this situation. I will not stop until I get justice because this is much bigger than me or the money I earned. This is for everyone out there that has been cheated, manipulated, chewed up and spit out by freelancer.com. They are sneaky scammers and will continue if this goes on unchecked. I have since seen the forums riddled with unfortunate stories. Freelancer.com has interfered with our livelihoods and must be held accountable.
