BAD EXPERIENCE
Freelancer.com aka Getafreelancer Is a Big Scam
This site is a big scam led by the biggest scammer Mr. Matt. I spent 6 years to send thousands of verified users to this site in order to earn some commissions. Then MR. Matt came and decided to change everything.
They now only pay commissions for the first 3 months only and they have hide this main point in the Terms of Service page. In the main affiliate page, you cannot see this info.
Anyone reading the content in the main affiliate page will believe that commissions are paid for unlimited time but this is not the case anymore.
Mr Matt is a thief. He is using scam techniques to get more and more CHEAP traffic. One of his schemes is CONTESTS that are now started all the time in GAF.
My suggestion will be to stay away from this site. Instead join Guru, Elance etc
The quality of projects posted at this site is extremely low.
Hello angilina. We’re taking the time to address your concerns here as well.
We believe that the Freelancer.com Affiliate Program is generous. Affiliates can earn passive income through banners, feeds and links on your blog, site or social media. Affiliates can also earn as much as 90% of project commissions and 10% of items sold on Freemarket.
If you can visit the Freelancer.com Affiliate page (www.freelancer.com/affiliates/), it clearly says that we pay Affiliates straight into their Freelancer.com account for 90 days. As always, we will endeavour to make the Affiliate Program even more attractive in the future.
As for our Contests, we are providing our users the chance to earn prizes and recognition for their efforts. We post their entries on our web site, on our YouTube channel, Facebook page and more. We give away hundreds of thousands of dollars in prizes to those who truly dedicated themselves to create award winning entries and we will continue to run more great contests in the future.
As to your concern about scam buyers, we’d like to assure you our dedicated teams are working non-stop to scan and remove dubious users. As of to date, there are more than 3.6 million users (and it continues to grow). We’re glad to report that we still have one of the largest pools of proven and very qualified freelancers and reputable employers. We assure you there are many great quality projects for you to bid on Freelancer.com.
When choosing projects to bid on, we suggest you make use of the Freelancer.com Reputation System before choosing a project to bid on. The higher the reputation an Employer has (5 Stars being best), the more reliable and reputable he/she is. Another good indicator of a trustworthy employer can be to view the User’s Reputation and how much effort they’ve put into their project listing, how thoroughly they have described the project, and if they have provided additional documentation to help you understand the project.
We hope that we have addressed your concerns and hope to see you use again Freelancer.com services. Thank you very much.
THEY WILL STEAL YOUR MONEY
LOW QUALITY!
After 1700$ earned, they made up some "security" reasons and ran away with my money! YES FREELANCER.COM not the actual job provider, I had to pay the guy directly.
Will NEVER work again using freelancer, only the losers use freelancer, that's what I learned.
Hope this will help people not to get into my trouble, Use oDesk or craigslist, to find your programmer, make it local, do not give money to this scam that "will make you rich"
Terrible experience.

freelancer.com is a scam. I had money in my account to pay a freelancer and freelancer.com suspended my account. I have no access to my account or the $500.00 that is in it.
I have terrible experience with freelance.com recently. I gave my project to a company claimed a USA based which has a USA IP address and US flag Logo on the profile. The company name is Creativedesign1. Creativedesign1 promised 12 days to finish,but only 20% finished if consider quality then 5% finished including a free extension installed through Magento connect. Even though, they never save a single copy of my store to my server in 12 days after they messed up template and extensions. The only choice I have is install a clean Magento again to re do everything over again instead uninstall malfunctioned everything. Their manager said they can fix everything and finish the project in next 5 days. I know I must quit them to avoid more damages, then it is your fault. It looks they are willing to make things beautiful but you quit. You don't quit them then another few days pain to have a nasty web store you dream your competitors have it, anyway you will be told job perfectly done as confirmed, you need to release the balance of milestone or start to argue again for more money to fix it. Anyway I quit the India based team with a USA flag and a creative designed profile.
We work our best to provide a safe marketplace for both our freelancers and employers. It is important when hiring freelancers to be clear with your expectations and payment arrangements. We encourage all employers to use our milestone payment system which protects both the employers and freelancers.

Hi Dvorak,
I'd say "Don't use them at all"! ;)
There are a lot of great, secured freelance services, but not that damn service Freelancer.com
I use Odesk and Elance more then 5 years, never had any problems with that services, and I earn and spend a lot of money there, because it works and I'm satisfied with it!
But with Freelancer.com - nope, it's just a scam to rob a people, unfortunately...
