If you are a freelancer, looking for
work and if you use freelance platforms like freelancer.com, elance.com,
guru.com etc then you should read it.
I have contacted them through their
corporate twitter and support email, there is no reply. So my advice to people those who are in freelance
platforms please be aware about such things. What will do, when there
is escrow or money in your account and they ask for such verification,
you will have to give, there is no other way. And as far as I am
concerned this site is not that much trustworthy as sites like
elance.com, guru.com, odesk etc. So if you provide your valid id with
your photograph, there is possibility to misuse it. So please keep away
these people.
Elance is world’s number 1 freelance bidding platform, and they never ask for such verification, in such scenario one should think, why these people ask for it.
So, my final advice, say no to freelancer.com. Good luck.
I use freelancer.com as I was looking for some work. I finished my first project and when I tried withdraw funds they blocked my account. They asked me to verify the identity.
They are eager to verify when I am having money in my account otherwise they are least worried when I was having nothing.

I never have seen such a verification
process from a website, this not a government agency to ask valid ID
along with your photograph holding the ID. This is the first time in my
entire life I have heard something like that. Freelancer.com is just a
bidding platform, and the company is based in Australia. So, what
assurance a person has that the ID with his/her photograph is not going
to be misused? This is ridiculous and absurd. They can not ask such
things, after all this is just a website.

This article is a reality. I had same thing with freelancer.com right now. Freelancer.com is a scam website.

ReplyDeletejust had to deal with this.
I earned $40 with so much hard work in a month and now I'm unable to withdraw because freelancer is asking for my ID which they never informed me about when I signed up. I saw the option but it was optional however now the support told me it's always been mandatory regardless of me knowing or not which is so wrong. This is total violation of my privacy rights
ReplyDeleteexactly. I am an Iranian and there is no possibility of Iranians registration.
ReplyDeleteBut I registered with a virtual number that after a while they asked me for identity documents. When I wanted to send my documents to them (but I did not do this), I saw that there is the name of Iran. Is not it a surprise?
