Hello freelancer's earners.

I just got a project from an employer based in UK but his country indicates Netherland on his freelancer profile.

He's requesting for me to pay a refundable of 44£ before giving me the job which is "rewriting a PDF document of 22pages to Microsoft word" at 20$ par page.

I'm suspecting him to be a scammer.

Please, I want to know, are the employees paying security fees before landing their projects on freelancer?

I will like to hear and learn from the experts.
Thank you.
hahahahah scammers

Freelancer is a great place for fraudsters. The site does little to curb the menace that's why there's proliferation of fraudulent activities.

Another bad side of the platform is that there are a lot of low pay jobs on it. As a tip avoid working for Asians (or anyone with Asian sounding name - even if their profile shows they're from the United States or Europe don't work for them).

When you're offered a job try to know who owns it. If the job is owned by a third party who you cannot communicate with then reject it. Such jobs are not worth your time.

Lastly, before you chose to work for anybody, ask them to create an milestone and fund it first before committing your time to the job. Do not take any test - it is a popular way of scamming an unsuspecting person.

Thank you for this info....


DonX001:
How can you "gawk" yourself like that??
You're even considering it!
No even think am!!

That's the oldest scam in the book, even if the account is verified and as old as Methuselah with 5,000 5 star reviews, no think am at all!
People can build accounts up and then use it to scam people because they've gathered credibility, happens everywhere. They just message a lot of freelancers with the same message, pack plenty money from the gullible ones, and disappear.

If you go dull yourself, your money flies through the window.
Report the account with evidence to the freelancer platform admin.
I'm surprised people still fall for this in this day and time.
Or are even considering falling for it. Imagine!
