easysunny:


Pls I need clarification. Am a newbie at upwork and freelancing generally. You people are doing a great job.
Is it genuine and possible to accept payment outside upwork after interview? I submitted proposal and this guy invited me for interview through Skype. As we reach agreement on the job, he told me that they pay weekly and it's through either skrill, PayPal , payoneer or direct transfer. That I should specify which one.
But I insisted that the payment should be through upwork and should go ahead to hire me from there. I sense foul play.
Am I right?

Lol, these kind of guys are much. Ask him to set up a milestone or pay a deposit before you begin and watch him Delete you off skype. Some of them appear reasonable but they are all the same.

Did you know that with UnionMobile & UnionOnline, you don't have to worry about weekend banking. You can top up your phone lines, pay utility bills and carry out transactions

freaking useless online banking capacity. where you put in your password and it still doesn't work? there is no how u don't work for union bank. your online banking sucks trash.

wesley80:

The support for Skrill ends in April, till then, Skrill remains a withdrawal option for freelancers.

But if you are a newbie, you can't find the option to link your skrill anymore.

GUYS I NEED HELP URGENTLY, I HAVE TWO UPWORK PROFILES, ONE IS A NIGERIAN PROFILE WITH MY ACTUAL PICTURE WHILE THE OTHER ONE IS A UK ACCOUNT WITH A RANDOM WHITE GUY'S PICTURE.

THE NIGERIAN PROFILE HARDLY GETS INTERVIEWED, HENCE I MAKE LESS THAN $100 A MONTH, SO I CREATED THIS UK ACCOUNT, AND HAVE MADE OVER $2000 IN LESS THAN ONE MONTH.


BUT MY BIGGEST CHALLENGE HAPPENED THIS MORNING, WHEN I TRIED TO BID FOR ANOTHER PROJECT. GUYS, UPWORK IS ASKING ME TO DO A VIDEOCHAT VERIFICATION WITH THEIR CUSTOMER CARE AGENT. OTHERWISE I WONT BE ABLE TO BID FOR ANOTHER PROJECT.


MY BIG QUESTION IS THIS, CAN I WITHDRAW THE MONEY I'VE MADE SO FAR FROM THIS ACCOUNT WITHOUT HAVING THEM BLOCK IT. BECAUSE IVE NOT EVEN SET UP A WITHDRAWAL METHOD YET. I TRIED DOING THAT JUST NOW, FIR SOME REASON I CANNOT FIND THE SKRILL OPTION. ANY EXPERIENCED PERSON SHOULD PLEASE HELP ME OUT.


YAY MY MONEY O..



P.S. MY HOURLY PROJECT IS STILL ON, AND IT'S STILL COUNTING.

For the withdrawal method, I think it has to do with the fact that skrill is no longer supported. Try using another. for the verification. well.....

Bloody scammer. keep ignoring my calls and keep loosing business. refund my money or get me a replacement.

Buy anything from this man at your own peril.

This fraudster. Buy anything from him at your own peril. he sold me a power bank for 9k that didn't work past a day, promised to replace it and stopped picking my calls.

Better refund my money or come and replace the rubbish you gave me.

Till then, its the two of us on nairaland. rubbish.

Lol, of course hitting a woman is wrong. But I don't see the level I would bring myself to that my gf would start slapping me.

I blame you, No offense but i feel if you carry yourself with respect your gf won't go about hitting you.

But if I am to speak realistically, At this point of my life I don't know how I would handle it. The last girl that slapped me was when I was in secondary school and I returned it with bonus.

No way to reach you. sent a pm though.

.

leave the bread and the milk there. keep changing the milk each day as it as it gets spoilt. dont put sugar in it. when its really hungry it would eat.

Its new thats why. if you want something that's gonna work for sure. try fish, but don't let it get used to it so it dosnt start stealing. you need to leave the food and go do your thing. trust me it wont starve itself.

wadetaw202:


It is now so bad that you are even begging people to comment on your thread. You sound so desperate. This desperation nay continue until you stop paying your writers peanuts.

The poor writers do all the work and get peanut. You that do little or nothing gets the lion share.

Your behaviour is more or less complete wickedness and greed.

Lol, I think he's Calling on us cos most of us don't know what's going on. Agreed his rates are not high but at least he pays. I have written for people who offer higher and won't pay after writing for them. Just let folks that are interested write. I write for him still, even thou I have other things doing, it helps still.

When she i told me am pregnant and i was still in ss2, and her father was already aware. You know the rest how e dey be......

oh wow.. did you stick to her?

I am trying to imagine mehn. painful af. It's not easy but move on, if it were me I would just show my face so she knows I nabbed her.

No need for drama and all, you know wassup, you were saved from could have been worse in future like what are the odds it had to be the same compound you stayed she came to?

So has anyone ever dated someone you felt you would end up with but you got into so much trouble you had to just reconsider your life choices?

mine goes like this, I met her.. we started dating and all, our parents weren't aware. we had different beliefs but my parents were sups to be stricter.

Anyways one day my parents found out about us, the outcome was even the opposite of what I expected. They were cool and just warned us about the repercussions.

All was going fine till her parents found out.. I have never been so scared in my life..
I was almost arrested, I was threatened, infact ehn all those romance movies you fight for love issalie o. When Nigerian police should daze you then you realize life isn't a movie, anyways we had to free .

anyone had any similar experience? do share

wailing:

just 40k

heard it was 30 self. and you go work scatter.

yes it's real. I hope you know how to use excel flawlessly though? They will giv3 u Lappy. don't blow lie and flop like me

I once stayed with one girl for four days, she slept all day, I cooked and did the dishes n even served her join but yet she didn't lift a finger. granted we were not dating nor married but she was a very silly human being.

lts not by force yes but it's just common sense. even if I as a guy goes to visit someone, my babe perhaps I will at least assist somehow.

so cos we are not married u will eat like a beast, I will clean up after u and shit cos it's improper to clean a boy's house? y'all still be getting dumped and be wondering what happened. Painful thing Is that the babes with this stupid ideology are usually ugly and broke.

cos i see a girl who is sexy af dosent mean i would give her the world. The girl i might end up giving the world may not even be half as sexy as that girl. love is different from admiration, cos they admire you does not mean you are worth getting inconvenient for.

some people here are not even trying to be factual.
Some girls do that thing and its very annoying, you are dating someone and yet you are hanging out with someone who likes you claiming friendship and the guy should be cool? what she did was very wrong and she has no respect for her bf.
wtf which kain food monger are you dating self, they will use food to carry that one inside room.
so the one time you had no cash she moved to toaster, issokay. if you were not in the office with her its a diff case but u are there...this is a no bra
iner this babe doesn't send you and biko you are not over reacting abeg.

lol all these babes won't confess now.
you added him cos he was innocent or cos he was fine?
issokay, personally I know scammers use people's pictures and it may not be the same guy.
Then again, that's what Skype Is for, next time if u meet someone online u haven't met biko Skype first so yunno whatsup, Skype will at least show his face even with battered network..

Seems the email address is wrong.

cloud9usher:
Mr PatrickOkunima I think even if you are not a fake you are still gonna be cheating the writer with your stated terms.

Let's do the math, 7 articles a day, for 5 days a week the writer would write 35 articles a week and 140 articles a month. For a 6 days a week writing plan, that is 42 articles a week and 168 articles a month.

Let's take the average of what you intend to pay, which is N40,000 a month. Calculate that, that's like a paltry N285 for one article. Like seriously? N285 for an original content? I wouldn't even take N285 to copy and paste articles off the internet for you let alone giving out my original content for N285 an article. Nigerians like you are the reason why this country is backwards.

Lastly, Nairalanders, please be very careful about these set of people who request for writers, 99% of them are scam! They get writing gigs on other online platforms, then come here posing as an employer, they give you their writing gigs topic as the test topic for you to write on and prove your competence and after you submit your original content they fly away with your work and submit them and get paid on the platform they got the writing gig from, they get paid off your sweat. Some 'employ' you and let you work your ass off for them for a month and when it gets to pay time they vanish. Pure wickedness!

Anyone who is genuine would pay you per article, even if they pay just N1,000 per article let them wire you the money before you write another. Internet and mobile banking has made payments very easy so there is no excuse. Never wait to get paid at the end of the week or at the end of the month. And also, never take a test article on a topic suggested by the so called employer, they can assess you by your previous works or you pick any topic to write on for them to assess your competence.

Stay blessed guys.

Asin I have always suspected that's what most of them do, it's just so hard getting the source directly. I feel some of them even give different applicants different topics as test just to rip them off.
I also sent him an article, no response till date. it's well.

when a relationship is over and u guys don't even take space before freignin friendship it's bound to fail. moreover friendship between exes only works cos one of u likes the other still. why are you guys calling each other exactly? can't you both just take a Lil break and then later ease into it? perhaps u could make the calls shorter.. way shorter.

Walexwal:

thanks.
1. Assuming u have like 200 birds and all r laying daily(which is not possible) u shd b expecting like 6 and half crates. But if u r seeing 3 crates daily that is like a little above 50%

2. it takes approximately 24hrs for a bird to complete an egg production sir.

does the weight matter before they lay? no one wants to answer me. mine are heading towards 5months. I haven't seen any Egg o, any idea as to what they should weigh by now?
