Complaint Review: UPWORK.com

UPWORK.com should never be used and or trusted because this company practices illegal business practices.  I employed a freelancer to do a task and clearly stated what I wanted. The Freelancer accepted the offer, accepted the “start” payment and then requested that I pay in “full.” When asked where the “written product” the freelancer simply changed the process of the contract.

When the issue was presented to UPWORK, they requested a payment of $800 or so bucks to do mediation for a $400 gig. This is what they do to “stop” you from moving forward filing a suit. I see that I am not the only one that had trouble with bully freelancers that hid behind the coattails of Upwork.

Please lets all file a class action lawsuit. Please lets 1st file a Federal Trade Commission complaint and then do a class action  to stop their Unethical Business Practices.

1.    Do not use Upwork.com look for other venders where you have control over your project.

2.    Remember Upwork is to keep ALL money that been paid by the client and they will use a team approach to smash your complaint.

3.    Upwork.com loves their low-down dirty cheating freelancers who can’t get a job within any professional company. Just google some of the lawyer’s and paralegals names. These guys have lost their license and certification. In fact these legal people are breaking the law and Upwork is their pathway in taking your money under false pretenses.

4.    Upwork does NOT investigate the freelancer’s real location. They say they do BUT they DO NOT. Freelancers send in fake ids and fake paste and copy utilities bills of fake address. My freelancer lives and works out of the country but advertise that he is an American venders. This is really scary. When Upwork was informed of this they accepted “MORE” of the freelancer’s lies of deception.  Simply stated, DO NOT CHANCE YOUR MONEY WITH using UPWORK.

5.    The only way to teach them a lesson is to File a FTC complaint and File a class action lawsuit.   Please file complaint athttps://www.ftccomplaintassistant.gov/#crnt&panel1-1
