FreeLancer.com seems to have an assortment of FRAUDULENT SCHEMES to HOLD and STEAL MONEY.
What I have experienced is first, You only have 2 choices to receive Payment for the Job that You work : Paypal or MoneyBookers (WireTransfer just bounces back to MoneyBookers). But, MoneyBookers is a Signup Service and CHARGES YOU for sending You YOUR PAYMENT.
But, what affected me is :
* First, They delayed 3 weeks before Supposedly trying to send me my Payment.
* Second, After I spent weeks or Working to an Assigned Project, and I Request to Withdrawal My PAYMENT, they State that they can NOT PAY to MY COUNTRY. This applies to BOTH Paypal AND MoneyBookers, (the ONLY Payment Methods that they have). But, they already had My Address before I started Working on My Tasks, but FreeLancer.Com did NOT tell Me that it was IMPOSSIBLE for FreeLancer.com to PAY Me.
So now, they keep MY MONEY, and I have WASTED WEEKS of WORK TIME for FreeLancer.Com WITHOUT ANY PAYMENT.
