Star Outsourcing Kane Damion Asked for freelance work and never paid Los Angeles Calufornia
I was contacted on a freelancing website and was delighted to be offered fifteen dollars for 500 word articles. In the first week I produced 43 articles and the guy agreed the amount due and I filed a time sheet. The second week, a problem started. He was able to talk to me on Skype, and told me our contract had been temporarily suspended because of a disagreement with another writer on the same contract. He said I would be paid and that we should continue working. He also said that items should be sent via Skype rather than by the freelancer site workroom. I suspected this was due to the temporary dispute and carried on working for him. He gave me very hard tasks to do and I clocked up over 600 dollars worth of articles working none stop for three days from seven in the morning until bedtime. He has not paid. When I asked he took his picture off Skype and switched me off. He switched on again this morning and told me he had paid as promised last night and I should look at my accounts. I did and nothing was paid. I am waiting to see if my time sheet payment is made on its due date but doubt it. I have lost faith in writing online and the crooks who use writers and then drop them. If my content is not paid for I will be plastering it on the Internet with the story so people who bought from him will be aware that it's my content until paid for.

Kane has moved to Elance.com and is running the same scam - same $15 for 500 word articles. Fortunately, I only worked for a single day before I uncovered this ripoff report. Thanks for posting this! I wrote 10 articles for him. When confronted with this ripoff report, he blocked me on Skype. I next complained to Elance, who quickly investigated and closed his account. I am still out a days work, but thanks to ripoff report I have moved on. Keep writing! There are good people out there who value our work. Make sure escrow is funded on Elance before you type your first word. Good luck!
