Hello, all writers i wanted use this opprtunity to alert you about something. There is a fraud roaming around freelancer. When you bid on their project. they tell you to add them on S-K-Y-P-E then they gives you this offer- -------------------------------------------------- I am looking for a writer with skills in seo and keyword based writing. Most of my topics are under the following categories; -Fashion -medical -business -automotive -sport -legal -computer & Technology -health & fitness -travel & leisure -foods & drinks -products reviews -home & family -transportation -home improvement -science & technology -writing & speaking -finance -reference & education -internet & business online -real estate, etc. I need someone who can finish a 500 words article within 1.5hrs and can atleast do 6 articles per day and work for 6 days in a week. My rate is $10 per 500 words article and payment is done on weekly basis via other methods outside of freelancer. NB. My topics are time sensitive and therefore it's one topic at a time. I mean the topics are done one after another and each topic must be able to pass copyscape(100% original). Can you manage that? ---------------------------------------------- So stay away from this one..they do not pay.

Hey colleague, Thank you very much for this information. These people are nuisance and they have made freelancer look bad because of their evil tricks milking poor hardworking people. Keep the information flowing, I hope freelance should figure out how to bar these people of their site. Thanks.

Hello, I think I may have run into this person. Your description sounds familiar and asked for link to my Freelancer profile and add to Skype. Not sure why they needed link to my Freelancer profile, shouldn't project poster be able to see my profile?? I contacted him on Skype to gather more info and asked for an example article (health and nutrition) which they provided. The article was poorly written, something more of an undergraduate college student writing a research paper. This person specifically was looking for someone from Philippines (didn't even spell country correctly). Never answered any of my questions that I asked, but was very aggressive in what they required. Articles within 2 hrs, 5-6 articles/day, 5-6 days/week. They asked when I could start, I stated May 5th. Then they said that wouldn't work out. I replied, "I misunderstood your requirements, your project description states bids close in 6 days". Here is link to the posted project: https://www.freelancer.com/jobs/project-13864524/ Thankfully, I dodged a bullet on a scammer. Although mine stated to track time on Freelancer and then use secured pay. Sorry to hear about your experience. Did you report it to Freelancer and what was their response?
