 So I have recently took on a project through PPH and this was with a company call Blue world technology and I have had a bad feeling about all this from the start. Anyway the seller requested I pay the deposit and because I am new to this and this is my first project through PPH I did and then he asked for a "fee" and then more fee's kept creeping up to the point where now he has left me with nothing I don't have any money for bills or anything I have had a look for reviews on BWT and I have only seen 2 good a a lot of bad ones aswell. The seller told me to use a website called skrill to send over the money so I have plenty of proof that I have been sending over money to them. I have recently spoken with someone who has told me the sellers profile has been removed because they think he is a fraud and violated T&cs of PPH. So now I am wonder what the hell I need to get to get this money back. I am in desperate need of this money as I have kids and a car and a house to pay for. Morral of the story if I get a gut feeling I don't take it on! 

 

Help please!!!

  Thank you for your message. I have opened a ticket to see if there is anything we can do in this instance. We are sorry for the inconvenience this must have caused.

  We always recommend that you only pay invoices and release funds from the protection of Escrow through PeoplePerHour when you are happy with the work delivered; that is the purpose of the Escrow facility. Log all activity within your worksttream with the buyer/seller. Please discuss with the seller about this, if he doesn't agree to this then you may cancel it and hire another freelancer.

  Hope this helps.

  Please let me know if I can help you with anything else.

  Charge back, Skrill have no money protection as Paypal, but try to contact them may be they can help if these transactions are recent.

   If you use PPH you agree to terms that projects should be conducted via PPH only, including communication and payments, never pay for anything until delivery and acceptance, never pay outside PPH.

  One sec did you deposit money on PPH or paid the guy via Skrill.

  Skrill has nothing to do with PPH it's a payment processor similar to Paypal and many others.

  Skrill has no payment protection to my knowledge, so better to call you bank / card issuer and do the charge back , the best is to say that you did not authorize these transactions.

  You can also call Skrill, may be, may be they can do sth.
