I doubt it will do any good as PeoplePerHour tend not to listen.

The auditing of freelancers on the platform is clearly not rigorous as there are numerous fake profiles, fake locations, plagiarism, spelling mistakes, celebrities used as profile pictures and contact details provided. I have reported 5 in the last week and yet they are all still visible, one even promotes Fiverr. The report button does not work and plagarised content should be removed immediately not waiting 7 working days for a response.

If it is too much for your team to do proper audits (i.e 7-10 days to go live like Upwork) why not hire established freelancers to monitor their area of the market for you. It is frankly appalling what is happening. 

SIMPLY DO MORE TO PREVENT FRAUD!

  Hi there, 

  Thanks so much for sharing this with us, we really appreciate you bringing this to our attention and for making the time to report these profiles - we have passed this on to the relevant team to make them aware.

  We have also created a ticket for you and escalated this to a senior member of the support team to look into. Once they are in touch, can you please provide as much information as you can.

  We've also written a guide on how to report a profile here. 

  Thanks,

  The Community Team

  Totally oblivious as you don’t monitor when reported so your guide is useless and who working as I thought your team doesn’t work weekends for an initial comment to be sent

  PPH - we are well aware of how to report a profile.  We do it regularly.  Neither is there the need to create a ticket for original post.  If you were to read it properly rather than generating a copy and paste reply you'd notice that it's asking YOU to do proper audits on jobs posted and those posting them.  I'm so wary of anyone posting their first job on this site now as most are scams of some sort. It's damaging your reputation and NO, I don't need a ticket raised on this. Just please act on behalf of all your freelancers.
