Scammer
As a new freelancer on your platform, I've encountered a recurring issue that's been impacting my experience significantly. I've faced multiple instances where individuals have tried to exploit my services. Some have requested work without finalizing any agreement and then claimed it was just a test, denying any commitment. Additionally, a few clients have insisted on working outside the platform, rejecting me when I emphasized compliance with platform policies.
These experiences have left me feeling disheartened and pressured to complete tasks without fair compensation. As someone committed to upholding platform policies and professionalism, these situations have been disconcerting and affect my ability to connect with genuine clients.
I value the integrity of this platform and wanted to reach out, hoping for guidance on navigating these challenges effectively. I believe that by working together, we can ensure a more trustworthy environment for all freelancers.
I'd appreciate any guidance or assistance you can provide in addressing these issues. Thank you for your attention to this matter.

Hi Tanvir
Sorry to hear that you've been having this issue. From the sounds of it, you're doing everything right. Our platform policies are there to protect both you and the buyer. If a buyer is insisting on starting work without a deposit or trying to take communication off the platform, then you should not proceed with the project.
We're constantly working hard to identify any scam techniques that can be used through our platform and block any users associated with them. But, I reiterate, if you continue to follow our T&Cs and keep all communication on the platform, you will always be protected against any scams.
Best wishes,
The Community Team
