Buyers Asking For Free Samples

I'm so sick of clients who ask for free samples from freelancers on this site. I don't mind a potential client asking to see a sample of work I have previously completed but there are some that outright ask for a sizable sample before they will consider accepting a proposal. 

The last one asked for a 300 word sample which is a small blog. For argument's sake, let's say this client can con 10 freelancers into producing a free test sample of 300 words, they can essentially get the project completed for free.

PPH admin it's time to put an end to this and strictly enforce a ban on asking for free test samples. It's not just robbing your freelancers of money they earn but the platform also loses commission.

  Report the client, there's a specific tick box to report clients who request free samples.

  Sometimes this is disguised as a test
