Fraudulent User Rebecca R
CompletedI am new to People per Hour but Im getting extremely suspicious. The valuable lesson I learnt recently is that a Buyer and Freelancer with the name Rebecca R is going around asking people to sign up for an Amazon Audible trial and they will get paid $32. Well, I knew this was suspicious but she convinced me it was all real. Very SMART. I will never fall for this again.
She has now removed her account but please, I saw something like 10 jobs posted by this unscruplelous person who wasted my time but taught me a lesson.
Now for the 2nd thing. I am a graphic designer. A good one. But Im not a professional like most of the people on this platform who actually work for professional advertising and marketing agencies. I see a Job offer and within 10min, 2 AMAZING proposals are submitted. So, I now know what's up. Employees of professional firms and marketing agencies are on this platform and when a job is posted, the client thinks they are helping out a struggling freelancer when they are really dealing with a professional agency. I spend hours doing proposals, posting offers only to click and finally realize, how else would marketing and advertising agencies get business. They create platforms like Facebook and Instagram and Pinterest to get insight into our buying and spending behavior and interests. Then they create platforms like Freelancer and Upwork and People per Hour to attract the Public.
Nicely Done you guys. Very smart. I'm sure Salesforce will help all of you make lots of money while struggling out of work people like myself are desperate to make a small difference one logo at a time. I will no longer be spending my time on useless proposals when a professional with Photoshop, Prestashop and Adobe is ready to sweep up the client posing as a person.
Goodbye.
