As Lykke Li sings: I'm good, I'm gone

I had some really nice customers, interesting projects, and my customers all paid me fully satisfied immediatly and left 5-star-ratings only. But now the freelancer.com "support" got me down, too.
When you find this Blog you probably searched for "freelancer.com experience", "freelancer.com scam" or similar and found plenty complaints about their service, their mistreating their customers as well as their freelancers: and they all was right! I wish I had just searched and believed before I wasted so much time in work I didn't get paid for.
I am an honest freelancer, reliable and delivering just well done work. And therefore I refuse to work for that shady company anymore, leaving that site to the tricksters.

Freelancer.com stole my money and my time

Yes, this is another "I'm so mad"-Blog, but I promise I will try to be witty, not bitter, documenting, not ranting (haha, just kidding: I will rant!). I will tell my story part after part to sample the pleasure of every little detail – from the mug-shot to the analphabetic "support". Okay, analphabetic is a complaisant assumption, more likely they are just part of the criminal system, there to play along, demoralize, spam with unrelated text modules and auto-replys until you give up, but thing they will never do: give you support.

Make it public, file complaints to the officials!

All the Blogs, Facebook groups, Twitter and Youtube channels are important, although you probably searched for that when it was too late, so don't forget: make it not only public, make it offical! I know it's difficult to figure out where and how, mostly (like me) in a foreign language, under the law of a foreign country and all that effort for maybe only fifty dollars: but the question is not "how much", but "how many"!

Secret fees for services that are advertised as FREE, FREE, FREE*
*Oh, sorry, that was a typo! We wrote "free" six times by accident, we ment: it costs 5$!
And you all paid it, displeased for a moment, but then told yourself, "it's only 5$... maybe i overread something... lets move on". You are not the only one, you aren't inattentive, it's just the system to hide and deceive, greedy for every penny they could lay their filthy hands on.

So what is this going to be here?

Here comes you own watchblog, freelancer.com! I will not only tell my personal story here, I will document every filthy trick: those that are statet in the terms and conditions (like the snowball-system... you now what I'm talking about, aren't you?) and those, that are written down nowhere (Too embarrassing? Noooo! Can't be, you guys are normally shameless?)
If you want to participate, found that there is a link missing or just want to tell your own story please feel free to leave a comment and I will come back to you as soon as I find some time.
