I spent 700+ dollars on ODESK to build links for my company. I was somewhat illiterate at the time but found a website that scored websites features such as links. I searched my site to find zero links had been created despite being told hundreds of them had been created. I contacted the company and they basically told me that you can only stop a freelancers pay. Once payed they have your money and ODESK gets their cut and you just were took by corporate crooks.
Hi I am a member of Odesk since 2012. For the last 3 months, I earned thousands from providing good service to my clients. Odesk decided to permanently suspend my account without giving me any reasons. I have contacted them, their customer service, I tried to call them, but no one can answer my simple question why my account was suspended? It is my right to know what is the reason? This is unacceptable, I ahve 3 ongoing clients and they need me but because they suspend my account I can't work with them. I tried to send them many emails but they can't even tell what I need to know. Aside from that, the most disgusting part is that they put on hold with my earnings which is my effords and hardship for the last 3 months of working. I asked them, what can I do to get my earnings but never answered my question.
Odesk, should release any available balance I have since I work for it. It's their right to suspend account but it's my right to get what I own.
I want odesk to realease my available earnings then I can close my account or they can do whatever they want to do.
A scam artist devised as a service provider (Web programmer - Amju Verma - ThreeGInfo - [email protected] ) convinced me to change from ELance.com to ODesk - the reasoning for this is that with ODESK they charge your credit card and pay the scammer automatically without your consent, approval nor knowledge.
When you sign up with ODESK they require credit card information and when yor attempt to hire someone that person is then in charge of your money - they have the ability to put through charges and even when you complain to ODESK they ignore the issue and allow them to continue to process charges.
ODesk then closes out your complaint and will not allow you to contact ODESK nor the scammer any longer and you cannot rate the scammer.
It has taken me months to try to get my monies refunded and CHASE Credit cards have continually refused to refund my monies for services that I did not even get.
Odesk is set up to rip people off - they have no concern for the people hiring the talent and they have even less concerned with having a website that is condusive to resolving disputes and identifying scammers.
Are they working for these scammers - It really appears that they are - why would they close the dispute and refuse to allow any additional information? WHy would they allow scammers to charge without the customer approving it?
I would strongly suggest that everyone look elsewhere for contractual hiring of services.

I just want to get what is supposed to be mine.
