Ive been working on freelancer for four years and let me tell you, even if you learn how to not get scammed by clients, freelancer themselves will scam you. My funds got stolen and my balance went into negative 100 USD just because a client I had previously worked with 5 times before had suspicious activity and/or verification problems. There was absolutely no fault of my own in any of this and yet I got my money stolen. honestly stay away from this website.
