Just registered a week ago, but very few appear to be genuine work as they make little deposit for the freelance work to get that done as soon as possible.
There are too many charges hidden by freelancer, initially they will allow you to bid for free, but not after 10. they will force you opt for membership, pay for placing the bid on the top, and the freelancer commission is obvious on work you done for them.
they even force you take some stupid pointless qualifications on english and other just to convince freelancer get higher chances of winning the bid which are not free. instead they can ask for qualifications a person holds or in a degree they have or in some relevant work experience they had in that domain
Maybe an illiterate can join freelancer, and claim he is university graduate. .
