Marketplace for Developers
Scammed by ODESK Develope

Listed here is my conversation with ODesk after being cheated to get a complicated task which was never finished and that I settled 70% of the upfront charge rather than the 30%. ODesk didn't raise a hand.

Nov. 20

Hi,

I'd employed Kim Coppens from Cybinternet / Cybtechnologies in Belgium and in the last a few months I Would noticed hardly any improvement with my site from bad development of easy types such as the contact types and register types to him declaring 90% of the web site is nearly total when in really he'd just 10% of the web site filled with numerous errors. I was thus frustrated together with his bad craftsmanship that I went into the site myself and reprogram the websites to ensure they worked correctly.

I examined the builders account on ODESK and excellent to my shock the account isn't any longer productive. Furthermore, the organization had saved all my documents from my FTP and chose to focus on a distant area.

On numerous instances the creator mentioned he would add my documents so we are able to equally check the web site. It's today per month later and that I haven't noticed any improvement. Additionally, I'd approached the creator equally through e-mail and IM but still used to do not get a reaction.

After focusing on the web site he mentioned that it had been distinctive and difficult. Nevertheless, I'm truly mad since the idea I had been having him focus on wasn't yet observed in the social media marketplace and that I had overpaid him for that work and he's not answering my emails.

Following The developer exhibited bad craftsmanship and bad focus on depth, I chose to decrease the creatoris degree of function which was contained in the fixed-price since I didn't experience he was certified to focus on an internet site of the marketing.

Easily don't get a reaction in the creator within the next day or two, I've no additional option but to get hold of the national business fee to record the organization.

Is there anyway I will obtain a reimbursement for that overpaid part? I will supply all encouraging e-mails between me and also the creator

I've performed further study and recognized Ellie Coppens transformed his title to Kim C. Creating his account harder to locate within the search engine results. I've approached the creator many times of course if I don't notice an answer from the end-of the week I'm likely to contact the FTC and publish all supporting documentation.

Nov. 26

I've finished the task since I've approached the creator numerous occasions regarding without any reactions which task and it is way late.

After studying his bad feedback on his Odesk site to get a complicated task, I recognized he wasn't prepared to focus on a project of the difficulty and in the place of him declaring that after he explained the web site was challenging and distinctive, he'd fooled me in thinking he might get the job done (after I required a complete reimbursement) and had 90% of my project finished when actually he'd no more than 10% finished with numerous mistakes on easy types that the developer ought to be ready to plan properly and nothing worked correctly. I had been so discouraged that I'd to review his documents and continuously get into the types and proper everythng myself and that I am not really a developer—the types function beautifully.

Recently, I'd delivered him an IM while he was online and in the place of him reacting he simply recorded down like he was attempting to prevent me. I settled to truly have a support make and not just did not he finish my task but he's not answering my emails. He's clearly dealing with more tasks then you can certainly manage. Along with that, in the place of spending 30% upfront I settled 70% upfront.

I'm declaring a study with my charge card organization and provide all supporting paperwork since this really is unjust business training and that I will soon be damned if he operates with my cash and did not finish the task.

Simply because his is found in Belgium doesn't avoid me from processing case as well as in the U. S we've regulations in position to safeguard us when doing business globally as well as for illegal business methods.

I'm likely to begin with processing a study with my charge card organization after which document a study using the Federal Trade Commission and provide all supporting paperwork in the businesses he operates for to anything I've you and our communications.

That Is truly unjust and that I shouldn't need to miss out on cash since he couldn't get the job done and in the place of him acknowledging to it, he's making me more disappointed and extending the task after I may employ new builders.

I'm an extremely careful and comprehension individual and that I experience like a creator, he must consider excellent treatment when focusing on tasks. More critical, he exhibited bad focus on depth and bad development on easy types that me like a low-developer needed to examine his documents and correct his mistakes. I actually needed to plan some types to lessen his work (they function beautifully) which was contained in the cost and also to accelerate the procedure but still the task is nearing its 4th month... Well late...

Thanks for calling oDesk Assistance.

I'll also email the supplier to make contact with you to get a quality. I'll provide him 48-hours to answer you of course if he doesn't, please advise me and that I may hold his take into account non-communication. I'll deliver you a carbon-copy of the e-mail.

Please let's know if we are able to be of extra help.

I simply performed a research about the supplier and Clearly he'd previously produced a back-up account because of his bad feedback. I previously required a of his last biography and that I remember the picture in his present account since he employs exactly the same picture in his IM. There are certainly a large amount of fraud artists with this site and that I submitted a with my charge card company since the deal was created via a U.S.organization.

Another link for Kim C. Is I'm contacting the FTC. I don't understand what kind of activities your organization is enjoying however the login is authorized at the next url and that I http://www.odesk.com/customers/~ba57327918979760

This Can Be A severe problem and appreciate God for SE's since Ellie is actually still focusing on tasks underneath the so-called hanging consideration. It'd be somewhat unreasonable to hold somebody's consideration when he's still focusing on tasks. I ran across the account within the internet search engine that's still-active but simply does not come in ODeskis Research results

It appears as though Ellie coppens new accout was produced overnight to permit him to carry on making use of your providers since I examined all of the Ellie C. S pages a week ago and that I might have discovered this new account however it was not within the search engine results. Today all a quick his previous consideration is taken off the search engine results but nonetheless keeps an energetic link and seems in main searchengines where individuals are nevertheless in a position to employ him. This new consideration was made on 10/27. I further study the account, all his examination ratings for that same check would be the same. It appears as though he simply modified his account only a little to try and conceal it. Sadly, this really is clearly easy for the organization to deal with since you did hardly any to resolve the issue, but instead a problem for that FTC to research. You received cash from the task which was not finished and from the creator who went with my cash since he was inexperienced to complete the job. I have more than 20 pictures of emails and bios, and pictures since this problem must be resolved quickly before it goes haywire. You clearly understood anything was incorrect when he didn't react.

I've a on my fresh and forthcoming site that's likely to start in Jan (which is promoted throught many marketing stations) where I'm likely to highlight main businesses. I simply submitted a study with my lender since i taken care of something which was not made via a U.S. Company and clearly ODesk is just a cash powered site that attracts a lot of offshore scam artists who fool customers in thinking they are able to get the job done to create a fast buck within their poverty stricken nations. It's unjust for customers and that I am really annoyed.

Our advice to builders on ODesk along with other sites which are conning customers is the fact that juice is just a t*
