There are scam artists in every realm of the
world, oDesk is no different. There are a lot
different odesk scams out there, most of these
will pay a percentage of a job up front and not
pay the rest when a project has been completed.
Some odesk scam artists will have a great job
listing and contact individuals to complete
offers before training begins. These offers will
have absolutely nothing to do with the job
description. Some clients may ask for personal
contact information such as a personal email
address or phone number trying to phish for
information. Post your announcement here

Our odesk review One of the most creative oDesk
scams has been to ask for samples of one's work
and the client ends up publishing it as their
own. If a random invitation to interview for a
position is received and it has nothing to do
with the credentials listed, it is likely a
phishing scam. This is one of the easiest oDesk
scam tactics to spot. One of the best ways to
prevent anyone from getting wrapped up in an
oDesk scam is to do extensive research before
committing to a contract ask is odesk safe? If a
client is new and hasn't paid anyone stay clear
of them. If their payment method is not verified,
do not work with them. A verified payment method
if working hourly provides 100 certainty that
the project will be paid for.

Another tip is to Read client reviews before
accepting work. If someone was not paid or felt
that they were part of an oDesk scam it will be
stated it honestly in their review. Even
researching a client before accepting a contract
still may not keep clear of a potential scam.
Some of these clients are very good at making
themselves look legitimate. If any uncertainty
remains about a client, contract or other
information obtained do not accept a contract and
contact oDesk for reassurance. Why everyone
should Love Odesk! Only someone who has spent
years on odesk can give odesk real review. ODesk
does a great job in its pursuit to protect its
users.

Their policy is simple fixed rate contracts do
not have a guarantee payment unfortunately this
is where scams occur there is little that can be
done to force payment on fixed rate project.
ODesk always suggests working for hourly wages
since their website tracks hours and requires the
client to pay. They act quickly when alerted
about a possible oDesk scam or other type of
problem. Their team will completely investigate
any claim that a contractor has made regarding a
possible oDesk scam. They do not take lightly to
clients attempting to scam their contractors. It
is a wonderful community to be a part of and
oDesk strives to keep it the safest environment
they possibly can. Odesk works very hard to
screen their potential clients to the best of
their ability but some clients are so good at
scamming people that they even beat oDesk's
process.

Just Remember to always do research even if one
minor detail is off in their contact information,
website, job description or transmissions.
Contact oDesk so that they can investigate it.
Don't get involved with any client that is not
100 verified with good reviews. Safety is
important while using oDesk and it is partly
everyone's responsibility to help protect the
odesk community.   About odeskscamreview.com 1
