After Freelancer.com now the same dirty tricks in Freemarket.com

This is my experience with freemarket.com with supported screenshots:

I had listed a website for sale on the fraud market site:

This is the link to the listing and if in case they delete it (which they will judging by their activities) the screenshot is below:



One buyer bids for it and fraud market sends me an email:



The buyer funds escrow and fraud market informs me via email:



I transfer the domain to the buyer which reflects in my account:



Buyer releases the money which is informed by fraud market email:



According to freemarket.com rules, the first withdrawal takes place after fifteen days for security reasons. I initiated a withdrawal request and the processing date was 16 th March – 17 th March, confirmed by freemarket email:


Till the 16th there was no correspondence from either me or freemarket and I was waiting patiently to receive my money. I was shocked to see my dashboard on the 16th with a negative balance, status saying not enough funds and the processing date a hilarious Mon, 5 – Tue, 6 Jan 1970



I was also shocked to see the transaction history, which I downloaded as pdf.



I instantly opened a support ticket #WTI-732-95422 and got a copy paste reply after more than 24 hours:



Few hours after the above mail i got this:





So Freemarket informs me of the so called chargeback after 22 days of the transaction, after holding the fund for so many days and reports me after I raise a support ticket after my payment date was over!

What a nonsense suggestion to raise a dispute with Godaddy who was not any party to the transaction! What about the tall claims of seller protection mentioned in their site?



Safe and secure handover? What a joke after all this.



Secure Transfer and handover? Secured for your business but what about the persons from whom you guys are getting your bread from?

I have asked them for any proof of the chargeback.. and will not believe them unless they can prove their was really any.

 

Hahahahaha, i used to use freelancer but the same exact thing happened to me and the people where like, We have sent the guy an email and if he does not reply then we will proceed to tier 2. They never explained what was tier 2. How did it end. I never got my $100 back and they did not do crap.

 

Oh hO
so after seeing that people are leaving freelancer in swarms, they have started with freemarket..!
But the scam operandi is same.

 

Wow, what a bummer. Thanks for posting this.

 

this is not just one case or u should feel alone as there is whole bunch of scam that is going on freelancer
