Hi Good day,
I Have been working from last one complete year on Getafreelancer (as per the rules and regulations designed by the Administration of getafreelancer) and before the Administration was not so. But after they handed over their business to current Management from that very day these Suspensions of the amount filled accounts and all such things has got started.
Well, under given is my experience on getafreelancer website:
i have been waiting to get my amount being transacted from GAF from last three weeks, and meantime on getafreelancer.com i got my account suspended once, then my GAF ID got CLOSED with complete amount and then after that my GAF account Edifice was made opened by the GAF Administration. After that i Requested for my amounts of 577$ (making them two 287$ and other of 290$) to be withdrawn on the Payoneer Debit Card issued to me by Freelancer and they gave me the dates of 28th and 29th December 2009 and then the amount got transacted over there... Then on 29th i accepted both amounts after paying 5$ for each (total 10$). And on the other side i got messages from GAF Helpdesk that i got my account Edifice and Closed on GAF. I said ok, but keeping in mind that there on Planet Earth on internet as well in the books of GAF is time for Withdrawal (7 days), for Credit Cards for Chargeback (45 days* or so i am not sure) and means for everything there is time, so they will allow me the time of 24 hours or there, also is a chance to not to close my Debit Card and as it is HARD Winter this year so i was ill (got flu and severe headache) so i postponed drawing the hard cash out from any International Banks' (Citi Bank or Standard Chartered) ATM (which are much far away from my home).
After some 4-5 hours maximum i went to International ATM machines and there the ATMs of both Banks, i.e., Citi Bank and Standard Chartered stated that 'You account is blocked, Contact Issuer'...
Then i got back home while thinking that where i got wrong? then after reaching home i checked my Payoneer account, but it was closed. So i called the Payoneer Customer Support and after confirming my date of birth, card number and all person checked all and then simply stated that "we have Closed your account as per the instructions of GAF and when i asked them for money, they stated that it is stucked and will be opened only after getafreelancer NOTIFIES us to unblock the account it back"...
Now what on the Planet Earth Should i do?
Everyone is aware that freelancer has no Live Phone Support and same thing is what still hurts that how anyone can get to know what so ever this all freelancer is?? Anyway, till then in these two three days (it is 30th December 2009 when i am writing this) i have sent around 40-45 Messages (or what they state 'Tickets') to Getafreelancer regarding this all, but no response. Then i simply got on to ripoffreport and Filed a report over there.
