Elance/ Net-Arb Deceptive Cheaters who take people's money and pretend to have justice. All Indians working with indians to rip off americans Mountain View California

Another victim from the many posted here.

Please be aware of the money sent to Elance and Net-Arb.  These 2 companies are in essence both Indian companies pretending to do legitamate business online.

The work in sync to keep money in the Indians hand.  Indians don't do the work, but rip off customers.  Their tactics is to pretend they can do the work for you.  Ask for upfront money and then do a poor job or no job.  Stay away from them at all cost.  I have been a loyal user and thought this was the only place to go to for contractors.  It worked out in the beginning, but the quality of contractors and deceitful people have increased.  When you pay contractor, you have no guarantee of any kind as what the company Elance makes you think.  At the end, they will all take your money.  I lost $8000 for a project that was delayed and not completed.  Going through arbitration was just a way for them to make more money off of you and let you think you have a place for justice.  They will side with the indians if you were working with one and no matter what your rights or the poor work they have done, you will be throwing up blood at the end when reading their sorry excuses.

BE AWARE AND STAY AWAY!!!

 DO NOT USE ELANCE

DO NOT USE ODESK

THEY ARE ALL THE SAME COMPANY AND MOST IMPORTANTLY, DO NOT TRUST THE JOKE OF ARBITRATION.  THIS COMPANY IS RUN IN INDIA, WITH A ADDRESS IN THE US.  THERE ARE NO PHONE NUMBERS AND NO REAL PERSON.  WHAT COMPANY IS SO SECRETIVE THAT PROVIDES NO INFORMATION OF THEIR PEOPLE, YET THEY ARE THE ONES TO DECIDE AND HAVE FAIRNESS FOR A CASE.
