    Buyers Beware: oDesk is a scam

    I hired this guy about a week ago:*removed by admin* because we had an email convo and he said he has done projects similar to this before.
    He ended up logging over 25 hours of "internet surfing (watching videos) and projects he did for other Buyers" and I had to pay for it.
    The screen shots odesk provided also showed that he was watching tv, gaming and talking to other providers:
    *removed by admin*
    I can attach all the screens that odesk took in that 25 hour period and none of which was related to my project. He worked on it for 1 week, without providing anything and in the end I had to hire someone else to finish it in 1 hour. The rate he provided was around $17+/hour and my VISA was billed $400+.
    Results after I filed the dispute:
    He agreed that he only worked 2 hours on it but logged over 25 hours.
    *removed by admin*
    However, after an odesk person reviewed the dispute, I was only refunded 13 hours because the other 12 hours was logged properly.
    I will let you guys be the judge here, but if I don't get a refund for the full 25 hours, I will file a dispute with my credit card company and take Odesk to a small claims court if I have to.

    I have been scammed on odesk two times.
    First User started and never finished my project. Said his town got hit by a hurricane and told me to call him at a number maybe so i can call him and he can scam me more.
    Second User started my project and demanded more money after little work and then completely ran off.
    Please not if i have to spend 5k spreading this scam of policy of this website i will and i promise the owners of odesk would hear from me very soon very soon no legal action would be taken but if i can spread the word with my very popular website i will. and i promise you will hear from me agai

    I recently had the misfortune of awarding a project through oDesk. So that the provider and I would be clear on the work to be performed, I prepared a written agreement, which the provider signed. I reviewed the provider's work diary a few days after he started and found that he was not doing any of the work we agreed to. Instead, he was basically surfing on the internet. I lodged a dispute through the "Dispute Resolution process." My dispute was rejected and I was billed because the provider had logged into oDesk to record his activity. So, I got stuck with the bill for a week's worth of intense web surfing by the provider. BEWARE: THIS SITE IS A SCAM THAT IS INTENDED TO BILL YOU WHETHER OR NOT THE PROVIDER COMPLETES, OR EVEN WORKS ON, THE JOB YOU REQUESTED BIDS FOR!!
    P.S. In case you're wondering who the provider is, have a look:
