  Old  Scammer scamming freelancers!

Hi,

I would just like to alert everyone to a scammer that is out there hiring call centers/freelancers and not paying them for the job.

I work for a small call center and he hired us to do a job and never paid. We have phoned and sent mails with no response. Upon further investigation, I found that this seems to be his modus operandi.

I would just like to alert call centers and freelancers to be on the look out for this person and not to accept jobs and employers to please stop accepting his bids on the freelance sites.

Here is the document with all the info that I found: please pass it on to all your freelance friends and lets stop people like this from taking advantage of us!

Did you sign a contract before getting into this kind of employment for a project, especially when it comes to such long-term commitments such as call centers?

Its a known fact that the world is full of scammers but then, there are far more people waiting to be scammed which is evitable.
