Freelancer.com stole from me and ruined my life
Disclosure: I worked for Freelancer.com seven or eight years ago back in Australia and know the founder.<p>This is a "new" post from an old and now deleted post [1] by the same author.<p>In the initial post [1] they state "I've been a member in this platform for over 5 years".
In the new post they state "I have worked on this platform for over 7".
The initial now deleted post [1] was posted two years ago.<p>Make of that what you will.<p>Edit: I was hoping HN would actually read the deleted post too and/or assume I didn't have a nefarious motive. It's from the same author, isn't a repost, the story has an entirely different fact pattern and the deletion of the previous story (with no reference to it when it was previously posted on HN at [2]) is at least odd at best. I merely wanted to raise the possibility that an unsourced post is potentially not the best thing with which to sharpen knives.<p>I literally just wanted to add this data point to the discussion, that's all =[<p>[1]: <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20171104123112/https://www.trustpilot.com/reviews/59fdae7d31302a07249dc4fe" rel="nofollow">https://web.archive.org/web/20171104123112/https://www.trust...</a><p>[2]: <a href="https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=15624677" rel="nofollow">https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=15624677</a>
