So it happen I am developer myself , feel really sorry for people who are looking for specialist there and are not technical .
I have posted some software jobs lately from web design to programming . And I cant believe how some people bid there and assure you they are experienced software developers with good portfolio and 5 starts reviews to find out they are not even hobbyist , they want you to award the project, then they will keep bugging you to put escrow and release some part of it , but they will never deliver anything.
I think rating system is a joke in freelancer.com website. Simply because it require mutual rating.
I put a project that require 15 minutes to read the requirements and within first second ( yes first second ) a couple of bidders put a bid and claimed they have gone through all the requirements , and some of them has too many 5 stars . When I interviewed them , they were completely fraud and know nothing about the skills I was looking for.

So freelancers here, I know many of you do some cash on side from these website, and you will accuse employers of being the fraud , but I would say it is just hard on us as it is hard for you to know who is the real.
