FOR SOME TO BE AWARE
Greetings steemit Community, this day, i would like to share an article that would be an interest to some of the readers, and will surely provide a helpful warning for those who are planning to be a freelancer in the future, a few weeks ago, by being passionate as a writer, i decided to grab some decent opportunity as a freelancer here in the net, i started searching for some reliable and multiple projects at free posting sites such as Upwork, Freelancer, Guru and much more, but unfortunately landed in the hands of a Scammer, he gave me a lot of restrictions and instructions to follow, which i respectfully comply, and made all his articles with limited time, such as 2 hours, 1 hour etcetera, even made a total of 48 articles, which are mostly about a thousand words, i was beginning to doubt after about a few days of working with him, but unfortunately can`t do anything since every Freelancers, have to finish a certain task or a specific project before getting paid by schedule, thats the unfortunate thing of the career.
I had made some interesting articles for some reputable companies such as Hyundai, Opel, a certain Snow blower and an article intended to promote a particular company manufacturing Drones, those days were really tiring and pressured, taking care of my kids as well, that even had some days of skipping programs and classes at school, because of lack of sleep, finishing all the articles that he assigned, made our daily life really affected, but because Christmas is coming near where my kids would undoubtedly merit for my hard work, i didnt think of anything but to pursue my job, but the unfortunate and worst scenario that i was relatively expecting came through, and became a reality, i was completely scammed with all the dedicated time i gave and all the original articles that ive provided, the guy performs his expertise by completely disappearing i the face of the earth and whats left for me was nothing, i decided to provide this article, not to really catch the guy, because its already done, and i cant do anything about it anymore, but i made this story for people to be aware of the huge negative side of writing out there, Im also planning to post some of the articles that i`ve made, just in case that it might reach those companies, for them to simply be noticed of their stolen articles, which i believe that some are particularly intended for magazines, and websites, i made my final and last message to the Guy by the name of Martin York, well probably not his real name i know, and told him that i am just a small writer, trying to make a living for my kids this coming Christmas and Thanks.
Yes, buyer beware. Much lost time and family sacrifices endured!
Can't be too careful in this day and age! Thanks for the post.
