Hi friends, I had recently taken up a data entry kind of project in one of the freelancing sites. Fortunately(or rather unfortunately) my bid was selected. I was very happy about it as that was my fifth project through that site. Unfortunately, the task given to me was more than what was given in the project description. I had bid three days for the whole project. But, seeing the work load I got demotivated. Additionally, it involved renaming of images of sexy females, which I did not want to do. After two days of working, the project buyer started agitating me by ask for project status every now and then. Since, I could not make much progress, I decided to buy some more time from the project buyer. But, he replied saying that my bid was chosen only due to the 'delivery time' that I had stated. I was irritated when I realized that the project buyer was trying to exploit me by dumping work for so less money and additionally troubling by asking status. I conveyed him that his descriptions were not sufficient enough to convey the tasks involved in it. He just answered 'You should have got the details from me before bidding!!' That was indeed a very blunt reply. I canceled the project, for which I will have to pay $5 and moreover, the project buyer has given me a very bad rating!! It was my fault that I went on the description. But none of my other project buyers had fooled me like this!! Have your ever been fooled like this?!
