Beware of Fraudsters in Freelancing

Ever since the Internet has came up with its potential in business, freelancing is on the rage but then one must beware of fraudsters in freelancing. There are many buyers, like mahamaya on freelancer.com, who cunningly ask for a sample from the providers without paying a single penny and then submit genuine piece of work to the client from who she has won the project! 

Actually, it is the fault of genuine providers who get trapped by fraudsters in freelancing. The providers always fall for good budget and cost per article and this is what, freelance fraudsters like mahamaya on getafreelancer.com knows. Whopping budget and great price per article makes the providers thinking positively and they provide sample without a doubt. Of course, there is nothing wrong providing a genuine fresh written sample but then, one sample from each provider and 20 such providers bidding on high budget posted by fraudster like mahamaya on freelance.com makes 20 articles READY to submit to the original client!  

The providers must understand this foxy idea of the buyer like mahamaya and stop providing a sample article. A wise provider should not get mesmerized with wordings of the buyer that says that sample will be paid. Initially these buyers build their reviews by paying off writers but only on initial stage. They do this to build their credit first and then start a dirty game. 

How to get rid of it?

The buyers like Mahamaya on freelancer.com can be tackled in a wiser way! You, as a provider, must have your blog or any webpage that displays your name. When asked for a sample, do not provide the article on the private message but then, post it on your blog as it will speak the date and time. Tell the buyer that if she likes, she can use the piece of article and once you are paid, you will delete it from your personal blog. 

In this way, if mahamaya like fraudster does not pay you, you don't bother as the blog is already published onto your blogging site and on the other hand, genuine buyers will like your style and will pay you. You can then delete the post from your blog!
