I’ve been working for many clients and employers in the past three years. One thing I’ve learned is that some people will do whatever it takes to get out of paying writers. So, if you’ve encountered clients or employers looking for writers for hire but end up being scammers or fake employers, include their contact information here. Let’s make the most of the Internet; let’s get the word out there about these scam employers for writers and bloggers for hire!
Below is a short list of scam artists who target bloggers and writers. Writers, beware of these scammers!
anitaturner77@yahoo.com – goes by the name of Anita Turner-Sifford or Anita Turner. She seemed like a legit employer because her oDesk feedback revealed about 27 good feedbacks. However, after two months, her oDesk account got suspended because oDesk is investigating her. She stopped responding to emails and also stopped giving payments. Yes, Anita Turner-Sifford eventually became a scammer.
gajendersingh2000@rediffmail.com – goes by the name of Gajender Singh. Gajender Singh has an account at freelancer.com. His m.o. involves asking for samples and running as soon as he has those samples. Apparently, those samples are exactly the articles he needs.
Let’s make this short list longer! Writers, leave comments on how you’ve been scammed or suckered out of your money. Let other writers know about these scam artists!
