Has anyone been scammed by a "Joe Appleton" of "Appleton Consulting" job post on Freelanceswitch?
Just wondering. Freelanceswitch is a great site. But there are some bad 'apples' posing as fake companies, posting freelance design jobs on Freelanceswitch. Terms and payment is agreed upon and a contract is signed. Only to find the contract is later breached and a freelancer is scammed out of promised pay once work is completed and submitted. Has anyone had a similar experience? It sucks to be expecting and waiting for money (you worked hard for) only to find you may never get paid. Freelanceswitch (a great site) should make better efforts to screen and scrutinize subscribers. I think the actual contact information of job posters and freelancers should be verified (phone numbers, emails, addresses... etc. Currently they only take emails as contact info). Sadly it may slightly takes away the ease of the site but it is necessary.

There are no online reviews about that guy or his consulting firm. They are probably imaginary. He just used the name to cheat people. Post your experience on ripoffreport.com and complaintsboard.com to warn othersv
