Just thought I’d share my terrible experience contracting from Upwork.com. First off they seem to facilitate legitimate EA programmers and reviews always seem good. So, I contracted one of them to build 2 EA’s for me and all seemed well initially so I paid and left a good review.
However, as with any software bugs appeared over time and when I requested bug fixes eventually all went quiet and the contractor obviously had no interest in fixing the faulty product.
I contacted Upwork’s support structure and they pretended to try help for some time. End result is I’m out of pocket for 2 EA’s that only work partially and not as intended. Upwork and the contractor have happily kept the money and unfortunately no consumer protection recourse exists for international clients. (I use the term clients but I guess Upwork considers us suckers to be drained of cash while they can).
So beware everyone and avoid Upwork like the plague.
