Scam alert!
I'm sad to inform that I was being scammed. I love to write and currently I have 3 blogs where one is making enough money. However, I was checking of freelancer.com for a writer job opportunity. I got in contact with a guy who is using always the same email to scam people completedwork0@gmail.com
It happens back on December 25 when that person, who uses many names, contacted me. He request you through freelancer to contact him on skype. In the end, he will send you a "contract" to make the job even more real. Before I check and signed anything, I search information about the name on the contract and the it turns out to be a successful internet marketer. However, as I mentioned above, this guy uses important people names to gain your trust.
I started working with him on December 26 as I thought everything was alright. I have to tell you that I was not fully sure about the job. I search for information everyday about the person and everything seemed to be legal.
Then, today, I put the email address on the google search bar and I found that people have been scammed since 2017 with this same person. As of today, I have sent a total of 20 articles each of 500 words or more.
I wanted to share this so people can avoid this person. It was really hard to find information about this person but if someone request articles and use any of the following email please reject it.

completedwork0@gmail.com
Sincerely,
Andres Agudelo

Many thanks for this information.
Very sorry to read about your loss to the guy.
The internet space is very risky these days. Recently my son was scammed trying to buy a phone from someone on the internet. Everything was going on fine
speaking on phone, text messages back and forth until he got money and disappeared.
We need to be extra vigilant.
Beyond this is the impact these activities are having on our business.
I wish us all the best and a very happy New Year.

Thanks for the heads up, Andres. It's unfortunate that there are people out there like this. It makes me angry!!
Sorry to hear about that Andre! Thanks for letting everyone in the community know! Hope it all gets sorted out!

I've worked with this guy recently named "NAA" on skype, I agreed to work with him and he contacted me through the website freelancer, and I should've known that this dude was being shady as hell.
But I agreed anyway because frankly, I needed a job, and as a 21-year old who doesn't have a license to be a healthcare worker yet.
I wanted to find an online job and I have worked with a couple of employers in the past and I had no problem with them, so I eagerly agreed to this dude's contract and signed it.
I worked for this twat for more than 2 months, and I submitted 143 articles in total for this bellend, which ranged from 250 words to 3100 words. I was relatively new in the whole remote work process and I was desperate.
I wasted 2 months working with this bloke. I should have guessed that something was wrong when the "first payment" was delayed for a month now.
I feel so stupid and helpless and I can't believe I wasted my time with this asshole. I kept waiting like a damn idiot.
PLEASE REPORT HIM
His skype ID is
live:completedwork0
Please be wary and do not act like a desperate idiot (me), stay safe, and please report this twat. Thanks.
I sent him blog posts regarding the matter because he was now asking for personal information such as "close up" pictures of my government ID and the dude blocked me on skype LOL.
