How developers are scammed

New comment
 
On MQL5 it is the rule that every job should be done via MQL5. However, for the past months i see a lot of people claiming to be customers posting or referring developers to contact via Telegram or Email before even job is accepted. 

I suggest MQL5 to disapprove all job posts which include some contact information on the description.

After these scammers invite you to Telegram they would request you to provide them your EA to test. Beware! Its a trap!! 

Simply block those such customers and report else they will waste your time. Also do not issue any EA outside MQL5 job phases which are supposed to be followed. Value your work and time

 
I am posting is all the time on the forum during the many years (it is about Market products but it is same for the Signals and for Freelance as well):

  • If you bought the product from your friend or from your relative or from very active users on this forum so you can fix anything related with the sellers who are responsible about what they are selling (and because you both know each other for the long time).
  • But if you bought something from "anyone" just because of have a lot of money so - sorry: it is your risk, and this risk can not be turned to anyone else.

There is one rule which some people follow:
subscribe to the signal or create an order in Freelance or purchase the product from the user/seller/coder/provider you know in person or you know by activity on the forum.

Because if you purchased something so I may ask:
"Do you know the seller in person, or you are familiar with him on this forum?"
If you say: "Not" so it will be very strange case for me ...

Just my optinion.

----------------

There are a lot of professional and honest users/coders on the forum, and some of them are very active on this forum helping to the other people and replying on the forum posts/requests.

Always choose the person you know in this forum (who is very active here), and you will have less problems with anything.

Just my opinion sorry.

If some customer is looking for someone to make his job in Freelance (just because the customer is having am lot of money or for any other reason) so it is the risk of this customer. And this risk can not be turned to someone's else.

Just read my previous post about it.

Yers, it is good.
But I suggest that the customers should make personal orders for pre-selected development/coders, and those coders should be well-known persons on the forum (and/or the friends of the customers). But if the customer does not care about who will make a job so it is the risk for the customer (which he created for himself), and it is fully illegal to turn his risk to someone's else for example.
