eLance allows a business out of Pakistan to continue on eLance which demanded us to pay via wire, to a personal account, though took us down without warning concerning communication regarding offering our clients options concerning payment, and we're a U.S. company. The information regarding the Pakistan firm was communicated in detail to a high level manager, who indicated it was against policy, yet clearly nothing was ever done. The business was not affected, no new profile, and no, they are not in the process of being taken down but allowed to complete projects which an eLance Support Rep indicated was "likely" the case. eLance holds U.S. businesses unfairly to a different set of rules/policy compliance than Foreign organizations which is simply un-American & wrong. Their actions support the current negative U.S. fiscal issues, and continued financial rape of the U.S. workforce as the financial playing field between the U.S., and any competing firm outside the US are obviously in drastic contrast. In essence, they step on the U.S. Worker twice. I'm all for playing a competitive game, as long the umpire doesn't have 2 Sets of Rules which clearly eLance execution indicates they operate with. Congratulations eLance! You cost 4 U.S. Workers their Jobs & Supported the downturn in America. Nice Job!

Elance https://www.elance.com has been a good place to do freelance work and grow my business but recently there has been a number of scammers that use their site to get free work done they pass verification and are allowed to hire on Elance.

I have lost over $1000 to these scammers and also have gone thru a lot of stress and mental torment, they have refused to help me out and even suspended my freelance account with them, so I am being penalized for bringing scammers to their attention it is my fault that disputes has arised from scammers that they allow in their platform.

They have it in fine print that they provide a "guarantee" for payment but they did not follow it and decided to suspend me. I am hoping to find a way to make them liable for this
