Guru

A person named $#*!son Aganda gave me 20 articles to write in 10 days via Guru.com. Work was done, didn't get paid. Guru.com is nothing but scam. Try fiverr and writers bay

STAY AWAY FROM THIS COMPANY SCAM

I FOUND SOMEONE ON GURU.COM TO WRITE A ARTICLE FOR ME, Guru SEND ME WORK WITH SPELLING MISTAKES AND 33% OF THE WORK WAS PLAGIARIZED, GURU.COM DID NOT CARE.

WHEN I CONTACTD GURU TO COMPLAIN AND GET MY MONEY BACK, GURU.COM TOLD ME THERE IS NOTHING THETY CAN DO ABOUT IT AS THE FREELANCER HAD ALREADY TAKEN THE MONEY OUT OF THEIR ACCOUNT,

I SAID WELL SURELY YOU CAN RECOVER MY FUNDS THEY TOLD ME TO STOP THE PROJECT AND I LOST HALF OF MY MONEY,

I ALSO WROTE TO THEM SAYING SO ANYONE CAN JUST OPEN A ACCOUNT ON GURU.COM AND SCAM PEOPLE,

THEY NEVER RESPONDED,

I FEEL GURU.COM ARE RESPONSIBLE FOR KEEPING THE CUSTOMER SAFE AND THE MONEY SHOULD NET BE RELEASED UNTIL THE JOB IS COMPLTED PROPERLY,

I WOULD NEVER EVER USE GURU.COM AGAIN AND WOULD TELL ANYONE TO STAY FAR AWAY FROM THEM.

Many jobs are fake and if you want to apply on jobs by verified employers you will have to take paid membership.

Found a developer from India to develop a website+android+ios app for my business. Signed a contract, used a safepay. According to guru terms of service my money is guru's money once Guru get them, but they monitor the job too. If they find that the freelancer is unable to deliver on time - guru can work on employers favour... YEAH RIGHT! Not only in my case the freelancer was more than 1 month late, I haven't received a thing! No alpha, no beta test products. Absolutely nothing! Guru arbitration ruled that I was 100% right and refunded the last payment I was due to pay months ago to finalize the job. After I spoke about the rest of the money paid already, they closed my job on guru, then blocked messaging to the freelancer. I turned to guru customer service seeking help, and they ignored me for 2 weeks. Once I turned to PayPal (that's how I transferred my money), guru got in touch with me within a couple of hours! They only thing they wanted - to remove my dispute from paypal so they could discuss my problem with them. I refused and demanded 100% refund. No one from guru ever contacted me. They closed my account and removed all files I had there (luckily I saved it all on hard drive and still got it). PayPal refunded 2 out of 5 payments and accepted my evidence. Other 3 are still under review. AVOID GURU.COM BY ALL MEANS AND LET OTHERS KNOW THAT THESE SCAMMERS FARM FAKE ACCOUNTS TO MILK MONEY FROM PEOPLE WHO WANT TO START THEIR BUSINESS OR DO THE JOB. Just a hint, when you own a web service like guru, you don't have to rely on REAL freelancers. All you need a bunch of people who will sit behind the desk 24/7 and accepting jobs and taking money on safepay, pretending being freelancers. Absolutely fake service, 100% scam scheme. Just a heads up, if you were scammed by them, and paid with paypal, contact paypal and provide them with all you got. It helped me!

You'll lose your funding, guru.com will not help you in any way to recover those funds, lost time, and they'll allow those companies from India to keep scamming. India scammers are all over this platform.

It's a racket, guru.com is like a tow truck company, it's all a scam.

BEWARE!

Posting one job has never been more frustrating. I gave up after four tries, and never going back, because Upwork's process was seamless. Long story short: just use Upwork or Fiverr.

For everyone else interested in the details: First, their terms a policies are strict--maybe this is needed. But, they're not clear about them. After a few hours of posting, Guru reject your post saying there's one problem. You fix it, then try to repost. For some reason there is an error message. You start from scratch again, then post. You get another rejection email in a few hours, saying there's another problem (WHY DIDN'T YOU TELL ME THE FIRST TIME?), you try fixing again, and are reminded that the site has an error forcing you to repost from scratch. Do that five times, contact their customer service, only to hear that I've been the one in the wrong for not abiding by their guidelines. Will not be going back to Guru.com

Guru.com is a shady company run by fraudsters. I have already reported them for fraudulent activities on the FTC government site and I will also open criminal charges with the FBI. Guru runs a fraud scheme whereby Guru make it difficult to withdraw your deposits. After that they will delete the buyer's transaction history and account deposits. When you ask for your refund, they tell you they sent the refund but can't provide transaction proof, transfer ID, bank name and account number. It's been more than 30 days and the funds haven't been returned nor received. If you can't provide a bank transaction ID, it means you never sent the money. You stole it. I am sure Guru has stolen money from several clients. It's about time they faced the music from the Federal Authorities. If Guru has stolen your money, dont hesitate to report them to the FBI and FTC. Contact the links below:

Went on the site looking to hire beta readers. Met a few, agreed on pricing, we moved to email for communication. Guru asks for you to verify phone number, photo of yourself, valid ID, and proof of address... just to do business with people online? I've been using other sites for years to hire readers and never had to do this. But here's the best partafter an entire day of back and forth with the freelancers I hired, Guru begin the projects, and Guru terminates my account. Out of nowhere. No explanation, just a random email saying they terminated it per their user agreement, and best of luck with my future endeavors... what?
I normally don't even write reviews. I went out of my way to warn someone, somewhere, about this $#*!ty ass website. Just go elsewhere. Don't waste your time. Seriously.

Hello pls i beg you don't use this site guru.com the site is a scam itself full of scammers developers also, i just lost my $500 to this site, after Guru collect my money from me and they closed my account, if you need a good freelancer I advice you to go to fiverr

Bunch of scammers on here. All lying on their profiles. Finished a job with a person that provided horrible work, then Guru changed their profile right after I paid
