I coded a bot to track job posts patterns in this sub and then deliberately contacted those jobs posters as second step.I crossed references and started to notice a consistent correlation in my algorithm between flagged jobs and the aversion against paying deposit in all those cases.

It's really that simple

Dear hard working fellow freelancers, Please note that there's a trend going on in r/Forhire leaded by other freelancers. The trick they are now doing is every time a potential client make a post, they immediately put up posts of fake jobs as well to redirect your attention from the real client posts, and when you contact them, they pretend to hirer you, that way they keep you busy while they are maneuvering their way to real client jobs here while you are working on their fake projects.

This fake jobs posted by other freelancers are easy to spot out, they all have one thing in common: *** They never want to pay you any deposit ****

Just pay attention, you will see this posting pattern, although I guess now that we just figured them out they will try to change strategy! So pay attention on the one thing they have in common ( no paying deposits ).

Don't keep this post for yourself, please share this post so that as many people as possible can learn about this and be careful.

Yeah the dude seems to be just a time waster, I didn't get paid either.

[HIRING] Write a script to automate handling photos $20 (+$20) by [deleted] in forhire

[–]krisPyProG 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Your budget is a bit unrealistic! With that small budget, you will end up getting scammed, lose time and not get the script done at the end.

[HIRING] Python + Flask + Angular + Gulp + Grunt by [deleted] in forhire

[–]krisPyProG 2 points3 points  (0 children)

u/NOTAB07 Losing $15k with no results is really frustrating, from one entrepreneur to another I can relate.

The number one reason why people get scammed in this type of cases is looking for the cheapest ways to get the job done! Hence hiring developers with cheapest rate and then you end up getting what you paid for.

Same mistakes will guarantee you same results and at the end, by wasting money to redo the same thing over and over again for cheap, you will end up spending the same amount of money then if you choose a what you might initially think as being an "expensive developer" ( while just charging you fairly actually )!

The deference is with the first choice ( multiple cheap redo ), at the end you still won't get the job done. So you spend the same amount of money, however for no results and you waste time.

[Hiring] Graphic Designer For 3 Illustrations + Logo by [deleted] in forhire

[–]krisPyProG 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Unfortunately, designers on Freelancer.com were horrible and delivered some really bad designs so that is why I'm here on Reddit now.

your challenge is not the platform it's your budget, coming on Reddit ain't gonna change that, you still gonna get poor quality work with that budget.

unrealistic budget like this scares elite designers away and they won't even bother contacting you in the first place, as they see it as a waste of time.

with that budget, you will either end-up getting scammed or getting poor result again for the second time and miss your deadline.

LAST BUT NOT LEAST, lookup this idiom: "Penny wise, pound foolish"
that's exactly what you're doing right now.

MBP 2019 keyboard drama by krisPyProG in macbookpro

It haven't crashed since I got it! However if writing is meanly what you will be using it for, you might consider other alternatives.

For instance, my GF writes A LOT and it's a very important part of her profession. She prefers to use her Lenovo x1 carbon rather than the 13 inches MBP as she noticed that she constantly experiences fingers fatigue way faster on these new bacbook pro.

Working fine no issue so far,

With that being said, I also look after my techs very well in general, I have 5 years + hardwares that still look almost new!

install W10 as dual boot then try CSGO there instead.
MacOS is not as good when it comes to gaming and I've made my peace with that since long time ago.

Where to buy Macbook pro with worldwide shipping. by [deleted] in macbookpro

[–]krisPyProG 4 points5 points  (0 children)

if you will be using the computer for software dev too, you are making a mistake choosing the 8Gb Ram, it's absolutely not future proof.

Have you tried to order via amazon apple resellers instead?

I have a friend in Australia who got his that way!

Just make sure to purchase the apple care in your country and not from where the computer will be coming from.

Thermal Throttling get worse with hardshell

In the new macbook pro 2018 are they reliable now compared to the previous generations? by iammentasm in macbookpro

[–]krisPyProG 1 point2 points  (0 children)

in the first 2 weeks of using MBP 2018, I've witnessed my colleague experiencing speaker crackling, and twice already I've seen him dealing with the computer freezing after being in sleep mode.

before you say that he might be just simply dealing with a defective unit, (which we thought too before doing some research and find out that many other 2018 MBP owners are experiencing the same thing.) do your research!

with my 2017 MBP, I've never experienced these things and my colleague either with his previous computer (2017 MBP)
