Elance has probably turned up into a worst site now. They blocked my account on misunderstanding of duplicate account. I verified my identity, did everything that I was told to, in the end they just came up with a disappointing reply that my account cannot be reinstated and have held my funds. Their customer support is pathetic especially Risk team.
Stay away from elance. Also their escrow protection is cheat. One of the client funded and released $100. It was held for 2 days and I was told that it is their general practice, I need not worry funds will be released. But on 3rd day I found out that elance has reversed my funds. What the H$ll ?
Cheat site.
