A client is abusing freelancers to work for free

[b731ccdf]

Hey guys,

i accepted a job with a client and really wanted to work for him. 

It is a product description for 20$/hour. 

He wrote me that he has to decide first before giving me the job and that i shall do a product description for him up front for free to test my skills. 

And the funny point is that I would need 1-2 hours to finish the discription, it is not a short discriptions where you need 10 minutes or sth. 

I guess he is doing that with everyone and never pays for the job.

When my car is broken and i want to repair it, can i go to the car service and tell them to repair my woman's car first to show me their skills before i pay them?

How can i report him or let other freelancers know that he is abusing everyone?

Thank you for your answer guys.

You can flag the job description with the option "Client asks for free work" under the proposal submit button.

Definitely flag the client.
