They just kept telling me "sorry, but nothing we can do". I can't even leave feedback for the guy to warn others. I don't know if his account was disabled or not, but I'm not going back to Odesk to keep up with it. It's been almost a year now. nope. it WAS hourly, but Odesk did not guarantee my payment.

I don't think any company like oDesk can give more details, but I hope at least the account was disabled. That being said, I am guessing this wasn't an hourly assignment? Because if it was, oDesk would have guaranteed payment for your work. Shane, sounds like a terrible experience.

I was hired fairly soon after joining, by a person who was listed as "verified". I don't know if he's real or not. Odesk ignored all my requests for his information to pursue him for payment for any of the work I did. I spent a whole week on a job of writing a series of things, submitting work every day for his approval. He approved everything in very brief answers like ""yes, good. continue". After a total of 36 hours, I finished the last job and submitted it, but never heard from him again, and didn't get paid a penny. I was stunned and disappointed that Odesk would withhold all of his information, and not allow me to pursue payment, especially since they had all the documentation of my work done, as well as his, albeit terse, confirmations that I was doing the job well and as requested. HUGE waste of time. The guy was obviously a fraud, and, so, imo, is Odesk for letting him get away with it.
