I did much business with Seoclerks Platform in the past and used it as a buyer pretty often.
I became hired for a big project, with much content and SEO needs and therefore loaded my account. I was starting my research and created my lists on what to order.
The project has been suddenly canceled as one of the owners ditched the project. OK, no problem I thought, but then noticed I can't withdraw and the money is locked in the platform.
The customer support told me I have to spend it on the platform (is this even legal?).
I had to pay those funds to the client, but didn't want to pay it out of my own pocket. So I created seller account and bought some of my own orders. With the ridiculous cut, still a hefty loss, but I least I don't have to pay that amount back on my own completely I thought.
Ok - waiting time of 8 days until withdrawal will possible. Waited.
Clicked withdrawal - a message appeared my account is locked for withdrawals and I shall contact support.
So I contacted support - after one week I got a lame one-liner about " buyer/seller fraud - possible self refund attempt from cancelled order, BTC". They referenced that I paid in Bitcoin, I think for the reason that this is a non-reversible transaction, in contradiction to PayPal for example, so a note to them themselves, they don't need to care for this anymore as I can't create conflict / chargeback or anything.
Well, it is my money actually. I am ok with having them take a hefty cut as fee. But they just keep the complete money now? Who of us is the fraudster - Who keeps money that doesn't belong to them?
Keep this in mind if you use the services of this platform.
