I approached a developer through Upwork (*), but she wouldn't work using the Upwork platform and proposed we work through ithire.com. What a scam! First, she wasted about an hour of my time trying to understand the problem (a failing Drobo), to which she offered a solution in a couple of days. Nothing. Waited for days and received nothing at all. I canceled the contract. MEANWHILE, ithire.com is continuously trying to charge a so-called WEEKLY Regular Recurring Payment on my PayPal account for the no-frills amount of $6,900.00. Thanks to PayPal, I have been able to stop this. After reviewing the entire situation, after a few hours, she was banned from Upwork, but it looks like she actually never existed because there was about 12 other developers that sent proposals to me on Upwork that had a similar approach and were also banned from Upwork that same day. DON'T USE ITHIRE, IT IS A COMPLETE SCAM. A COMPLETE WASTE OF TIME.
