Cheating self employed professionals has become rampant. Employers getting work done from self employed professional or freelancers either don't pay at all or pay less citing some excuses and make loads of false promises. The self employed professional has no choice but to trust the employer and does not have the time and money to pursue a legal case. I have myself been cheated a couple of times as a freelancer as I trust easily. Most recent was a young entrepreneur called Parampreet Channana who runs a blog called TechieSense, I wrote blog articles for him, although he paid 50% advance, he disappeared for a month without making balance payment for services rendered.After continuously pursuing him, he paid but not the full amount stating that it was discount whereas I haven't given any such discount. Such people want to hire good writers but for lesser price and if they don't charge less, they are given false promises and cheated. Such people are completely unethical and should not be allowed to do business.
I have come across sites (like the initiative by NASSOM) wherein employee background checks etc. is done and also heard of employee blacklisting in many places. But what we also need is a employer blacklisting so that others will not fall prey to such cheats. If there is a such a site in India please let me know. Else we should create one.
