Weird Odesk Situation
The contractor I hired said he needs to work another 10 hours to finish my app. So fine, I can understand he needs to be paid for the changes and stuff I asked him to make.
I've already been charged by Odesk twice on my credit card, once for the week two weeks ago and once again for last week. So there have already been two charges to my card.
This contractor told me a story about how he needs the money for some kind of family problems or something that sounded like total BS.
He claims his account is under review by ODesk and he can't receive money from it for another couple of weeks until the review is over.
He needs the money now apparently and has asked that I hire him on Elance and pay him the full amount as soon as he finishes the app which is almost done.
He claims he can refund the two charges I've already received back onto my Visa so I can just pay him the full amount on Elance.
So in theory I'll get all the money I paid Odesk back and I'll just put that back to Elance and pay him there.
He's also offered to do the remaining 10 hours of work for free if I pay him through Elance which is kind of enticing because that's $333 which would be nice to save.
Is this guy full of crap or can he legitimately reverse the charges I've received from Odesk and will it be safe to pay through Elance.
Thanks in advance for any help, I've never had an issue like this with a contractor on Odesk before.
