I should say upfront that neither I was awarded this data entry project nor I had a reply to my last message to the project poster. Ever since I bid on this particular data entry project, I was wondering how would I be able to do the data entry work in my free time and earn money.
The following was project description page on freelancer.com. I bid on this project for $100USD.
I asked the project poster the typical "how should I proceed?" question. To my surprise I received a lengthy message in reply. The following is the complete message.

Then I asked him whether he would be able to award me the project and create the initial milestone. He asked for my email address and convinced me that he would pay the amount directly to my PayPal account once the project start to progress. I agreed to him; otherwise I will have to pay 20% to Freelancer.com too.
I logged onto the 'Data Entry System'. The following shows how it looks like.
Even-though It was supposed to display an image each and every time "Grab Image" button, Images did not show up that way. It was actually a very tedious task. Sometimes one has to wait 10-15 minutes to image to appear. However I spent a couple of hours doing this simple(!not that simple) data entry work. But I didn't receive the payment on PayPal as promised. I have asked several times about the payment. But no reply received so far!.
The message: Don't work on freelancer.com project if,
1. The project is still open (Not awarded to you).
2. Initial milestone is not created.
Eventhough freelancer.com is the best freelancer site (a.k.a. best outsourcing site) in the world, people like the above project poster try to tarnish the image of this very helpful freelance website. So Be careful of this kind of bad people.
