Scam. I've had a free account with them for 3 months. Have never bid on a job because of what I've seen so for. The biggest putoff for me though is that employers are bottom fishing, ie $3000/month (full-time!) for a six month project. $18.75 per hour? Not in Boston (or the USA for that matter!), I could clean toilets for better. The only benefit to me is to get a feeling for what skills are in demand.
