Some freelancers on Gig.tn promise great results, claim to offer revisions, and showcase impressive portfolios. But once the order is placed, they deliver rushed, generic, or extremely poor-quality work — and then refuse to make changes or disappear altogether.
This is a frustrating and common scam: the seller completes just enough to technically say they "delivered" but fails to meet any expectations or standards. When the buyer asks for revisions (as promised), the seller vanishes, becomes defensive, or tries to force an early closure.
Let’s break down how to handle this — and how Gig.tn protects you.
🚨 How This Scam Works
Here’s what fake-quality sellers typically do:
Create an attractive gig with fake or stolen samples.
Promise multiple revisions, fast delivery, and top-tier results.
Once the order is placed, deliver something low-effort or AI-generated.
Refuse to revise or improve it, despite what’s stated in the gig.
Try to pressure you into accepting the work — or stop replying altogether.
This tactic preys on buyers who are unsure of their rights or feel they have no time to argue.
📌 Real Case Study: Empty Promises, No Edits
Case: Rania ordered a 1,200 DNT blog post. The freelancer promised “3 revisions” and a delivery in 2 days.
The post was clearly generated by AI — generic, unstructured, and filled with repeated phrases. When Rania requested edits, the seller:
Claimed the work was "already perfect."
Refused any changes.
Tried to mark the order as completed without approval.
Gig.tn intervened, reviewed the chat and gig terms, and issued a full refund.
🎭 Common Tactics These Sellers Use
Blaming the buyer: "You weren’t clear in your brief."
Shifting expectations: "This is what my gig includes — revisions cost extra."
Gaslighting: "Everyone else loves my work. You’re the first to complain."
Delaying responses until the auto-complete timer kicks in
Sending incomplete files and calling it a final delivery
These sellers count on the buyer getting tired, giving up, or missing the deadline.
🛡️ How Gig.tn Protects You
Gig.tn monitors these patterns and takes action when:
✔ A freelancer repeatedly refuses revisions that were included in their gig
✔ Delivery quality is clearly substandard or unrelated to the request
✔ A freelancer disappears after being asked for improvements
✔ Buyers report deception, poor communication, or unkept promises
If you clearly outlined your needs and the gig promised revisions, Gig.tn will always investigate fairly.
Buyers should always:
Include all expectations clearly in the order brief
Keep requests polite and within the scope of the gig
Use the message thread to follow up
If the seller doesn't respond — support will.
🚩 Red Flags – How to Spot This Scam Early
Overpromising sellers with ultra-fast delivery and unlimited revisions
Gigs with unclear or copy-pasted descriptions
Sellers who refuse to clarify what’s included
Profiles filled with low-effort samples or suspicious reviews
Vague communication after the order is placed
If something feels off after you order — speak up immediately.
📢 What to Do If You Receive Low-Quality Work
🔹 Ask for revisions within the platform — referencing what the gig promised
🔹 Be specific about what’s wrong and how to fix it
🔹 If there’s no reply within a reasonable time, or the seller refuses to revise:
Contact Gig.tn support
Share your order details, revision request, and delivery file(s)
Gig.tn will review the case, and if the seller is clearly in the wrong — you’ll get your refund or help finding a better freelancer.

🔹 You paid for professional results — you deserve to get them
🔹 Never feel pressured into accepting a delivery that doesn’t match the gig or your brief
🔹 Gig.tn supports good-faith buyers and holds freelancers accountable for what they promise
