Where to complain? Is there a database of unscrupulous freelancers?

Answer 1

I threw a lot of these today. They create a profile under fictitious data, steal someone else's portfolio for volume, use fake accounts to gain a little rating and wait for people like you.
To escape from such, you do not need to chase low prices, but you need to look at higher ratings. In addition, it is highly desirable to start with only a small part of the work to evaluate the quality and time as a check. In most cases, scammers do not know how to do anything at all and immediately merge.

Answer 2

And what do the cops get paid for?
I can't give you the address of the nearest branch, you know better.
