Ask Do freelance platforms take any responsibility if a client gives you fake project details?

[Brendan]

Most freelancers learn the hard way that platforms are mostly just a meeting point between clients and freelancers. When a client lies about a project from the start, it can waste your time and leave you with nothing to show for it. The platform terms of service often say they are not responsible for what clients or freelancers tell each other. Have you ever dealt with a client who gave you wrong project details, and did the platform do anything to help you?
