I tried looking around a little and it sounds really scammy to me. All the contact info and domain registrars is listed "redacted for privacy." Personally the whole thing seems to smell funny to me but I could be wrong. Anyone used or heard of this site before? I just want to make sure my daughter isn't going to get screwed over

Maybe it would be safer in a more known freelancer platform like Fiverr? Im sure there are problems with that one too, but im also sure she will have more protection than in an unknown one.

edit: they even have already a category for video editing fiverr.com/categories/video-animation/video-editing

I think she's gotten a few jobs off there in the past but she's always on the hunt for better/ more stable gigs. I'll have a chat with her and find out for sure. Thanks for the tips
