So here is the second post that I promised from the previous blog post. This is an incident that happened with ODesk. So just after I finished university, I thought I might just set up an account in a freelancing site so I can do some work, at least it was good to start off with.
As any other freelancing site, it makes sense for these companies to verify the workers so they ask for identification. So quite a while back I applied for this job and they required my identification. At the time I only had my passport for verification but I was a bit iffy in providing that detail so I didn't go ahead with that. Only about recently I logged into my account to find that financial transactions were limited in my account. At this point I still haven't done any work in ODesk, but I was thinking about it as a part time thing. I contacted support to get some help. Here is the first point of contact:

The reply I get from ODesk is quite friendly and supportive:
