Lol, this is quite amusing to picture

Wonderful grammar. And at what point do i need to give you my bank details and make a small transfer of a couple of hundred to safeguard my funds to a millionaire in nigeria who just happens to want to give me his fortune?

Sorry for the late reply. I didnt post the brief up in case someone decided to undercut me. I doubt it's a university assignment as the last term has already finished. Any way I got given the job on a freelance site but judging by the simplicity I doubt its as complex as being worth £300 and hour .

It's clearly an adaptation of this University assignment, mind you, if they're paying you to do it.. more fool them

Bugger, is that illegal ? Think ill leave this one, dont want to risk getting in trouble and make my elance account look bad.

And to the people who complained above. I don't really see what the big deal is. I normally take up tasks like this and offload it to other poeple to make a profit. The opportunity for me to make money is there so I took it.

Keep believing. The ends justify the means. It'll all be ok in the end. Woop woop go you!

To be fair, subcontracting like this is a pretty common thing to do in business.

Step 1) Sign up to a freelance agency
Step 2) Repost advert on computer enthusiast forum
Step 3) Take a cut of profits

He has not subcontracted, he has stolen a percentage of the profits from somebody who could just as easily got the whole pot themselves were they on the freelance site. Its not like 'he has contacts' and is 'sourcing them work'. He has come on an open internet forum to make himself some money for zero work.

Exactly. The OP is a chancer, and just looking to make money. He doesnt care about the client, or the person doing the work; he just cares about making a quick buck.

I hope you don't find anyone willing to do this for you, and I hope you get a bad name/black listed as a result.

You give freelancers a bad name.

I thought you'd 'won' the contract? Won't the client be a little unhappy that you're backing out of an agreement?

Pretty much. He's accepting liability for it, he's taking a risk and stands to potentially make a profit from it, that's how any business works. People may as well be complaining about doctors profiting off the sick.

Pay a man the wage he is due; the founding principle of a society without debt slaves. Doctors no, practitioners of chiropathy and their psuedoscience bull quakery, yes.
