Mairas is absolutely wonderful. Her creativity is amazing. Most importantly she writes with perfect english and sentence structure and this is most appreciated since I do not have to worry about editing the articles. I will continue to work with her.
Comments:
This was the first time using getafreelancer site and I am very impressed with Mairas exceptional writing skills. I am hard to please but Mairas got it correct on the first try. No editing needed! Very responsive and quick. I will definitely be using her services again.
Incomplete Report:
She always said this during bidding
"My work will be original and well researched. It will be delivered to you on time"
Here's the fact of what happened
1) She FAILED to upload any deliverable on time (I've given her CLEAR DATELINE beforehand)
2) All here articles were either rehashed, plagiarized from ezinearticles.com or contain obvious duplicates and non original. (I have proof and links to show)
3) How did it happened? She said this "but some times new untrained writers might do that". This shows that she's hiring other writers for cheap to do your work
My verdit: NOT RECOMMENDED for your projects
» Mairas's reply: BeWare!!! This person gives you projects and shows his reviews with the promise he will pay, which he wont. He chose me for the project, as I was travelling work got delayed so before the deadline passed I requested for extension. This guy gave me extension, and then the work was sent to him in 2 days. Due to some copy issues some articles were sent back which were redone and resent to him. After he got all 25 articles, he vanished. I can show my emails and chat with him. He left an incomplete review when he knew articles were due in next 12 hours, which I sent as was the commitment. After that he blackmailed me to accept $30 for 25 articles, and promised to remove this review. I pay my writers more than this rate. I guess this guy is a blackmailer. Do not work with him without escrows as he is a cheat. He opened the project again, hasnt paid me, and has blackmailed me. I am Pakistani stuff so I dont bother about such losers much. Beware! He is a cheat and a blackmailer!
Comments:
Initial draft of articles was well below standard, but good communication and after extending the deadline a reasonable set were delivered a second time.
Incomplete Report:
Work was never delivered even after extended deadline. She even released escrow after several reminder saying her pc was hit by virus.
» Mairas's reply: Not only my PC but the whole system was affected by the virus attack. I informed this client a couple of days before the deadline that work will be delayed. But when the virus issue got out of control I asked him if he can wait or should I release the escrow. I was requested to release escrow. I did the same some 8 days back!!! Strange, people like this buyer take professional issues so personally. I will always avoid working with such people in future.
Comments:
I checked the article and I don't find any marketing concept which I noted it must follow the sample case.
The article not meet my requirement! Waste my money.
Comments:
Excellent work done in possible short time. The work was 100% oriogional and excellent writing skills used by them.I will always try to award writing work to Mairas.
Comments:
Mrs Mairas has professional writing skill, I'm confident to that; but unluckly, she outsourced the project to someone with low writing skill. When I received the article first time, I was getting mad: tons of mistakes in grammer and sentence structure. However, Mairas has revised the articles by herself at last and they looks better now.
At the same time, we agreed to cancel our second project which was listed at http://www.getafreelancer.com/projects/431509.html, because I have hired another writer to do this work.
Incomplete Report:
She did the job the best she could but I had deadlines that were very tight and difficult to meet which was difficult for her to do.
Incomplete Report:
This project was partially completed & partial payment was given, most of the descriptions that were written need to be changed, some have no relevance to the product at all. Maybe this project was not the provider's forte, but I needed the project to be completed correctly. I understand that the provider has not been feeling well, and maybe that is why this has happened, but I have also been more than patient waiting well past the given time for the project to be completed. Will consider working with this provider in the future on a different project.
Incomplete Report:
The style of the articles was good. But Maira CONSISTENTLY MISSED DEADLINES. I have lost a client because of her.
Nevertheless, I have given her another chance, stating CLEARLY that deadlines are important. Still, the delays were so severe that I have used another writer to complete that (second) project.
I would NOT recommend Maira as she is NOT reliable (even though the writing is good.)
John.
HAVE LOST
» Mairas's reply: I am seriously tired of such buyers as GAF!!! These people come with a project of ten articles, give you the project, are not willing to escrow funds and then ask you to write a sample. Once you send the sample in, they tell you that a hundred things have gone wrong, and then ask you to write another sample. I warn GAF that these kind of buyers are misusing the platform. Many of these people are using more than one IDs at GAF and with this incomplete feature they are good at spoiling things for others. Beware providers! and Beware GAF! The people who give you a 10 article project, and then ask you to write a sample after awarding you the project, are usually not be be relied on, especially if they have multiple IDs.
Regards
Maira Sarfraz
Comments:
Good articles, good use of English language.
The only drawback was that Mairas missed the first deadline and could not be found for 3 days. However, after that, we delivered the articles on time (we agreed on a second deadline).
Incomplete Report:
undelivered, rude provider, wants to embezzle me with a bid on an inflated business plan, dont want to work anymore with me, so she agreed to release funds, horrible street class foul mouth
» Mairas's reply: Just look at the language he uses...Budget (Ali) Says...Sorry but rudeness is not in the privacy policy and if it is it has no price. I will say, if shut up costs 30, then Maira, screw you, how much is that cost?
she wish not to work with a rude person who thinks shes a street clown (oops is that $5??).
Aside from that, she has no right whatsoever to hold the money ransom to apology claims....
I will apologize for working with a fuckin twat....
Please release the escrow thanks
Ali
Incomplete Report:
Mairas fail to keep me post on this project and did not complete this project by the deadline, I doubt if she even started this project which was thoroughly explained to her of when and how I needed the project competed. Essentially, Mairas has wasting 10 days of mine: I will be charging her for wasting my time. Looking at her past incomplete reports, I have a feeling this is not something new to her. Buyer beware, if you are looking for unprofessional copywriter Marias is the one to select.
» Mairas's reply: Due to certain reasons I had to start off with this project later than my commitment. But the client was informed and he was ok with it. Still, when I informed him that the set si ready, he wasnt willing to accpet those.
Incomplete Report:
Provider failed to supply requested articles as per job description
» Mairas's reply: His Specs were not clear. Set of ten articles was sent to him for review well before deadline. He took more than a week in reviewing those, and refused to pay afterwards.
Comments:
Thank you Maira for the product exactly how I wanted it. Maira is a very quick study, and knows exactly what's needed to complete quality work! Highly recommended.
Incomplete Report:
Marias does not do any projects herself but outsources it to other cheap people. Thats why my project was incomplete. She used her personal (family) reasons for not completing tasks. Something that is totally unprofessional. The excuse I received for incomplete project is she had to pick up her parents from the station...I'm still laughing. She's also very stubborn and refuses her mistakes. Guys- save money and stay away from her.
» Mairas's reply: Let me show you this person's professionalism. He launched this project for me, and after launching and discussing Project Management Course, sends me Dubai and Abu Dhabi guide to edit (see professionalism!!!)and When Dubai guide is done, he asks for a fourth task to be done. He sends an ebook to be rewritten into 100 plus pages, with the original being only first 5 pages of the book. I asked him to pay for the dubai guide after 2 weeks, and he said he would pay after some days. This project took some good 7 days, and I guess Mr. Profesional has sort of forgotten what the actual reason of delay was. With his first rude comment, I told him that I wont work on his project. He literally begged me to work on the other one, and now he is here with this complaint. Very professional I must Say. Hats off to you Safkool!!!
Comments:
This is someone you want working for you. If you want ok work go for the lowest bidder. If you want spectacular work go for this reasonably priced freelancer that will work till it's right! GREAT JOB
Comments:
This is our very first project with GetAFreelancer and Mairas. We are quite happy with the quality of work, and the organization of the finished product. Maira did exactly what was needed with very few instructions. Very good research skills, fluent English, and excellent grammar and spelling. Will do business again. 10 out of 10.
Comments:
The difference between this freelancer and other freelancers is clear. This freelancer will work until the work is not only satisfactory, but excellent. If you are looking for a freelancer that goes above and beyound this is the person for you. They don't complain about revisions. I'm truly blown away.
Incomplete Report:
Didn't read indications correctly although they were provided at the beginning of the project.
» Mairas's reply: The 8 days deadline was still two days away when this project was closed. I was ready to meet the deadline but the client was being too aggressive. We providers can render services but must not take all the shoutings and misconduct from the clients. Although I was more than half done with the project, I have decided to close the deal that way.
Comments:
The work done is acceptable. However, it did not follow my exact requirements, and once I released escrow payment, did not reply to my request for some minor corrections to the work. Could have been great. So need some improvement in communication and understanding client's requirements
» Mairas's reply: I replied each and every email. He took more than a week in reviewing it, and only got back to me with payment once he was satisfied with the work. Strange buyer, I must say.
Comments:
I hired Mairas based upon her reviews. She accepted the project and failed to deliver it on time. I sent her 6 reminder mails, 3 reminders from GAF and requested many times on Gmail chat to give me the project on time. She should not have take my project if should could not deliver it on time. Sorry Mairas, I will not work with you again. All the best.
Comments:
Work was fine and Mairas responded effectively to suggestions for improvements in their first drafts. Rating could have been higher but the response time and communication was not as expected.
Comments:
Maira is an excellent writer and did a great job on the project. I was a bit nervous as this was a fast turnaround project, but she actually had a draft ready in a couple of hours -- which is much sooner than the quoted 24 hour turnaround. This was a very pleasant experience. She did the work on her own, without outsourcing, and she delivered it before promise and with excellent quality.
Comments:
The work was excellent, The price was very reasonable, and the project was delivered ahead of schedule. I recommend Maira to all other buys, and look forward to working with her again. Thanks Maira!!!!
Comments:
This was an amazing learning opportunity for me. This freelancer is really one of the greatest people I have ever worked with. They don't accept anything but perfection and very willing to work on changes
Comments:
It's one of the greatest things when work comes in fast and right the first time around. This was one for the books. I love when a freelancer send work thats not only fat, but correct. I would hire over the competition if you don't want the headache of constantly having to re-do work
Comments:
This was not easy, but the quality was there. If you're looking for someone who will work till it's right then Mairas is the person for the job
Comments:
This was not an easy project. This really showed me the legnths that they would go through to make you happy with their work. If it comes down to them and another person with out a doubt hire someone that will go above and beyound
Comments:
Generally good, articles were of good quality. Could have answered emails a little faster but in the end I have no complaints with the end result. Thanks for you work.
Comments:
This provider had to make numerous amendments to deliver the work on the acceptable level. I am happy with the work received, however I would not be working with this provider again, as I had to spend too much time explaining the mistakes provider made.
Comments:
Work was finished with very good quality and project was finished with the terms specified. Project took a bit longer than stated thus the 8 review not 10.
Comments:
Great technical related articles by MairaS, This vendor is dedicated to all projects we send and if there are changes needed there is no problem getting it done the way we want. Thank you again for a job well done.
Comments:
A bit slow and I had to correct all of articles but worked on time.
» Mairas's reply: He changed his specifications and requirements middle of the way.I sent him each and every article after I finished it, and he approved everyone of those. Was all appreciaition then. I guess he changes his mind very regularly so beware. Dont work for him.
Comments:
Excellent professional, very supportive, posses good understanding about the assignments. quality work and easy to work with. Would hire again

Comments: An absolute 10 without doubt for her constant help throughout the project.You would never be dissapointed in termes of workload or payments. Very quick in payments aswell. Would definitely like to work with her again. Highly recomended!!!
Comments: I have had some issues with this buyer. Payment (partial)was made about 2.5 weeks after the project was turned in. Then three weeks after the project was turned in Mairas wanted me to drop everything to make changes. I wrote 50 (for $75) articles from 250 words to 500+ and could not be told which ones needed to be changed. Yet the deadline for changes is 3 days. I explained I currently have way too much work and can not drop everything to make changes without knowing what needs changes. I also had problems with getting responses from this buyer. Emails generally were vague and did not answer my questions until about the 3rd email. As of today it has been 3 weeks since I completed the project and have not received full payment (Bal $45). I will not be working with this buyer again.
» Mairas's reply: Well!!!!Its my bad luck that both time I worked with this person, the clients were a little difficult one. The project he has pointed is still not paid for. It needed changes and he was too busy for that. Although after the feedback I have got from him I must not pay him (as he has damaged my rating far more than the $45 owed) still, if his work gets approved, I will apy him for sure. He is unreasonable and finds it a little difficult to understand things clearly, still he is a good writer!!!!Recommended. (Just make sure when his work is rejected you have some free hands for correction work) No hard feelings from my side though :)
Comments: Mairas is such a good and excellent project provider.I'm new in freelancer but she give me a chance to prove I'm capable to handle the project.and i did it.she's good to work with.I'm so thankful I've met her.Hope to work long term with you!thanks a lot.
Comments: "Variety is the spice of life!" And the work given by Mairas offers precisely that--plenty of variety! Keeps your interest and skills alive! I have truly loved working with this buyer--honest, and pays promptly.
Comments: A Great Great buyer to work with. She makes Payment on time and gives clear Instructions. Will Always Work with Her. I will rate her 10/10 and if Possible beyond that....
Comments: It is an absolute joy working with this lady. Pays well, accommodates writers' time lines, and provides resources to help out. I look forward to working with her on more projects.
Comments: Mairas is more than fair. This project required extra time and she paid me more than we had agreed upon. I recommend her highly for this reason. Plus she's agreeable about explaining things when needed.
Comments: A definite 10 on 10 for Maira, for I have rarely seen anyone so tolerant and professional at the same time. Payment is prompt as promised, not to mention the explanations accompanying each project. I would definitely like to continue working for her.
Comments: This buyer has excellent scope and is always available to guide you on the projects. Projects by this buyer are at a very good rate and Maira also allows you to provide your schedule so that she/he may send you more projects accordingly. Absolute pleasure to work with.
Comments: Well, I would rate as always 10 out of 10 for Maira as working with her is fun and also learning new things as she gives chance to work on multiple skill sets projects and hereby we get a chance to learn through new projects. Ontime Payment and detailed description about work is added package we get to work with her.
