I was looking to hire an English copywriter on UpWork, but this non-native English speaker is using a U.S. identity and is claiming to have a Bachelor's degree in English from the University of Toronto and a Master's degree in linguistics from the University of Waterloo.

This is the profile. The sample articles use worthless English, and has errors that not even a high school native English writer would make. A native English speaker would never write like that. I invited him to one of my jobs, and he said he could not provide any proof of his credentials.

He already scammed someone I know, by providing her worthless writings.
Please investigate this immediately. Thanks
Please contact me at my profile's e-mail so I can provide proof that he completely failed this interview that I did with him on English grammar and punctuation, and he also said he has no proof of his academic credentials.

I don't care really about his credentials, or where he's from, but clients buying his work are misled into thinking they are buying writing from a native English writer who completed a rigorous bachelor's and master's degree program in English + linguistics, when he clearly did not.

I just confronted him about his degree. So I provide a screenshot in case he gets rid of the false credentials he was advertising.
