fraud freelaner's account report

[severinrv]

Hi there,  please advise what can be done about very unpleasant situation I've got in. I agreed on a project with a freelancer here's his link **Edited for Community Guidelines**
transfered prepayment 425$ and he never got to me with any answer or job done. I've got screenshots confirming our agreement as an evident, in case it will be needed.
I understand, that payed him on my own risk, still may be there's something you can do about it, at least to prevent other people from his fraud activity, block him or whatever can be done.
Looking forward to hear from you.

Hi Severin,

Could you please clarify if you've hired the freelancer on Upwork? Could you please share the contract ID# as I'm unable to locate a contract on your account?

Thank you!
