Download watermarked videos, remove logo, add client logo, upload as new! Really?

[suzytino]

Today there's an editing job posted. The client wants somebody to download specific videos from a couple of sites/FB pages they list - REMOVE THE WATERMARK - and re-upload the videos with a new logo etc.

This is theft. You can't do this. How can we report these type of clients/ads? If we could clean this out, maybe the quality of work would become a little bit better. 

Any suggestions?

I thought you had to check one of the boxes. Otherwise would Upwork know why?

You are posting in a (very old) thread about deleting watermarks. In which it is said that it is image theft and it is not allowed and that is precisely what you offer in your profile.
Really?

Since we are here, your profile is not that it needs a lot of work, it is that you must start from scratch.
Head over to Academy, it's in the forums header, to learn how this works and create a proper profile. Read the TOS and Wes' scam thread on the community blog.

Another profile that is nothing, Upwork?
