0% fee 'Bring your own client'

Just got that mail... that sounds like a great thing, and i will be sure to use it when i get a chance.

 

But what bugs me: how do you plan to deal with the people who would hire themselves to gain success score, opening fake accounts of clients? It will be so cheap to do so (just some foreign exchange commissions, or maybe not even that when using U.S. payment methods) that it will be tempting to do so. Won't we soon face a whole new brand of fakes?

 

What i suggest: don't include contracts with these 0% clients into JSS calculation, top rated/rising talent, and otherwise take means to make sure they don't help a profile stand out.

Hi Alexander, 

 

Thank you for the feedback, i will share it with our team. 
And about the first part when we discover someone had opened a client account so that he can boost up his freelancing score we take proper actions against them.
If you get suspicious of this activity please report them, and one of our team will have a closer look.

Hello, I have just re-opened my account. I have a old client that is a copywriter on Upwork that would like for me to do a website, seo and online marketing. Can I bring the work into Upwork without a fee?

The 0% fee deal is only available to top rated freelancers and for bringing clients who were not previously on the site.

Hi Goran, 

 

Unfortunately no, that's the only message that I've found - "I just checked your client and unfortunately your client is signed up from 2015, long before this program was introduced."

 

Now I'm asking for a link for another client

The link is exactly the same. It's specific to you, not to the client or "per occasion"
