Another client's scam - please be aware

[db801079]

Hello,

So today I applied for a job post related to technical writing, the client immediately responded to my proposal and shared as below: 

As I refused to move forward, the client declined my proposal (which is quite weird as I thought a client only declined a proposal before responding to it). I have flagged the post as well as reported the message but I can still the client, and the post is still active.

Therefore, I put it here so everyone can be aware of this.

Regards,

Kieu.

Hi Pradeep,

As I can see, the client is still active and 3 freelancers have recently been hired for that job post. Does that mean the client did not violate any upwork term when asking for the unpaid trial?

Thanks and regards,

kieu.
