Hello community,
I just found another **Edited for Community Guidelines** scam job posting on Upwork. The client in question asked me to download Telegram to conduct the interview on that platform.

Here is the job posting I am referring to:

Please stays safe out there. I am disappointed that I had to use 6 Connect points to apply to this scam...

You are right about the signs, but all you have to do is see "Telegram" and know for a fact it is a definite scam.
Report the scammer to Support, and you will receive your connects back when they see the scammer was trying to go off-platform.
