Job scams

[miriam-ocampo]

In the past few months, I have been seeing a lot of job scams and it's getting really annoying, is something being done by Upwork to stop this?

Upwork relies partially on users to report these posts, so they can take action.

So on your side, if you see a job post that looks like a scam, don't hesitate to report it, by checking the appropriate reason.

Others have noticed it too. I'm sure Upwork is doing everything possible to DRAMATICALLY DECREASE the increased number of scam posts freelancers have been being exposed to recently. They haven't said what that is yet, but they did post these helpful tips to help freelancers keep themselves safer: https://community.upwork.com/t5/Community-Blog/From-the-Trust-and-Safety-Team-How-to-Spot-a-Scam/ba-...
