New Scam Jobs Popping Up

For anyone in the design area of freelancing, please be aware of the new scam popping up featuring "menu" design or something "restaurant" related. The jobs posted generally have the same info with minor changes and have a flat rate in the $400-500s. Every job I've seen like this has a super sketchy file attached. In the past 2 days, I've seen upwards of 10 jobs posted like this. Some even have freelancers hired for them (hopefully they haven't been scammed or have any phishing/virus issues.) Upwork, please look into this so this doesn't explode like the last few months of scam jobs.

One note here... I'm now noticing it's not just limited to the job types I listed above. It's in multiple types of jobs. The common denominator seems to be the budget of $400-500 to attract the most eyes and the sketchy file attached within. Just be careful and keep your eye out.
