New to Upwork.

Hello guys, I am new to Upwork and already had someone from a job posting that I sent a proposal. Someone already contacted me just to ask me if they could use my Upwork account.

My God, scammers are everywhere, be careful when submitting propossals.

I've had the same thing happen to me recently.  I had to connect with him on Skype to discuss and that's when I found out.  I did not go for that but just to give heads up to the community that this is going on.  Be careful all 🙂

Thank you for your reply, that is the same person I think.

heads up people, do not fall for that scam.
