Possible Scam?

[#1]

Can someone give me some advice, I can't tell if I'm being scammed or not, pretty sure I am. I applied to a Admin Assistant position and was messaged on here by poster to send them my resume to their email, even though it was viewable via the posting I applied to.  I've been in contact with them this last week and have posted a rental property for them on various sites. I have their work and personal cell phone number, main point of contact other than a couple messages on here and their payment method on here in verified. I'm supposed to be paid via Upwork next Wednesday, so I guess if this isn't legit, then I'm out 4 days worth of time, 10 hours.  They have a history of 50 proposals but have only been a member since May 24th, 2023, possible red flag, I know. I did ask if they had a business name, so I could research it in the CA business search, but they wanted to remain private throughout the contract with is 1-3 months according to the posting, also red flag. Pay is astronomical at $750 a week, I know also a huge red flag, considering I've only worked on the listing for like 10 hours.  Obviously I've asked if I'm being scammed, but obviously scammers can lie. Idk I just need someone to support my suspicions I guess. And I know I sound like a rube.

Was is it a hourly job or fixed price?

fixed price

This is not a "possible scam", this is scam for sure.

Never share eml and never contact outside without contract.

Now report scammer and block.

Hi Katelyn,

I am sorry to hear about your experience. I shared the flagged job post for further investigation and it appears that the team has taken down the job now because it was in violation of Upwork TOS.

Please check out this course for more tips on staying safe on Upwork and please use the flag option found on each job post or message anytime you’d like to report a violation.

Thank you,

Pradeep
