Scam Alert

I do not have a question but Upwork already noticed the unusual behavior of that account and the job posting was taken down. They tried to "hire" me outside of Upwork and after asking a series of questions to make sure it was a scam I discovered that indeed it was. The original job posting was **Edited for community guidelines**. Is there anything else I need to do to report the scam?

No.

 

You already said that Upwork took down this job posting. No need to do anything else.

Thank you

Hi Christopher,

 

Thanks for flagging this for us. I've checked and the job has already been taken down because it was in violation of Upwork TOS and action has been taken on the client account. 

 

Please check this thread for more information on how to use the flag option found on each job post or message to report any suspicious or inappropriate content. Also, check out this post for more tips on how to avoid questionable jobs.
