Scamm notice

 1st time I received my Job here, I don't dare to judge but I think it was a scam after I encoding a 75 pages story on word documents, and send it to the employer, They requested me a link fee of 100$ for able to send their payment to me, It was a lesson to me thank you for that learnings!!

Hi Christian,

 

Thanks for reaching out. Please be reminded that real clients will not ask for payments from freelancers. This is against ToS.
