Scammers! Watch out!

Hello everyone


Today I sent my proposal to a very attractive translation job, however when the client contacted me he asked me to contact the SEO of the company via Telegram (First red flag) I did it because sometimes some clients need to send you additional information or to be in contact with you by another means, however, when asked to create a milestone on the platform, it refused (second red flag). They pretend to be a company called **Edited for Community Guidelines**, I did some research and found this official blog of the company (attached the link) where they explain that after sending the work they ask for a deposit (Ultra red flag).

Freelancer friends Research your clients very well and do not trust that they have verified payment, if you see an offer too good to be real, hesitate! If you see that the client refuses to create the milestones on the platform, hesitate more!

 

Do a lot of research and report it! Happy work at home!

 

I leave all the data of these people to block them

You can be banned with Telegram conversation without contract. It is ToS violation. Be aware.
