Social Media Groups

[shawnleonhardt]

So I saw a group on social media for Upwork freelancers that had 80k members and I thought wow that might be a decent group. The entire group is people farming work out, buying reviews, buying YouTube views, and asking to pay others for fake accts. Literally a new scam post ever few minutes. Pretty incredible actually. And a little depressing. Sigh.

Thanks for sharing this with us, Shawn. 

If you have the time, I would appreciate it if you can send me the link of the group through a private message so that I can look into this further.

Hi Mr, shawn L.

You are right but there is no official group of upwork on any social media platform. So everybody there knows that.

2nd these kind of groups are illegal. Nobody can scam with upwork. Because Upwork's algorithm is way way stronger than their's scam.

So no need to worry about the scammers.

We are safe.
