There's some really weird and suspicious job posts.....

I recently found a weird job post, picture attached below. This dude keeps posting the same job, and every time he posts, he increases the budget by 10$ . He's got like 17 "Job in Progress" (17*10 = 170$ hmmmm) and almost 100 copies of the same job post. He's got 0 reviews lol. The fact that he increases the budget by 10$ every time is extremely suspicious and could even be a new type of scam going on. Any thoughts?

Not absolutely sure, but these are people who want to publish their app on another person's account, so some bad outcome (this is the part I'm not sure about) will not be on their account.

Yeah, probably the person blocked from the app stores... special kudos for the screenshot file naming convention...!

The client page looks odd. The client has been hiring since April and so far no one's been paid.

I like that you named the screenshot PNG files wtf1, wtf2, wtf3. LOL!

This does seem like it could be some kind of scam.
