WILL I BE AT RISK FOR FRAUD

An app offering loan services to freelancers and part of the process is linking my upwork. Inorder to do so, i must remove Google Services from Connected Services Settings.

Can someone enlighten me why they would require that? Is this potentially inviting hacking my account? Pls help.

Sounds like a scam to me. Report it and have Upwork check it out, but do not do what they ask until Upwork gets back to you.

This is the sort of thing that can only end in tears and you losing masses of money. Don't even think about going there, and report it. I have flagged your post so that a moderator can intervene

Hi Joseph, 

I'm unable to locate the project you're referring to. Could you please send me a private message by clicking on my name to look into this further?

The OP says there is an app that offers loans to freelancers.and part of the process (of applying for a loan, presumably) is the linking of the Upwork profile.

 

Sounds shifty at best, but isn't anything Upwork can control.
