Warning to all Media Buyers on Upwork

Hello, Upworkers

There is a mafia who poses as a client on Upwork. He reaches out to media buyers and asks if you can advertise his photography or sports business.

He gets access to your passwords, and viola takes over your Facebook ads account- he makes himself admin and removes you from the account. This has happened to two media buyers that have interacted with this scammer. Is there a way Upwork can warn all media buyers to keep them safe from the scammer? The business name he uses is **Edited for Community Guidelines**
