Just noticed there are a lot of scammers posting jobs, last week there were 1 or 2 per page, now it's almost completely filled with scams (those asking for well paid, urgent jobs and posting an email address and/or telegram contact).
IMHO you should really take care of that. Not only because it looks bad, but also because they'll actually catch victims. And honestly, it would take literally 5-10 minutes to do write a script to automatically ban them

Many people are reporting this, and many also think it would take literally 5-10 minutes to write a script to automatically ban them, and that that should be done. Hopefully, it will be. No word on why that isn't being done though.

Well, we reached a new high. 100% of job posts on my landing page are scams. 😤 I won't report them anymore, if Upwork doesn't care why would I?

Yesterday saw a solid run of 9 forum posts about scam jobs. It caught my eye because they took up an entire screen's worth at my resolution. That's not counting another half-dozen or so scattered throughout yesterday's posts.

Yeah, the whole forum is complaints about spam and scams, which is justified cuz it's bad.
idk if Upwork cares, but spamming Upwork is being promoted as a way to make money on blackhatworld. It's probably getting passed to trash tier FB groups and now it's bad.
