Hi Isabella,
I'm glad you reported it. When I search that name, I see that there are three other posts still on the board.

Are these similar to the one you applied to?

I'm sure someone from Upwork will also search for that name and then remove the posts ASAP, because that is, after all, their job. And thank you for taking the time to do that, even though you aren't getting paid for it and it took time away from you doing your own job(s.)

Thank you Peter, hope they get out from the plataform and stop scamming people, at least here.

Hi Renata,
Thank you!, yes they are super similar, i reported them already. But it will be useful if more people report the jobs of this person.

Isabella - Two things that you need to learn from this: 1) It's against Upwork's terms of service for you to contact clients anywhere outside of Upwork before you have an official Upwork contract in place. 2) You are not allowed to accept contracts or payments off of Upwork.

Hi Christine, you are completely right, in my defence i was super new in upwork and they put the excuse of having problems with the plataform.
