HI Muhammad,

Jobs that want you to pay money or communicate outside UPwork are scams and against Upwork's ToS. Also, jobs that offer big money for a small amount of work are scams as well as jobs with a small amount of bids. Please becareful there are heaps of scammers around right now

Big thx for advice🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻

Hi Muhammad,

 

Melissa is correct. Additionally, you may want to read up on our Community member, Wes's thread about top red flags for scams. And if you encounter any suspicious user activity, you can flag them so we can investigate.
