Hi Another scam on upwork. One person contacts you. Then they set up a "google hangout' meeting but it's a person with a suspicious name that is much different thatn the first person. They say they need to hire 4 freelancers in a hurry. Something is up with this. I do not understand why these job sites do not monitor the sites to see all of the scam jobs out there. It is getting very frustrating.
**Edited for community guidelines** is the person listing the job then a guy name **Edited for community guidelines** does the call on google hangout meet. Very frustrustrating.

Hi Sandra,
Why would you join some Google Hangout meeting? Stay on UpWork until the contract is set up and funded.
And do not use names here. That's an accusation and we (including you) don't know if that's a scam or not.
Cheers,
Piotr

But you are an experienced freelancer that should know that you shouldn't have done that, right? Upwork does not allow communication outside of upwork before hire! Adhere to this, and nobody can scam you or waste your time, and best of all, you don't lose your profile for violating ToS!
