Fake job

[5e3106d9]

Hello, 

Be careful in this platform, I got a fake job of typing by **Edited for Community Guidelines**"an international company" and i worked with **Edited for Community Guidelines**. I spent three days day and night typing a novel for them, and when I delivered the job, they told me that I have to pay $50 to get my paid, lol. 

That's the first time that I see that I have to pay to receive a pay for a hard work that i did, they didn't rob me my money, but they stole me my effort, my time and my hours of sleep. 

I don't know how to report these people in here, please help me to do this, so anybody fall in this fake thing.

Hi Johanna, 

Did you have a contract?

Hi Johanna,

I would like to clarify that a real client will never ask you to give them money to start working, cash a check for them, work for free, or provide your personal information. Please know that sharing contact information before a contract has started is against Upwork’s Upwork's Terms of Service and that all communications prior to the contract starting must take place on Upwork.

I also encourage you to let us know if a TOS violation has happened by using the Flag as Inappropriate option throughout the platform. You can learn more about user reporting here. Feel free to also check this page to help you stay safe on Upwork.
