Upwork already does (e.g. the terms of service freelancers are required to accept when they sign up, or the Academy free courses https://community.upwork.com/t5/Courses/Staying-Safe-on-Upwork/ta-p/1082392), the problem is that the vast majority of people can't be bothered to educate themselves before jumping headfirst into "work".

Hi Tasmiya,


I checked the job you are referring to and it looks like it's already been canceled for violating Upwork TOS. You'll notice that the Message room with the client has also been archived. Please, check out the tips in this post to make sure you stay safe and protected while working on Upwork.

 

Also, please check this help article for more information on how to use the flag option to report any inappropriate content.
