Google Hangouts = Scam Listings

Any job offer where they will only communicate with you by Google hangouts is a scam. These posting waste job seekers time and credits to apply for legitimate jobs. Upwork need to find a way to screen postings and eliminate these job postings as it also hurts Upwork's reputation. Thanks

Hi Laura,

 

Thank you for flagging this for us! I've checked and it looks like the job has already been taken down because it was in violation of Upwork ToS.

 

Please, check this help article for more information on how to use the flag option found on each job post or message to report any suspicious or inappropriate content.

 

Also, check out this post for more tips on how to avoid questionable jobs.

 

Thank you!
