I have a question

Spoiler

How can I tell if a proposal is legit and not a scam if it's ok to ask? I know that most people would say to use common sense. But it never hurts to ask.

Hi Jean Anthony, the best way to start with learning how to vet/screen job posts is to read all the Help articles to understand how Upwork works, so you can spot a scam or something not allowed when it's posted, but in lieu of that, absolutely check out this blog post by fellow freelancer Wes, that tells you how to spot just about every scam and illegitimate job post you'll come across. The comments have updates and additions from other freelancers too.
