Hello, this is the job I was invited to do. My question is, is this a scam? Because of the large number of applicants. I also received 2 similar invitations. Are they scams?

I have the same question and experience on day 1 of being on the platform. I would be interested to know if you ever had an answer.

Hi Everyone,

I am new to this platform and immediately got multiple invitations for a voice mail project in Bangladesh.  This sounded a bit odd to me. Can someone share their experience on the legitamacy of the project or other relevant advice? Thanks

I have also recently received this invite. I think it might be a voice-harvesting scam for an AI or scam company where they will take ownership of your voice to create a voice-over in a scam centre

That's a good point! I've also received an invitation for this type of job, and I hadn't even considered it might be a harvesting scheme for AI. Thank you for bringing up that possibility!

i thought the same thing...instructions arent very clear either. I'm hesitant to even start it... may just play it safe to the feelings I had already plus seeing this thread of similiar hestiance and just let it go...not worth losing sleep over

Received the invite too and declined as it seems like voice harvesting. I also received an invite to join someone's professional network - but she has a locked profile and didn't say what the network is for. Declined that too.

upwork is real plat form not scam
