Hello, everyone. My name is Cesar and I'd like to start a career as a translator and a writer mainly in Spanish (my native language), English, Italian and French. What inspired me to be part of Upwork is the fact that I can find an actual way to earn income by doing something I really enjoy doing, which are "writing" and "languages", with the few resources I have available. Although, I lack of experience in every of the matter. I came here to acquire some before the AI supplants my job (that's a little joke right there). Wish me luck. See you all.

Hey All,

 

 I just joined the Upwork community and am so glad to be a member of such a nice community. Let me introduce myself

Hi lyeks, nice to meet you 😊

I'm new to Upwork and wasted my day because of George C Vitas. I had received a response to my proposal from "George C. Vitas, MFG" he did not accept my proposal, instead he sent a message with a link and says it's a third-party platform. Don't give him your email. He wants Freelancers to write fake reviews for NAV tool on Trustpilot and Google reviews and also go on Reddit and down vote on user's comments who have complained about Nav Tool. He's not going to pay anything. It's all fake.
