Hi Rami,

Could you please click on my name and send me a PM with more information about your report. I'll check that and escalate accordingly.

Thank you.

Hi Bojan,

Great Day to you.

I am just writing these as i have been asked already for the 4th time.
Luckily i found these article let me know if where i could report these kind of people.
They are really growing specially all is working from home.
I hope this can be resolved by Upwork.

Thanks!

Hi Paul, 

If you are unable to file a ticket directly with the support team, you can send me a PM with more information so that I can report this to the team.

Thank you for flagging this here.

Hi Abby,

I've checked this for you and the job you're referring to has already been taken down because it was in violation of Upwork ToS and action has been taken on the client account. 

Please check out this post for more tips on how to avoid questionable jobs and please use the flag option found on each job post or message anytime you’d like to report a violation.

Thank you.

Well, it's slighly more nuanced than that.  Because of some employers desire native english speakers or US based freelancers, those outside of these parameters may have trouble finding work.  It still an obvious slap-in-the-face kind of scam.  But folks should know- they will often deplore how difficult it is to get work as non-US or they may say that the US has some "really cool projects".

No one has ever asked me to use my account, and I've never gotten any invites from scammers. I feel left out.

re: "No one has ever asked me to use my account"

The reports we are seeing about this come from freelancers who have been using Freelancer.com.

They are getting asked this over on that website. If you're not hanging out over there, you're not likely to have encountered this.

Theoretically the same kind of thing could happen here... But from what I recall, this wasn't something occuring on the Upwork site itself.

 Well we can't have that.  Can I use your account?  Petra with her photoshop skills can morph your face to resemble mine.

What's the point of that? Other freelancers/scammers are changing their pictures all the time. It's not like Upwork is checking if a woman becomes a man, or anything else really.
