People are asking me to use my account

Hello,

 

it has happened to me on more than one occasion that people from other freelancing websites ask me to give them my UpWork account. I have never agreed to it as I do realise it could, and probably is, a scam.

 

I would like to understand why they do this. I'm curious.

I have several emails about several upwork accounts that the Serbia account broker sent me.

The guy required $170 per month and required $75 for tax info verification and $50 for linkedin account verification to sell me.
