Scams messaging me

Im just very depressed about this because I got my hopes up.

This morning I wake up after 2 weeks of trying to get a job on Upwork, to find that **Edited for community guidelines** messaged me about a job saying they woud sen me the documents. Apperantly after looking closer at the FB link, it was a scam. 2 WEEKS of no interviews or hires. Its just sad and I am starting to lose hope on Upwork. I really dont want to because I know the platform is good but it still hurts.

Hi Arron-Dante,

 

I'm sorry to hear about your experience. Thanks for flagging this case for us. I've checked and it looks like the job has already been taken down because it was in violation of Upwork ToS and action has been taken on the client account. 

Please, check this help article for more information on how to use the flag option found on each job post or message to report any suspicious or inappropriate content. Also, check out this post for more tips on how to avoid questionable jobs.

Thank you!
