If you can maybe contact people he has already hire before they doing deposit , they will be fine

Thank you, Nguyen!

I went ahead and forwarded it to the team for their review and action.

ETA: Nguyen, I'm just coming back here to note that users are not allowed to offer and accept payment outside of Upwork. It is also against the Terms of Service to ask freelancers to pay for work. It would be best if you read up on the "Safety First!" section of the freelancer resources we have compiled, these tips for avoiding questionable jobs, and this article for more information about working safely through Upwork.

Yes, it would be nice of them to reach out to the people who have applied and warn them before they are scammed.
