Your instinct is right! Avoiding such jobs is better than progressing with them and then complaining about scams. The issue with some freelancers is that they suspect the job is a scam, but because of the promises and payment, they go for it to end up even more disappointed. Because now not only that you did the work with zero payment but you've been exploited and taken advantage of. Scammers prey on others' vulnerabilities, so it's crucial to stay vigilant and cautious to avoid regret and feeling bad about ourselves later on.

1. It is ToS violation. Money washing not allowed.

2. Scammer wont pay real money. Upwork will force you to refund because 1. You will lose 70% you have sent to scammer and wiil be banned for fraud activity.

Nothing weird here, all clear.

Yes. It has SCAM written all over it.

No belittling you at all.

I belittle Upwork. It has the responsiblilty to eyeball these types of scams - screening them before they are posted! While we have to be diligent in this by getting familiar with the terms of service.

Upwork is getting paid...mostly by freelancers 🤑🤑🤑. So it is an expectation on the part of the paying customers to get some semblence of service and a high level of security.
