Money laundering

[f95db977]

Hi!

Few days ago, I got a response from a client. He posted a job of 400$ and he asked me that he just need a five star review. He asked me "

I will post a job with $400 and hire you and release

Then you will have $320 available and you can take $30 and send me back $290 in payoneer "

I am concerned is it involved in money laundering.?

Hi Hassan, 

I recommend stopping working and communicating with this client as this seems to be a scam. I will investigate this further and forward it to the team for review. Please know that I will not be able to come back here with more information to comply with our privacy policy.

In the meantime, please read up on the "Safety First!" section of the freelancer resources we have compiled, these tips for avoiding questionable jobs, this Community article, and these articles for more information about working safely through Upwork.

This was not an attempt at money laundering.

This was an attempt to steal money from YOU.

You would have been scammed.
