Possible Scam? What should I do?

[aflanders89]

I applied for a job on Upwork. It was titled, "Need to hire English teachers/Content writers as freelancers". It seems like they are running a scam by trying to get freelancers to work for free. They wanted a free sample. Unfortunately, I supplied a sample for them. They wanted multiple revisions. Then asked that I complete more work outside of the sample without pay. When I asked for a contract with Upwork, they refused. They have been emailing me instead of messaging in Upwork. I had to give them my email to have access to their google document. I already flagged it as inappropriate, but I thought I needed to do something else since it looks like there are 6 other freelancers with interviews with this company.

Good you flagged it. Upwork should IMMEDIATELY notify the other people who applied and tell them about this before they also get scammed.
