Fake Check Scam

Be aware, just started this site and the first job I came across was someone trying to scam me with a fake check. If anyone is trying to give you a check and asks you to deposit it so you can purchase xyz stuff, its a scam.

Fortunately, I just walked away and blocked the person.

This was under the Data Entry job postings

 

I would love to report this person but unfortunately, the profile is gone.

Hi Richard,

 

Thank you for your message. I checked the job post you were referring to and it appears that it's already been taken down because it was in violation of Upwork TOS.


Please check out this course for more tips on staying safe on Upwork and please use the flag option found on each job post or message anytime you’d like to report a violation.

 

Thank you,

Pradeep
