Scams

[machadomatias]

Hello, I want to know what to do, this is the second time in less than 2 weeks that supposed clients try to scam me, the first due to a suspicious contact and the second the supposed client sent me ransomware, I really don't know how to deal with these situations since I'm only searching I work and I really trusted upwork, I go with the best attitude and it seems unfair to me to have to go through these situations
