      Everything should be done through the app. There’s already a chat feature in up work. There should be no need to move on to another chatting service.

    • @IsraelLlerena
      @IsraelLlerena 2 года назад +5

      @Lord Submissive if there’s a video call feature, messaging feature, and voice call feature all in UpWork, why would you ever need to move to email or anything else? You are supposed to stay on upwork so you have the protection. By going elsewhere, you’re literally just asking to be scammed. Seriously, just stay on the app.

      Thank you! I just got my first response from a potential client and I was very excited until I read that I was to contact a 3rd party on WhatApp. Not even the person who contacted me in Upwork, but another individual, with no first name and a very common last name: think "Williams" in the United States. Very suspicious.

    so i got engaged on one job, as data entry...i didnt manage to finish, i openely told them i couldnt finish upon the projected time. From the agreement, I was not supposed to get paid. So they asked for my paypal details, i sent then they sent me proof of payment, actually a full payment of the job i had applied for. On that document, there was a notion that the payment was not succesful because my paypal account was not linked with their bank payment server. so they asked for my ID photo, email and I have to pay for ID verification fee. I didnt reply them after that, cause that raised my eyebrows.

      hi sir, what if the client wants me to make social media accounts and then use photos of people who doesn't own that accounts like they want me to use photos of aussies who doesn't even known by the owner itself? and that is by making so many social media accounts and emails and he will pay me per emails or account made. is it a scam sir? first of all i think he wants me to use photos from sources in australia that they don't even know i will be using their photos to make it as the profile picture of each email or social media accounts i will create. should i go for it sir? maraming salamat po. :) God bless you more.

I selected "INTERVIEW" and we he asked me questions about my work history and personal my address and phone number to be documented for a new employee. He is willing to pay a high rate and is sending me a check in the mail to purchase some accounting software. He also says take $200 from the funds he is sending for myself as a "signing on bonus."
    What do you think? Scam or not?

So i made the logo and send it with my proposal. And later on, i keep waiting and waiting for about 2 or 3 days. Until i checked my proposal and then the project was still 0 interview and 0 hire. Its kinda stressful. I want some advice coming from you sir. Thank you and Godbless :-)

      don't do work before you make an agreement. but even then it may not work out unless it's hourly. i got scammed recently by a client who refused to work with me after I had done 80% or more of the work. now they have the work, and i have a dispute, and to avoid a negative nellie, i had to give up the dispute (which they would have ignored anyway) .. and if it hit arbitration then i wouldn't have won because they won't side with me if only 80% of the work is done.
