Yes o! He can’t do this to other freelancers anymore, at least not anyone in my circle

You are good with thumbnails

[@thespeakingpen]

Thanks for the compliment. I am currently split testing two thumbnails for this. Did you see the one with white background on the one wit lemon background? Or did you see the word “busted” or “caught”?

When encountering individuals from Pakistan or India on platforms like Upwork and Fiverr, I run. I unfortunately fell victim to a situation three months ago where the individual claimed to be from the United States but was actually in India. Despite facing a refund request and receiving a negative review, I refuse to be disheartened. I am determined to persist and overcome these challenges.
Thanks,

Exactly. they disguise their personality. This guy also disguised himself to me as a US client on Upwork. I raise suspicion of him with my wife when I observed he was misconstruing the US time zone.

[@yutieedaniel8397]

I’d like to ask, when you accepted the gig, did he show payment verified on Upwork and still scam you?

Yes
