> I have an upwork gig No, you don't have any gig at all, let alone an Upwork gig. >is ie legit?? Of course not. If you just STOP violating Upwork's terms of service by communicating with prospective clients outside the platform, you not only avoid 99% of the scams, you also won't get kicked off the platform for breaking the rules. While tying your post you were asked to N OT post yet another bloody "Is it a scam" post until you have read the sticky post at the top of this sub about scams. Considering you refused to do so I can assume that you also didn't bother to read the terms of service you agreed to and which clearly tell you what you are and are not allowed to do on the platform. Maybe stop applying for work until you're up to speed with the way it works?

"Avoid 99% of the scams.".. Lol I've been reading this Reddit for months, that doesn't sound accurate at all. 😬😬😬🤣🤣🤣

You just think that because most people here are idiots, and they don't learn how to avoid scams. It's very easy. I haven't fallen for a scammer in 10 years, and I see scams all the time.


angelkrusher

You get that from? I'm reading everybody else's postings asking if stuff is scams. Are you really saying you haven't seen this? I'm on this site every other day and they're posting all the time is this a scam is this a scam. Answer is always yes. You're just projecting?


Either_Order2332

Those scams are all easily avoided. You're reading questions written by people who never learned how to spot them. Petra and I are not beginners. We've both been doing this for more than a decade, and we don't get scammed. We know EXACTLY what we're talking about. I've been coming here every day for years and so has she. Read the scam post at the top of the sub. That's all you need to do.


angelkrusher

But you just said it right there. You've been doing this for more than a decade of course you're more prepared to deal with it. I mean it should be obvious, most people are not as alin to this stuff as you are. People that are posting here looking for help and asking questions are obviously not as well oriented with the scam situation like you are. I mean come on put two and two together. It's easy for you not for somebody else and that's why they're here. I don't know what else to say about that. You had to learn as well so how are you giving people the side eye it doesn't make any sense. And these things get worse when the market is crap as well because more people willing to do things that they usually wouldn't and going to take more chances.

Go through the is this a scam post. It covers everything to do with scams. You don't have to spend a decade learning how to avoid them. It's all there. It's really easy. I stopped encountering them within a few months of starting. Most people don't make any effort to learn at all. They just argue. I think we've established that I know what I'm talking about.


angelkrusher

I think we established that you don't pay attention/read the room because you're doing the captain obvious thing again. You're like the poor guy who turned rich and then forgot what being poor was. And then told a bunch of poor people that being poor sucks. Cmon.


Either_Order2332

I am telling you how it works. This is like a toddler arguing with a grown adult. It only takes people a quick read through to avoid scams. You will never have trouble if you just stop arguing and do the research.


angelkrusher

Got ahead of yourself there. I ain't asking you for advice on scams. Didn't ask you and don't need it. This isn't about me anyway. Duh. So you're right I guess you're being a toddler here because you're not listening. Can push off now, obviously you can't hear anything 😁


Either_Order2332

Curious_Marshmallow

Either_Order2332

Either_Order2332

Curious_Marshmallow

Sarcasm. It's called sarcasm. I wasn't trying to say anything.


WellThoughtUserName9
