Payment? How I get paid when I finish the job?
I get scammed by Mark Thomas Media (https://www.markthomasmedia.com/)
I believe someone presents themself with this name and scams around, ruining the name of this company!
All the projects I ever sow in here were with no details and contacting some people over telegram, which is so weird.
Take care people, and don't get in a trap by these.
Can someone answer the question and explain the real, legal way to get paid when you finish the job?
I want to know the process and the steps, and how it goes.
Thanks,
N.

The way to avoid these scams is quite simple. If the word "Telegram" appears in the description, leave it because it is a scam. If you think it might be real and you are interested, submit a proposal through People Per Hour and ask for a deposit. It is reasonable to ask for 100% if you have not worked with a buyer before or you are unable to break the project into smaller pieces. Then forget about it. Only if they accept the proposal and pay the money into escrow do you actually work on the project. Once it is complete, you can raise the invoice and if the buyer doesn't pay it after 15 days, you can raise a support ticket with PPH and ask them to transfer the money from escrow to your account to pay the invoice.
