Scams
This is my first time being on this website as a freelancer and the first job that is accepted by a client, it's a scam. Luckily, I didn't provide any personal information to banking, even though there were multiple attempts to get details. With attempts of sending money to a Zelle account for "equipment" needed for a job that still was not fully detailed and just so many different names being used to collect money. The original poster of the job after accepting the proposal never heard from him again. This is scary being that this is supposed to be a safe place and will be deleting my account.

Im starting to think this entire site is a scam I have had similar situations and have been contacted by at least 5 people or “companies” about projects/jobs and they have all been scams. They’ve asked me to conduct messaging interviews thru skype or telegram app and whenever I would ask to have a phone interview instead they always had excuses why they couldn’t. One company sent me a fraudulent check and said it was for me to buy “working equipment” I needed for the “job”. This is very scary because there is alot of identity theft comitted all the time and I hope this doesn’t happen to me. Im really disappointed because I was really looking forward to finding legitimate freelance work on this site.

I just had similar experience now. A buyer sent me a message saying they looked into my profile and it looked good for a Customer Support Assistant position in their company.UAL (White Heritage ) They sent a code for an interview session on Skype, but it just didn't feel right so I had to come here to verify if this is something I should follow up or a scam. From the comments here, I can tell that I would be a victim if I go ahead. This really needs to be looked into and solved. This is my first time being here, I just got in few days ago and this is really discouraging. The poster redirected me to a Steven Huang on Skype. I believe this is scam and should be delt with decisively.
