Scammer Alert.
Hi community, new here so not too familiar with some of the dubious activities or protocol around reporting but unluckily I ran in to one today. A person claiming to have work correcting English grammar in PDF's. I sent a proposal in and got a reply a couple of hours later asking me to contact them on Telegram, they were claiming to be from flexjobs.com and proceeded to give me the info around the project. Being new I was believing it right up until they sent me a PDF and asked me to pay up front to prove I was serious about completing the project. Instant red flag. Hopped on to a live chat with the actual flexjobs website, they had never heard of the person or had no knowledge of the document that had been sent to me but were quick to point out it was a scam though I can see they have now cancelled the project.
I might have missed it but I couldn't easily find a way to flag this with the site administrators to lock these types of scams. Is there a quick way to flag.?
