bryce_herbst Posted August 12, 2019 Share Posted August 12, 2019 Is anyone else getting messages from users, suggesting you make an upwork account for them, in return, they will give you a monthly sum? I know this is some sort of scam, but just curious to know what their intentions are? 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
misscrystal Posted August 12, 2019 Share Posted August 12, 2019 I’ve gotten that several times over the past two years. I think lots of people who post on the forum must get that. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mccullougha Posted September 10, 2019 Share Posted September 10, 2019 I just had my first buyer scammer wanting to use my Upwork account. Do people really fall for this scam? The scammer would not tell me in the Fiverr message, he gave me a link to view that had the whole scam typed up. I remained on Fiverr for the conversation and told him I was using my Upwork account, sorry. The scammer has not sent me another message. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
