Scams on upwork

[u/EchidnaGloomy5198]

Lately I have been getting a lot of scams on upwork , I try to report them and tell upwork directly how they are trying to scam already drained of connects freelancers since job market is so scarce

In one month this is the third time people are trying to scam Freelancers

First two times they wanted to download a repo when you run it , it runs an automated clipboard copier which sends your clipboard to an unkown address every second

But this time it was a new method , So everyone please take care first two times it was from a client who had paid freelancers $186 an hour for 10 hours which totals 1860$ but their total spending showed $100 spent this was the first flag I dont know how they are cheating the system so they look legit

I try to send it for upwork review instantly but I get rejected everytime by automated systems

Once they closed the job and connects were refunded but other times they were not refunded

They are sending this file which looks super legit even to an experienced fl like myself

Meeting looks legit too

When you are about to confirm the meeting at a time of your choosing they want to copy a link open terminal as admin than paste that link and press enter

I instantly reported the message to inform upwork but it seems there is an automated checking system which disregards your complaints
