Hi Annie,
Thank you for your note. Company removed the add as soon as I requested to keep communication via Upwork, so I was not able to click on flag anymore. They removed it literally in a second. I then replied via message I received. I hope you have received my report.
Regards,
Srdjan

Regrettably, Upwork has seen an increase in scam activity. Recognizing these scams requires a discerning eye due to their sophistication. As a precaution, avoid applying for jobs with unverified payments and exercise caution with postings containing unusual wording or vague descriptions. Stay cautious of positions seemingly tailored for new users. Navigating the platform and becoming familiar with its nuances is essential to spotting potential scams early on.

I have also noticed this as a new freelancer to Upwork. I have requested that communication stay on Upwork, at least until the job details have been worked out and agreed upon. I hope they are able to do something about this, it is hard when first getting started to have so much spam. It can be very discouraging.
