Freelance job scams: How to detect fake clients?

by allison watts Microsoft Dynamics Consultant

While you applying for a freelance job you must have awareness of these possible scams. a little investigative and careful look at the bidding and an agreement with clients

You should not only check the job description but also check the client’s payment verification and reviews about their work history. In case of any incomplete information and negative reviews don’t accept the freelance job.
Never accept any freelance job in which you have to pay any sort of fee or buy any package. It will make you lose.
Never agree to work or get paid outside the platform. It will leave you with no evidence when you are scammed by a fake client. Remember freelance platforms have policies that protect you.
If the client asks you to apply through any other website and that website asks to log in through your accounts or password, don’t accept the job. It will hack your account.
Don’t open the zipped file sent from the client if there is no need according to the job description. It can be a virus and it will ruin your system.
