Phishing on Freelancing Sites is common things these day for both client and freelancers. I want to share you my personal experience. There is two types of phishing in freelancer sites.
- Freelancer side: When freelancer wants to connect with client by different way like email or phone, what app to get project in spite of site where they meet each other.
- Client Side : Client try to connect with freelancer outside of freelancer site like freelancer .com, upwork, fiverr, peopleperhour.
Reason of Phishing:
- Freelancer feel unsecured some time, in starting face spacially when he didn’t not get any project easily. then he wants to client by wrong ways like phishing etc.
- When he don’t want to pay commission charged to freelancing site.
- Greed to low price services
- Make some fraud
Hope that will helpful
Thanks
