Employer Demanding Security Fee From Me On Freelancer by scory(m): 10:26am On Apr 23, 2021
Hello freelancer's earners.

I just got a project from an employer based in UK but his country indicates Netherland on his freelancer profile.

He's requesting for me to pay a refundable of 44£ before giving me the job which is "rewriting a PDF document of 22pages to Microsoft word" at 20$ par page.

I'm suspecting him to be a scammer.

Please, I want to know, are the employees paying security fees before landing their projects on freelancer?

I will like to hear and learn from the experts.
Thank you.

The payment is for what precisely?

Looks like scam.

I think you can also check the profile of the employer to see his rating

How can you "gawk" yourself like that??
You're even considering it!
No even think am!!

That's the oldest scam in the book, even if the account is verified and as old as Methuselah with 5,000 5 star reviews, no think am at all!
People can build accounts up and then use it to scam people because they've gathered credibility, happens everywhere. They just message a lot of freelancers with the same message, pack plenty money from the gullible ones, and disappear.

If you go dull yourself, your money flies through the window.
Report the account with evidence to the freelancer platform admin.
I'm surprised people still fall for this in this day and time.
Or are even considering falling for it. Imagine!

Imagine, $20 per page for ordinary rewriting/ converting pdf to word. Something you can do in minutes with free pdf converters.

Report him to admin with your chats as proof.

ask him to pay you a refundable N30,000 prior to you paying

Lol, this meme's funny, even though it's scripted (from the beggar's clean white clothes).

I can imagine someone actually trying it out with a few of those beggars on the streets, I'm sure some of them will fall for it.

It will make a good viral video.
