There are few trusted freelancing platforms from which you can earn. I have also used these trusted platforms.

How to avoid these scams.

  1. When someone asks you to pay a security fee to get work, Consider it a Scam.
  2. If a client is not verified from the platform, don’t work with these types of clients.
  3. Don’t start work until the client activates the milestone or places the payment in Escrow.
