There are scam artists in every realm of the world, oDesk is no different. There are a lot different odesk scams out there, most of these will pay a percentage of a job up front and not pay the rest when a project has been completed. Some odesk scam artists will have a great job listing and contact individuals to complete offers before training begins. These offers will have absolutely nothing to do with the job description. Some clients may ask for personal contact information such as a personal email address or phone number trying to phish for information. Post your announcement here Our odesk review; One of the most creative oDesk scams has been to ask for samples of one's work and the client ends up publishing it as their own. If a random invitation to interview for a position is received and it has nothing to do with the credentials listed, it is likely a phishing scam. This is one of the easiest oDesk scam tactics to spot. One of the best ways to prevent anyone from getting wrapped up in an oDesk scam is to do extensive research before committing to a contract ask; is odesk safe? If a client is new and hasn't paid anyone stay clear of them. If their payment method is not verified, do not work with them. A verified payment method if working hourly provides 100% certainty that the project will be paid for. Another tip is to: Read client reviews before accepting work. If someone was not paid or felt that they were part of an oDesk scam it will be stated it honestly in their review. Even researching a client before accepting a contract still may not keep clear of a potential scam. Some of these clients are very good at making themselves look legitimate. If any uncertainty remains about a client, contract or other information obtained do not accept a contract and contact oDesk for reassurance. Why everyone should Love Odesk! Only someone who has spent years on odesk can give odesk real review. ODesk does a great job in its pursuit to protect its users.

1. Group of Springhill South Korea: The Laziest Scams in Internet History: Zimbio GROUP OF SPRINGHILL SOUTH KOREAGroup of Springhill South Korea 2. Business Week - Zimbio - April 20th 2012 - A certain "Sehwan Jung" in South Korea has been sending a number of desperate requests for funds over Twitter: "I am in urgent need of money.Can you lend me 500,000 dollars?I will make it up to youlater." A diabolical plot, indeed, though Mr. Jung's scam is unlikely to work. For one, people can see everything someone sends on Twitter and quickly realize he's sent the exact same message over and over. For another, he is tweeting almost exclusively to celebrities, including Channing Tatum, Rosario Dawson, Carly Simon, journalist Nicholas Kristof (who today sarcastically answered, "Sure!"), and the foreign minister of Bahrain, Sheikh Khalid bin Ahmed Al Khalifa. 3. "Now this one is a real winner," says Dan Ring, a spokespersonfor Boston-based data protection company Sophos. "SehwanJung's list of celebrities is almost as entertaining and asrandom as his actual request, and it's one of the moreoptimistic requests out there. I hope there's no way someonewill fall for this." - Group of Springhill South KoreaThe "Sehwan gambit" joins the following examples as one ofthe laziest scams in Internet history.* "JOHN" fails to mention what he even wants to con you out of:Subject: what are you saleGreetings,My name is JOHN, i am highly interested in buyingyour{ what you want to sale } from you ,I will like you to give methe FINAL ASKING price and the lastes condition,also i will likeyou to scan the pics for me for proper verifycation. 4. * This scammer doesn't even attempt to establish apersonal connection before offering $18 million:Beloved,I am Elizabeth Etters, a Christian.I picked your emailrandomly for an inheritance of $18M.
