I hire regularly on upwork. There are a TON of developers lying about who they are or where they are in the world (I swear, despite the Russian embargo there are a lot of devs from Russia who have found loopholes via Turkey etc). The biggest problem I have is people trying to get a gig then asking to come off upwork. Don’t do this. You’ll get banned. Happened twice this weekend

But do preserve. We would hire at twice the rate when we can for a better more reliable set of reviews.

I don’t think it’s “loopholes via Turkey” but literally Russian people living in Turkey. They’ve moved there in droves since the draft began.

How do they actually catch people and enforce it?I’ve always wondered.

Unless they are asking to go off Upwork right in the Upwork chat tool (which is horrible)
