It's time to make the freelance platform Upwork.com safer to use!

Created by C.D. on August 29, 2016

The monopoly, Upwork.com is a global freelancing platform where businesses and independent professionals connect and collaborate remotely. There are hundreds of people being scammed by criminals they ALLOW onto their site and clients expecting slave labour from workers. They ADMIT they do NOT screen their freelancers or monitor account activities making Upwork a perfect haven for fraudulent criminals. By taking a commission fee they are PROFITING from these illegal activities. They do not have enough in place to protect both the freelancer and client, this website could be used/is for a number of illegal activities including terrorism - right under their noses. We want the government to demand Upwork CEO Stephane Kasriel to make this website SAFE and FAIR to use!
