Scam contentsPseudos-Halifax public library Halifax central library Telegram Names: Wilson Andy,Rita Daniel, GloriaFx Work
The fraudster approached me on Upwork to convert 30 written images to word and pdf document within 48 hours and that they pay $40 per image.The frauster says they are from halifax public library, and halifax central library. Payment to be made after completion and submission of the project.This was a total SCAM and FRAUD! Upon submission of the work , they say the payment method you provide is not possible for them so the direct you to the website called home.peoplesbase.com for online banking which is also a scam website. Later they ask for processing fee of $50 when you want to use a different payment method other than the website.
Comment / ReviewThey insist on communication on telegram (and hide telephone numbers )which is outside the main work website and there is no deposit or any monies to be paid upfront. I was a bit hesitant but they swore that everything is genuine. They use the name as Halifax Public Library and Halifax Central Library as their organization's name. They tend to convince innocent people and play with emotional intelligence. First they lie about being paid after working. Secondly, they say the payment method you gave is not going through-transaction fail. Thirdly they direct you to peoplesbase.com which is a a flagged site used to scam innocent people of their money once you register or key in your details. Forthly, they ask you to pay certain amounts as processing fee in order to get paid.

        I was facing the same thing while ago, two different names from Halifax public and giving very simple easy task to retype the image content and convert to PDF and offering high payment like 15usd /page and also when completing the project requesting a payment fee which is 150USD as monetary policy and it must pay to release the payment, thank god atleast I realized later on it is a scam, untill you finish the task they won't tell you there is an fee involved after wasting our time then once start the payment process they are come up with fee and all, be aware plsssssss scammers will approach with different designs
