! Scam alert. Be aware!

:exclamation::exclamation::exclamation: Scam alert :exclamation::exclamation::exclamation:

Over the weekend I have got an email requesting the web design work. And after replying to that email this morning, I have got a pretty weird email back. Some prases and things in that email raised a red flag to me so I did some search and found out for sure it is a scam (Phishing Scam Targeting Web Designers and Other Creatives).

So, be aware and do not fall for that “nice” budget.

Thank you! I got the same email last night. Looks like they are going through the Memberstack listings now as well.

@sabanna Thanks so much for pointing out! Had no idea this was a thing. I’ve removed their listing from the Memberstack requests we share with design/dev freelancers & will drop everyone an update as well. :pray:
