Is this a scam? ---------- Forwarded message --------- From: <[email protected]> Date: Tue, Oct 21, 2025 at 10:11 AM Subject: Collabrations To: Alanmyersinquiry <[email protected]>
Hi Alan, This is Miguel from the Philippines. I'm a software developer with over 10 years of experience. I came across your GitHub profile and thought it would be great to connect. I'd love to explore the possibility of collaborating with you on some projects. My collaborators and I have been working on Upwork for 10 years, but recently it's become more challenging to secure new jobs. We decided to pursue more opportunities, and we noticed there are 'US only' jobs on Upwork that aren't visible to freelancers in other countries. We decided to grab those jobs as well. Some friends of ours in the US helped us out by letting us use their profiles to sign up, so we're now using US accounts. However, since we're non-native English speakers, it's challenging for us to land jobs. So you need to work like a middleman who does all kinds of technical interviews under someone else's name. That means you need to join the meetings with that given name, act like him. - We will pay you well based on hourly rate ($40/hr) every week. - You can bill all the hours you spend for interviews and studying. Please let me know if you're interested in. Thank you, Miguel
