Henry's short stories -21k for 3500 Euros. The catch is that the upfront payment required creating an account with unitypayglobal.com, which is an unverified form of payment listed as "financial scam" by my antivirus. I told her that the page was not secure and she said that I should use my mobile to create the account, which of course I didn't. Please note everything looked pretty normal (they provided extensive project details and very detailed project instructions), and also they quickly moved from email communication to Teams.<br />These people will surely change the name from Susan Lee to other fake name, so just be aware of scammers.
