Freelancers, beware of such low-life clients 

In July, I met a client in a Facebook group who operated with a fake name known as Priya Singh. She told me to get connected on WhatsApp, and I did as asked. Here is the screenshot as proof.

Her Fb link: Priya Singh

Once we started the conversation, she told me that she releases payment after a writer completes 10,000 words, and I thought, Okay may maybe she works in this process. Since I follow some protocols too. This is the time when I got to know that her name is Sameer.

Note : The way she started the whatsapp conversation i knew that i was talking to a guy so thats why you would see that i am calling him sir before he said his name.

After this, I asked for

• for credentials 
• for a contract 
• for his company name 

He told me that he works for ATS Infotech. I  checked out the company, and I couldn’t find him in the employee list. Then I pressed further for clarification, and he got defensive and paranoid. He got exposed, and the game was over there. 

Then I made sure he got a taste of his own medicine and directly went all out with profanity.

Takeaway for freelancers 

• If anybody operates with a fake name, don’t indulge at all. 
• Always verify client details based on your research and investigation. 
• Walk away if the client doesn’t show transparency. 

Our craft takes a high amount of mental energy and talent. So don’t let scammers take advantage of it. 

Ats Infotech, if someone is using your name, please take note of this
