Be aware.
Scammers are here!
I want to flag a scam that is actively targeting freelancers.
Someone contacted me offering to “rent” my Upwork account because their own account was suspended. They proposed:
• Full access to my Upwork and Payoneer accounts
• Remote control of my computer through AnyDesk
• A monthly payment in exchange for using my identity to submit proposals and complete work
They explicitly mentioned avoiding IP and device fingerprint detection.
This is account sharing, identity misuse, and likely fraud. If you agree, you risk:
• Permanent platform bans
• Frozen payment accounts
• Chargebacks and tax liability
• Your identity being used in scams
No legitimate professional needs to operate through someone else’s account.
If you receive anything similar, do not engage. Report and block.

Excited to be on Contra!
My Higgsfield annual plan is off to a great start. I'm three failed generations on their new vibe coding app. Just paid money for credits that get taken away if the actual system fails. lol I'm going to be straight up transparent about my experience using new tools like this. Atm i feel like i somehow simultaneously got great value and also got ripped off at the same time.
Oh, and SAAS Companies, wtf is up with making it seem like you're going to lose access to your membership if you turn off auto-renewal? Artlist does that and now i've learned so does Higgsfield. Shady af bro
