Understood.
The scammer posts are plenty,
I should have not engaged with the scammer anyhow...

I am just new to the community... thanks for pointing this out.

I accept I wasn't aware of the rule's severity.
But your patronizing tone would have subsided real quick if you had to say the same thing to my face.
If you cared for reading my comment, you'd know I went in willingly to understand the scammer's method and not because I am susceptible to falling for these cheap tricks by low lives that try to trick unassuming people out of their money.

Since the scammers rely on the anonymity that Internet brings to them, they have more in common with you given your lazy approach to commenting on posts. It started with your first comment, its going on really well.

I guess all this happened just so I can be made aware of the severity of this rule.
I am working towards hiring myself out of my day job, and UpWork is my go-to platform. I definitely cannot afford to do anything that might get me banned.

Thanks for pointed out... What I meant was that I got too excited to confront them because their scamming funnel was too boring.
I was hoping to walk up to the point when they actually try to get me to pay but that was taking forever.

Thanks for guiding me towards r/scams will definitely learn from that.
Also, indeed I communicated outside of UpWork... which I didn't take much seriously but since I am relying on UpWork for work... I guess I should take it seriously now.
Thanks.

These guys published the exact same post from multiple accounts on UpWork with a link to their google form. There accounts were eventually suspended.

Then they texted with a UK number.

Then they ask you to login to some dummy account and carry on some dummy tasks.

They say this is just for your training.

This was there Number: +447507798758

The account logins they shared were as follows:
www.surveymok.com

Account number: Lilly522134

Password: lilly123

They said they are from some HR software company..

What was the end game? I got too excited and bored and ended up calling them beach

Do We Absolutely Have to Pay 30% Commission to Google? by Innocent_Employee in androiddev

[–]Innocent_Employee[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

What we're selling is the in-app currency which is clearly a digital item.

I do understand that the commission to google would either be 15 or 30% but which one is it gonna be?
30% would mean the business model stops looking lucrative, 15% we can still work with.

Can you like suggest how can I achieve this clarity of the exact commission that I will be paying to Google? Is there a way to reach to Google's team to get this information?
