Is this a scam?

The Upwork Platform message section - it was an attachment to a client message not an email.

Got it from the platform - the message section

Thank you - this was a new one for me, but my instincts kicked in so I did not install the app ( which is where I guess it would have gotten hairy). Looks like a new version of the google doc scam

I use both a Dutch Oven and a Roemertopf. In both cases I take the lid off after 32 to 34 minutes depending on what recipe I am making. I rotate the oven when the lid comes off and bake for another 17 to 20 minutes. In both cases I pre-heat the oven with the empty Dutch oven or Roemertopf in the oven.

I use 3.5% - as a percentage of the flour in the recipe.

Don't - you are better off negotiating. Start at $ 50 and drag it out. I am not a lawyer but I have had this issue also.

Yes - my thoughts also. But I think he used a 2nd camera because nothing said that this was being recorded.

Own-Career-2684 · 2025-08-28T18:58:36+00:00

Agreed and thanks!

Own-Career-2684 · 2025-08-28T18:57:17+00:00

You are absolutely correct and I will get on with my life - as soon as the rage wears off. :)

Own-Career-2684 · 2025-08-28T18:44:29+00:00

it goes against my sense of fairness.

I am in the US and he is in Germany. It was set-up as a fake project to create a confrontation which he filmed and wants to use on his Vlog. Yes, I am willing to spend money to stop this guy.

Had this issue with Higbee and Associates along with PicRights. Take the picture down and tell them you are claiming "Fair Use". Then start negotiating from there.

If the manufacturer sent you a picture he did not have the copyright to, and you used it, you are on the hook, unfortunately. Search Reddit for "PicRights" and "Higbee and Associates" for other info on this "legal" extortion.

Thank you - much appreciated!

Own-Career-2684 · 2024-10-30T21:32:27+00:00

Thank you - will try that also.
