Is this offer legit?

Freelancers here get targeted by the same few scams again and again. Check these before you trust an offer.

Red flags

You're asked to pay. Registration fee, training fee, joining fee, refundable deposit, "kit" charges. Real clients pay you, never the other way round.
Easy daily earnings. "Earn ₹2,000 a day", "daily payout", "just like and comment". These are task scams.
They move you to Telegram or WhatsApp straight away, before telling you what the work is.
They want your bank, UPI, Aadhaar or PAN details, or the login to your accounts, before any real work.
"Reddit tasks" or account rental. Paid upvotes, comments or renting your Reddit, Gmail, LinkedIn or Upwork account breaks platform rules and gets the account banned.
Overpayment. They "accidentally" send too much and ask you to return the difference.
No details. They can't say who they are, what the deliverables are, or what the budget is.

Good signs

A named company or person you can look up
A clear brief, deliverables and budget in writing
A deposit or milestone payment before you start
