How Do You Do Visual Verification on UpWork?

Last updated on September 30, 2022 @ 12:16 pm

As a freelancer, you know that online security is important. You also know that when you’re working with a client, they may not have the same level of security that you do. This is where visual verification comes in. By verifying that the client is who they say they are, you can avoid working with someone who isn’t who they claim to be.

There are a few different ways to do visual verification on UpWork. The first is to check the client’s profile picture. If the picture is of a real person, and not a cartoon or stock photo, then it’s likely that the client is who they say they are. If the picture is fuzzy or unclear, it’s still worth checking out the client’s profile to see if there are any other clues that they may be who they say they are.

PRO TIP: There are many scammers on Upwork who will try to take advantage of you if you’re not careful. Be sure to do your research and only work with people who you trust. If someone asks you to do visual verification, be sure to ask them what exactly they need you to do and why. If they can’t give you a good answer, it’s probably a scam.

Another way to do visual verification on UpWork is to check the client’s name and location. If the name and location match, then it’s likely that the client is legitimate. If the name and location don’t match, then there’s a good chance that the client is using a fake name and/or location.

Finally, you can also check the client’s payment method. If the client is using a credit card or PayPal, then it’s likely that they’re legitimate. If the client is using an anonymous payment method, then there’s a good chance that they’re trying to hide their identity.

By doing visual verification on UpWork, you can avoid working with clients who aren’t who they say they are. This will help keep you safe and secure while you’re freelancing.
