I want to warn other freelancers about a scam targeting talented developers. first of all i request admin to remove : Brittany Chabot all happen through this skool community . I was contacted by someone claiming to be Brittany Chabot, Project Supervisor, offering a freelance project. They said my payment would be processed through Windsor Public Library and asked for my bank details to upload to their “payment portal.” Here’s why it’s a scam: 1. Fake company info – A public library does not pay freelancers like this. 2. Unprofessional communication – They used a Gmail address (windsorpubliclibrary652@gmail.com) and even added emojis. 3. Pressure tactics – They kept saying things like “upload your details in less than 5 minutes” to rush me. 4. Fake fees – They asked me to buy a “SAFF Membership Card” to get my “salary.” Real clients never ask freelancers to pay to get paid. 5. Promises of instant payment – Scammers often promise quick money, but it never happens. I only shared my IBAN and basic bank info, which cannot be used to steal money. I did not share OTPs, PINs, passwords, or email access, which would have been dangerous. Key lessons: - Always check if the client’s email and company are real. - Never pay money to get paid. - Use secure payment platforms like Payoneer, Wise, Upwork escrow, or PayPal. - Ignore pressure, fake portals, or membership fees. Scammer info for awareness: - Name used: Brittany Chabot, Project Supervisor 🧭🌐 - Email: windsorpubliclibrary652@gmail.com - Story: Payment requires a “membership card” and portal registration. Freelancers, stay safe. Trust your instincts and verify clients before sharing anything.

Hey, I’m Asad, based in Pakistan. I’ve been coding for about 3 years, working as a full-stack MERN developer, and I’ve had the chance to ship production-level applications in real job environments. I know my skills, especially on the frontend, and I take pride in the work I deliver. I truly love what I do. I show up every day trying to get better, learning, fixing my mistakes, and pushing my limits. But I’ll be honest—there are moments where I feel lost in direction, not because I lack ability, but because I’m unsure where my effort will matter the most. I’ve tried freelancing. I get some work here and there, but deep down I want more than just small gigs. I want to work with people who challenge me, guide me, and help me grow, not just pay me. I care about building things properly, about writing quality code, and about becoming a developer I can truly respect years from now. Hearing that platforms like Upwork are saturated or dying has added to the confusion. I know I’m capable, I know I can deliver, yet breaking into international clients or meaningful long-term opportunities feels harder than it should be. Right now, I’m not giving up—but I am seeking clarity. I want to understand the right path forward: where to focus, how to position myself, and how to connect with opportunities that actually value the work and the person behind it. If you’ve been through this phase or have any guidance to share, it would genuinely mean a lot to me.
