Fraud is likely a huge issue on Upwork

- Set up fake profile

- Set up a bot army to vote you up

- Take clients money, never deliver or deliver some random crap duct taped together with ChatGPT README

This part is usually solved with escrow systems so the scammer wouldn't get anything until the client confirms they're happy, so why isn't that what Upwork is doing?
