Ask Can a freelancer report a job posting that looks like a scam on a freelance platform?

[Brendan]

There are job postings on almost every platform that look suspicious, whether it is unusually low pay, vague work descriptions, or requests for personal information upfront. Most platforms do have a report button somewhere, but it is not always clear what happens after you report a post or how long it takes for the platform to review it. Some freelancers feel like scam posts stay up too long before anything is done. If you have ever reported a suspicious job posting, did the platform actually remove it, and how quick was their response?
