Is there any law protecting the freelancers from nit getting scammed?

Depending on the platforms ad the countries, there are many laws and acts that protect the freelancers from nit getting scammed and non-payment by the clients. However, it is always better for the freelancers themselves to get themselves prepared against scam rather than hoping on the laws for protection. For instance, they can request payment upfront and even then can set deliverable payment terms before they start working for clients. They may even withhold the final works until being paid.
