Hum, this is not a new history. The same history with exactly the same messages happened a few years ago to other (the same?) girl if i'm not wrong. I have seen before the word bombchelle somewhere.

There was also the anecdote of some people (mostly freelancers based in Africa or Asia) using stock photos of smiling blonde caucasian models to create a fake sense of trust (and the other freelancers disclosing it for fun again and again). I remember stock photos taken directly from the web of a dental clinic for example, or appearing in the first positions in google under the tag "entrepreneur" and so. It was an arms race, with upwork banning each time and the fake accounts reappearing and refining their methods each time

As general rule of thumb, If it looks handsome, young and dressed like a model in a studio of photography, is probably fake.

Probably because this blog post is from 2016.

So you are saying this thing is a lie? Did you note that the post was published "Oct 24, 2016"?
