There was a concerning post on HN about upwork's impersonation problem: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=32096656

I don't think I'd ever put my information on their platform, and I'm also considering getting off linkedin for similar concerns.

The spam profiles on UpWork tend to borrow identities from other parts of the internet and not other UpWork profiles. When I reverse image search my applicants’ profile photos, the fake ones are mostly taken from LinkedIn.
