Cui likes to access my Upwork account

Some days ago I received an email from a Chinese person who wants to access to my Upwork account (and I don't even have one):

Howdy? 😊😊😊

This is Cui from China, and I found your profile on GitHub. I have worked with so many companies so far. But I recently decided to start freelancing with an European Upwork account. Also, hope to collaborate with you on your projects.

I would put some words to why I need your help on Upwork and how it would be going for you.

- Why I need to use the European Upwork account?
As you know, Europeans are easier than Asians on Upwork to get a high hourly rate. Really, it is so difficult to get good jobs using the Asian Upwork account on Upwork. So I don't use a Chinese (Asian) account and want to only use the European Upwork account.

- How I can use your Upwork account?
If you have an Upwork account and don't use it, I wanna use it on your local computer via TeamViewer or AnyDesk. If not, you can create a new account for me. Also, I think if you use your Upwork account part-time, you can use it with me. Only I will use your account while you don't use your account.

- How we can transfer money with each other?
You can add Payoneer or PayPal to your Upwork account, and if I earn some money using your Upwork account, we can withdraw it via your Payoneer or PayPal. And then you can get 10% of the money from there, and you can send the rest of the money to my PayPal or Payoneer.

- Why I need access to your locale via TeamViewer or AnyDesk?
If I use your Upwork account using a virtual server such as VPN, VPS, or AWS, Upwork detects the proxy server IP and blocks your account. So if I can use your account, I must absolutely use it on your local computer via TeamViewer or AnyDesk. If you worry about your personal secret data on your computer, you can set up a VM on your computer, and I can use your account on the VM of your computer.

- You don't have to worry about me stealing from your Upwork account. Why?
Really, there isn't a need to steal and have your Upwork account without you. If I use your account on another location using VPN or VPS, your account will be blocked because of an IP location change. Also, Upwork requires video chat sometimes, and I can't do it without your help.

Hope to hear from you soon.

Cheers,

Cui
