I'm having a harder and harder time telling scams apart from real gigs. Not only did I almost fall for a scam in 2022, I bet I also filtered out real clients.
The difference between a not-so-professional client asking for you to reply trough another app or a scam artist trying to use urgency to get your critical voice to quiet down... Is vanishing.
Scam artist: wants to talk on Telegram.
Real client: wants to talk on Discord.
Wish I could afford to always say "I don't like to be rushed".
