Key Takeaways & Executive Summary
Never accept off-platform payments (wire transfer, external gift cards, etc.).
Always verify that funds are funded in Escrow before starting work.
Enable Two-Factor Authentication (2FA) on your Gigora account.
Report suspicious messages or phishing links directly to Gigora Support.

1. Always Keep Payments Inside Gigora Escrow

Gigora Escrow protects both freelancers and employers. Taking payments off-platform voids all payment guarantees, dispute resolution rights, and identity protection.

2. Recognizing Phishing & Contact Off-Site Scams

Be wary of clients who immediately ask to communicate on Telegram or WhatsApp before an official contract is established on Gigora. Authentic buyers operate within Gigora's messaging system.
