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 GigoraNetwork account.

Report suspicious messages or phishing links directly to GigoraNetwork Support.

## 1. Always Keep Payments Inside GigoraNetwork Escrow

GigoraNetwork 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 GigoraNetwork. Authentic buyers operate within GigoraNetwork's messaging system.
