Any info regarding Iapwe.org copywriting agency?

Did someone have past experiences with them? Are they reliable?
They asked for a free account to link a paypall account or a debit card.



Below you can find their reply to a colleague of mine:

Hi Prozies,

Below you can find their reply to a colleague of mine:

Dear X,

Thank you for submitting your application. Upon further review, we have determined that your sample meets our quality standards and are pleased to inform you that your application has been accepted.

We will ask you to also accept an invitation to our freelancer portal where we will assign writing and editing tasks.

All payments are made through Freelancer, which is a widely-used freelancing platform that is free to join. This will also help you gain experience and positive feedback on your freelancer profile, which will help you in getting hired by other clients on the platform as well.

You may also be interested in our membership. We offer several different membership options, including a free option, that provides lots of helpful resources for our writers and editors. Please keep in mind that we have open enrollment for new members intermittently throughout the year. This opening will be available until the end of this week. We have not had many openings as of late so we do not know when we will be accepting new members again.

To get started, please go to https://iapwe.org/register.

Please feel free to reach out if you have any questions about anything.

Best regards, ▲ Collapse

Thank you for this reply. I received the same message as Stefano and I was thinking of applying, but now I certainly won't.

They're only after your money Oct 10, 2023

I've had enough invitations like this to have learned that they mean nothing. They only want your personal information, which they can then use for who knows what, and your money if you're ingenuous enough to fall for their siren song. You'll never get any work from people like this and, unfortunately, our profession is infested with them.

was scammed by them Feb 13, 2024

I wish I had read this and other threads before yesterday… Upon receiving their invitation, I ended up registering with their "free subscription" plan, ending up having a recurring payment of $4,99 activated on my PayPal account, which was never mentioned in the registration plan.

Their Trustpilot profile tells everything. How is this organization still operating after years? ▲ Collapse
