There are scam websites that are also doing the same tactics like the typical scams that will ask the freelancers to ask for an amount to get deposited for them to "promise" their employment.
Not only websites but likely scam employers. So, it happens on many platforms so please be mindful on that and if you're an aspiring freelancer and they're asking you to have some deposits, never oblige yourself to follow that instruction.
Don't get blinded by simple red flags for your own sake.
