It's my first time in OLJ, and nakatanggap po ako ng message from a potential client. However, upon clicking the application form, they're requiring me to submit a photo, which medyo nagtataka lang ako kasi "for what?" Is it a red flag po ba or not? I'm a bit hesitant knowing na rampant ang identity theft online. Appreciate your advice 🙇♀️

It's always better to do research about the company kung legit or not since hiring processes can all be different. As far as I know, there has been a rampant number of Chinese applicants posing as Pinoy freelancers, so baka they ask for it to check?
that's a red flag for me because none of my clients ever asked for a photo.
