Learn how to report spam proposals on Upwork by flagging and declining them so our team can review and take action against repeat offenders.
While you can’t block proposals from a specific freelancer or agency, you can help us limit repeat spam attempts by reporting them.
We will take action against reported users who demonstrate a pattern of inappropriate behavior. For the most effective response to spam, please complete the steps below if you receive a spam proposal:
- Report the cover letter as spam. Select the (...) options menu and choose Flag as inappropriate
- Select a reason why you think the proposal is inappropriate
- Choose Submit
- Decline the proposal
Completing these steps sends the information to us for follow-up. We'll investigate and take the appropriate action.
