Sourcing Upwork reviews - what to consider?

[AspiringNomad]

For those who have sourced Upwork reviews here on BHW, I am looking for advice on:

1. How does it work, meaning what are the steps?
2. What does the pricing look like?
3. What are important considerations? Reading some threads here on BHW, some tips I've seen:

• Space out the reviews. What structure do you recommend?
• Look for minimm Jr. Vip-level suppliers.
• Require aged US/European accounts with job spend history.

4. Can Upwork detect and ban you? How to best avoid that?
5. Any suppliers that you have worked with and can recommend?

Thanks in advance for any help!

1. The review provider will pretend to be an upwork buyer. He will create a project and you will apply and eventually get hired
2. Usually reviews cost around $10 each + project price ( this will be refunded basically to your upwork once the delivery is complete so the review provider only pockets the difference $10 )
3. Make it look natural max 1-2 reviews per day
4. No they can't ban you if everything is done right

Instead of sourcing reviews, focus on landing smaller legit jobs first to build real feedback.
Organic reviews tend to stick and carry way more weight.

Been trying exactly that for a while and it is very tough for newbies.

This is true that the only way to gain people trust so they can hire you

Yes if they catch you they will ban you and there is no second chance. Creating account again will be almost impossible for you.
So everything you ask here depend on if your seller can guarantee a no ban?
As far as where to buy you can't buy or sell reviews at bhw anymore:

Oh, I had no idea that it's no longer allowed on BHW. Thanks very much for pointing that out!

Buying or sourcing fake reviews is against Upwork’s terms and can lead to permanent suspension.
It’s risky long term and can destroy account credibility.

Buying fake reviews is against Upwork’s terms and condition and can lead you to permanent suspension, BUT you can move your client to upwork and use it to collect payment so they can write a reveiw for you
OR you can tell your friends to order your service for you from Upwork and give you a review

I forgot, you can also add testimonial from LinkedIn to you Upeork profile, It workd almiost like a review, if you can convince your previous client to write a detailed testimonial for you and you will add it to your upwork profile
