Subject: [E-trademarks] Job Platforms Allowing Scam "Recruiters"

*EXTERNAL TO GT*
Has anyone had recent success with getting a job platform (like FIVERR, UPWORK) removing a poster who is using a client’s trademarks (and copyrighted material) to “recruit” contractors?  (The scam is centered around requiring the Applicant to pay a fee to get work.)
