How to understand that the client is an intermediary?

Question

Freelance

The customer on upwork behaves suspiciously. When I took the order, there were no suspicions in it, but during the work the idea arose that he was an intermediary. The question is not about this client - I will not work with him anymore - but about the next ones: how to immediately understand that the client is an intermediary? What you should pay attention to? In addition to the lowered price of the order. If yes, please share your experience with intermediaries.

Answer 1

It does not matter at all whether a direct client or an intermediary. Or an intermediary between you and an intermediary.
There are only two really important things:
- the amount for which you are willing to do this work
- the amount that you are willing to pay for this work
Well, if the presence of an intermediary is very jarring, consider it as a PM )
