Signed Brief, Then the Portfolio File: Earn Over
A student remote sprint is a signed brief and a file you can show. Walk away when money is due before any deliverable. That refusal is the scam gate.
Proof is a file plus a signature. A badge from an unpaid mystery internship is not proof.

The sprint
- Signed brief: deliverable, test, dates.
- The file or link the brief named.
- Exam blocks already on the calendar.
Walk away
Pay-first pitches use the scam gate. A thirty-day continue-or-stop test is the lab.
FAQ
What if they will not sign?
Do the work only as a labeled practice file, unpaid by you and not described as a client.
Which platforms are vetted?
Ones whose payment page you opened. This page does not hand you a list of ten.
Can the portfolio hide the client name?
Yes. Do not hide that the brief was unsigned if it was.
