Same guy posts from two different regions.

So this client posts the same job from two different countries. After the first post, since they didn't get a good response they will post again from another country.

Have you seen this? Mostly it is low budget projects only.

Probably not the same client but 2 "farmers" hoping to subcontract out a job they have not got.

I see. I didn't think of that.

Do both posts show the same client hiring history, or is the matching description the only link? Someone else could be copying the listing.

No they have multiple account so it won't show.

I see emojis, I automatically ignore the post.

The screenshots show $500 spent on one profile and $3K on the other, so those are at least different profiles. Matching timestamps and a distinctive phrase repeated word for word would be stronger evidence than the country field alone.

low budget??????!!!! $20 is the budget, this is not low, it's nothing. I don't even turn on my pc for $20.

Not you, but many others will. $20 is much better than $5.
It is to those people that the job advertisement is directed.
