If a person creates an ID on Upwork or Fiverr and includes experience or skills that they have not actually acquired. Then, when they receive work from a client that they do not know how to do themselves, they go to Facebook pages or groups and hire another person to complete that work. Afterward, they take the payment from the client, keep a portion of it for themselves, and give the rest to the person who actually did the work—
Is doing this permissible (shar'an durust) in Islam?
Does this act fall under the category of deception (dhoka) or forbidden earnings (haram kamai)?

You mentioned that you created your ID on Upwork/Fiverr and offered a skill that you do not possess, but what you do is connect with people, get the work completed, keep your share, and hand over the remaining portion to the person who accomplished the task. This is exactly what happens, and there is no harm in this.
Do one thing: correct your choice of words.
Instead of saying, "I will do these things," you can say, "I can take responsibility to have things done in a perfect/social way."
Use words like that. This is how it happens: I take my share and give the work/project to someone else.
