New to Upwork Employers

Has anyone had their time warped, by a "soft scam" aka fishing employer?  Curious about others' experiences?  They are new to Upwork, and think that we are here to waste time doing proposals, talking with them, having them say they are writing up offers, but then they blame you for needing basic information, or an actual offer in writing on Upwork follow-up,  in order to actually help them with their needs.  I thought I was good at sniffing scams, but this is a soft sell, with real people who are abject time-wasters.
