Hi Upwork family!

Kindly help me in understanding the fake job posts on Upwork as it lets in wastage of connects and money. For me fake jobs are as follows:

1) Location and time mismatch - Location is say US and during night time in states, on upwork client time shows as afternoon 12:30 PM.

PLease help me if location and time has any reference or not.

re: "Please help me if location and time has any reference or not."

This has no importance. I have never judged a job posting based on the time zone of the client.

Please do not flag job postings based on their time zone.

Also: If a client states that she wants a job posting to be only for freelancer from a specific area, such as the United States or United Kingdom, that is fine. That is an intended feature of the platform. You may not flag job postings based on that.
