Removal of Bidded Jobs

[d301eef2]

Please, why does Upwork remove most of the job posts that I bid for from the markeplace and my connects returned back to me? This is occuring always. I am new and out of about 7 jobs posts that I bidded for, only 1 (one) was not removed.....

Please, your advice will be highly appreciated.

Oliver, it's not like Upwork has some personal beef with you. I believe that the jobs you are applying for may not be legitimate due to the clients or scammers behind them.

You must be happy that Upwork is taking such serious action on removing the spam / scam jobs and you got your connects back. Lot of fellow freelancers are complaining in the forum that Upwork is not taking such action and their connects are getting wasted.

Jobs get filled and scams are removed.

Scammers target data entry freelancers. Read this post and learn how to recognise a scam when you see one: Top Red Flags for Scams: From Community Membe... - Upwork Community

Basically, any time you see a high-priced, easy typing job, it's a scam and there's no need to waste your time applying.
