Return Connects used on jobs that were taken down

[#1]

Hi,

I figure Upwork should consider offering back connects on jobs that ultimately ended up being scams or were brought down for infringement.

Thanks.

[#2 · Accepted solution]

They do. You get those connects back.

[#3]

I submitted proposal to that "**Edited for Community Guidelines**" job on purpose but didn't get my connects back.

[#4]

You probably will when upwork takes it down. The question is, why do you apply to an obvious scam? What is your strategy here?

[#5]

It takes up to 48 hours and that was a fake proposal anyway.

1. I have over 230 connects lying around which will end up taken away by Upwork so decided to waste them for some fun.

Then you don't really need them back anyway 😉

I just received a message from the poster! The poster is, or pretending to be a lady.

She didn't formally reply to my proposal but just set up a zoom call.

I'm thinking to share the screenshots...

You are communicating outside of upwork before hire, this is not allowed and can get you in trouble. I can understand having a little fun, but that's not worth your profile.

No, Martina, we're communicating through Upwork messenger, not outside. Also, I never accepted her zoom call.
