Return Connects used on jobs that were taken down

Hi,

 

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

 

Thanks.

They do. You get those connects back.

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

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

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.
