The Upwork "connects" is a form of paradox fraud... IMO

[21d1579b]

Applying to freelancing jobs through upwork,

lately, most of the ones that I applied to are the ones that are the same ones that are automated and fake...

Almost all of these jobs cost around 5-7 connects. where you cant go down in connects to apply.

Here are the replies back to back lately: all automated asking me to interview on I.e. signal... 

All of these responses are automated...

You have to then buy connects to apply to jobs. The paradox of applying to automated false jobs without knowing.

Flag the jobs as scams. You will get your connects refunded when they are removed for violating the TOS.
