new to upwork but...

i already consumed my connects but unfortunately, all the job I applied for were all scammed. all of them told me to contact them via telegram then after I watched the videos on how to do the job that I applied for. They sent me a contract with security deposit fee.. but luckily  dont have enough money to pay the security fee. Its a blessing in disguised! 😅

So sorry to hear this happened to you and that you will have to wait for your connects to be returned before you can apply for more jobs, or else pay for more. Not surprising though given the number of scam posts they can't prevent and the lack of warning freelancers about them when they sign up, instead of after the fact. Please read this to help you spot them in the future: https://community.upwork.com/t5/New-to-Upwork/List-of-red-flags-for-scams/m-p/1017044/highlight/true...
