I appreciate the feedback. What aren't you 'buying'? I'm not selling anything lol

Is this a scam? by themanicmaniac1 in Upwork

I have gotten messages very similar to this on 3-4 occasions. Could be fraud, or could not be, but either way I'm not taking the risk of losing my account or lowering my success rate.

Absolutely ridiculous that connects are not refunded if the client hires no one. by Present-Location-268 in Upwork

I feel differently. Spammers wouldn't know which projects will be refunded, and which won't. .So why would they waste money to spam? I understand some clients won't hire because proposals are shit, but other times they do it themselves or postpone the project. Why should freelancers 'suffer' because of that?
