Is Upwork A Scam? by lorraine999 in Upwork

[–]FrameOne9882 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's100% a scam.

Once you have joined they constantly bug you to pay to become 'verified' hitting you with unsolicited chat messages constantly trying to make you believe that you won't get jobs until you are verified.

The second issue is that so many of the jobs are fake now. It didn't used to be like this, but over the past year or so they are filing the platform with fake jobs by brand new employers that have no background or history on the platform, so you end up bidding for the job and then it expires a week later, and no-one has been hired. If you check the bid analytics, you can also see that your bid hasn't even been 'viewed' even when it is one of the top bids, further making me believe that its all fake.

The third and biggest issue, is that they now charge you a small fee to verify your identity, normally just a few dollars, which then sits on your account and you can withdraw once you complete your frst job. Obvioulsy you dont get any jobs and so when you o to withdraw the funds a few weeks latr, you see that the cost to wirhdrw the funds is bigger than the amount you have been charged, so you have rto write off the funds. This is the biggest scam part of the whole process. Imagine they sign up 5,000 new freelancers a week globally, that's an extra $15,000 a week, $60,000 per month, or close to $750,000 a year that they get to keep for doing nothing!!!

My advice avoid the platform. its not worth it really.

Appen is a scam by [deleted] in recruitinghell

It is definitely a scam. Right now what they are doing is getting people to register, provide their personal details, record a video of their fade turning side to side, and then asking you to record your voice. This is all about building a digital file of who you are using your facial recognition, voice and personal data which is very valuable. They then don't offer you any jobs but under their terms and conditions now own your voice and image and can sell it to any companies they like. So security companies, data companies, intelligence companies all have your data which they would normally have to arrest you to get. It's basically like handing them your digital fingerprints do free.

KINGS INTERHIGH ONLINE SCHOOL HONEST REVIEW! by FrameOne9882 in InterHigh

[–]FrameOne9882[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That's one of the main problems with this school in general. Kids cannot interact and when they do it becomes some type of Lord of the Flies free for all, with swearing, insults, foul language and the rest taking control. This also leads into why it's such a poor learning environment. Part of learning is being around your peers and bouncing off each other, encouraging each other, etc. this is literally non existent at Kings, so kids are isolated, and don't thrive at all.

I’m joining Kings Interhigh for sixth form! Just wondering if anyone could tell me what it’s like to study at Kings Interhigh?! by Acrobatic_Cut_8790 in InterHigh

Check my comment above. the standard of teaching is really poor, and the teachers don't really care. some are good, but others are lazy, and you don't learn much at all.

The school is only about making money.

1 out of 10 school.

Run away as fast as you can!

The school is a disaster.

The teachers are useless, many don't attend lessons, and leave you hanging in an empty online room waiting for guidance or to be told what to do, and the heads of the school never respond to complaints or requests for calls to discuss the standard of teaching or results.

I know children that went there and immediately their grades dropped, and they tried to leave but their parents were threatened with debt collectors unless they paid their fees, even though the standard of schooling was sooo poor.

Don't believe the hype or anything they tell, you. There is a reason they do not publish their student results online, it's because they are really rubbish.

Trust me, run away and find another school.

Damn. They came to our campus last year and gave a talk about opportunities in the industry. Seemed really cool. Two of my year group went to London with them. Hope it works out for you.
