SCAMMERS

Hello. I want to address a serious issue. I bid on a promising project on Upwork, investing 15 connects. I received a response, and the client has sent a document asking me to send money first. I recognize this as a scam and also a violation of Upwork's terms of service, so I will not comply. However, what about the connects that I and other freelancers have invested in such projects? Please review the document the client has sent.
