ADVICE NEEDED - FREELANCER.COM - I'm looking for answers, please give me your advice

Hi everyone :),

hope you to find you well. Recently I signed up on "freelancer.com" after checking that its reputation was legit. Unfortunately as days are passing by, bid after bid to get jobs, all I am getting is scam messages.

I have to say that the platform closed these scam accounts quickly without even needing me to get in touch. Although, I tried to reach them in order to understand a few things:

1. Why am I getting so many scams?

2. How do I get started with no reviews?

3. Why can't I post in groups to ask for advice?

Unfortunately, looks like they're busy so meanwhile I'm waiting for them to get back to me, is someone able to help me here? I really want to work as a freelancer rather then in one only business to have time for my film career. So please, if you have any advices to spare for a friend, do so by leaving a comment! Thank you for your time 🫶
