Oh. Basically this is the scam they use at Offerzen.

When I saw wsj.com I figured this would be an "article" that's mostly manipulative, fear-mongering and doom and gloom.

If you're paying to maybe get hired, you're not the client - you're basically being sold to yourself.

It's a strange kind of concept creep that "scam" came to mean "bad deal", or "suboptimal deal", or "worse deal" to some users, instead of deception. Not clear what is fraudulent about the listed practice, just sucky.
