When I posted looking for my first contracts freelancer, the designing of a new website on a new domain; I recieved an email from **Edited for Community Guidelines **at my new email address associated with my domain.  He was trying to bid for the contract outside of upwork.

I've searched upwork up and down but cannot find his account to flag it.  I also recieved 2 other users requesting to do the work the same way but I found them and was able to flag the account.

Those were **Edited for Community Guidelines**

I'm posting this to make users aware that, if contacted in this fashion, it is

definitely against the terms of service of upwork.com

It's possible that person doesn't have an Upwork account, whic his why you could not find him on Upwork. In future, don't include your domain name or any other identifying details on your job post.
