Asked to Apply off of Upwork

I recently received a response from a client for a project I applied for, except the reply asked me to go outside of Upwork and go through another entire application process, including a video. 
The video part I get as I've been asked that before, but to take the entire application off of Upwork didn't feel right. 

Anyone else had this happen? Am I worrying about it too much or should I flag it?

You may participate in the application process, including the creation of a video, if you are first hired using an hourly contract.

 

Otherwise, that is not allowed.

 

If the client doesn't hire your, but asks you to apply outside of Upwork without being hired, then please report the client. Click on the "Flag as inappropriate" link button in the top right hand corner of the job posting screen.
