Dear Friends,
Couple of days back, I have submitted a proposal against a job. In reply he said you are selected and bla bla bla. Please contact at whatsapp **Edited for Community Guidelines**
A very long ago I read Upwork Guideline their were clearly mentioned upwork only support work at upwork incase client or freelancer ask for other mean of contact that mean he or she is trying to cheat you.
I messaged him and asked "yes" in reply he sent a very long paragraph message. I simply said no.
For reference message pasted below.

It might be the rare case where an inexperienced client does not know that, but yes, in most cases it will be scammers. You need to flag the job posting.

I have seen no reports of legitimate clients asking freelancers to interview via WhatsApp.
I believe only scammers do that.

True, i have been a member for long, had no reply in any job proposals until today and I was to reply via email. Thanks to the information i had read earlier, i was able to withdraw that particular proposal immediately.

It does not really matter if you withdraw your proposal, the important thing is flagging the job posting.

It has happened to me and it was because the client was new and had no idea of the rules.
I just informed him of the TOS and he had no problem continuing to communicate on Upwork.
If client insist on communicating outside Upwork after you inform the client about the rules, just flag the work explaining the reasons for do it.
