Hi Najith,

Thank you for bringing this to our attention. I'm sorry to learn about your recent experience. I checked the job you were referring to and can confirm that it has been taken down for violating the Terms of Service, and action has been taken on the client's account. 

As a gentle reminder, communicating outside of Upwork before a contract starts is a violation of the Terms of Service, and a client that suggests this is a typical red flag for possible scams. You may open yourself up to scams or fraud and lose Upwork Payment Protection. A real client will never ask you to give them money to start working, cash a check for them, work for free, or provide your personal information. Whenever you encounter these situations, please report them using the available flagging options so the team can investigate further. Please take some time to read through this article for more information on how you can stay safe on Upwork.

Thank you for taking a prompt action in this regard.

Najith.
