Can't respond to client about proposal

[taylorschmitt]

Hi, I applied for a posting today and received an email from the employer about an hour later. I am currently listed as an active candidate for the position. However, when I went to my messages, I couldn't find any messages from my new prospective employer, though I was able to read what they had said originally because of my email, and when I clicked on the proposal, I received the following message: "This job has been removed from Upwork, so we are no longer able to retrieve your proposal."

Any help would be much appreciated!

Hi Taylor,

I see that the job was removed for violation of our Terms of services. We are unable to discuss further details on the action taken on other user's accounts for confidentiality purposes. Please check out this post for more tips on how to avoid questionable jobs and please use the flag option found on each job post or message anytime you’d like to report a violation.

Because it was a scam.

Upwork pulled the ad because it was a scam. There are numerous scams on Upwork, and you must protect yourself. Fortunately, Upwork removed this one, but you can't count on Upwork to keep you safe.
