Email sharing before contract starting

[bhuttaamna]

Hi everyone. Hope you all doing great. Actually there is a client. He wants my email. The contract is not started yet. What should I do, should I send him my email? Will be against Upwork policy? Though the client is big. Kindly help me in this matter.

Hi Amna,

Thank you for your message. Sharing or requesting direct contact information before you are hired through the Upwork contract is considered a TOS violation and may lead to sanction on your account. 

I checked the job post you were referring to and it appears that it's already been taken down because it was in violation of Upwork TOS. Please check out this course for more tips on staying safe on Upwork and please use the flag option found on each job post or message anytime you’d like to report a violation.

Thank you,

Pradeep
