First job question

[a6900432]

My first response to a submitted proposal says I need to click a link to move forward. Should I be cautious? Shouldn't all the initial communication be through messages on the upwork site?

Depends on the link, but here's an important read: https://community.upwork.com/t5/Community-Blog/Top-Red-Flags-for-Scams-From-Community-Member-Wes-C/b...

Hi Karen, 

I went ahead and checked on the interview you're referring to and it looks like the job has already been taken down. You won't be able to communicate with this client on Upwork anymore and I'd discourage you from accessing any links they'd sent you.
