It is.

When they start asking you for your personal information, than you block them and flag the job post.

Until than, you can discuss a potential job via any means.

Make sure to use common sense.
When you agree to the terms of a job, make sure to have the contract created (and funded if it's fixed price) on UpWork.

Hi Debra,

Thanks for flagging this. I've checked and action has been taken on the client account due to violation of Upwork TOS. 

Please, check this help article for more information on how to use the flag option found on each job post or message to report any suspicious or inappropriate content. Also, check out this post for more tips on how to avoid questionable jobs.

Thank you!
