Got some offer from Upwork but not sure that it was from Upwork

[designsmd]

Hello everyone,

Around a week ago I got an email from Suleiman Kakangi (as from Upwork Talent Success) inviting me to stand out as an expert on Upwork. It was said that I should submit an application with my email address and some other details. Not sure regarding this offer because the application form is hosted at Monday.com not at Upwork site.  Also, the email design differs from usual Upwork mailings.

How do you think - is this a trustful offer? Did anyone else get the same invitation? 

Thank you.

I received the same e-mail coming from**Edited for Community Guidelines**. It links to some google form and all the links in the e-mail link are from salesloflinks.com - this seems pretty sketchy, but just want to make sure. Footer is this:

Upwork users are wise to suspect that these off-site random requests are part of scams and schemes. Legitimate Upwork employees should not be using these. It will seem suspicious every time.
