Hired but the job is removed?

[mariammaisa]

Hello!

The job I applied for was removed from the marketplace because it did not the "Terms of Service," as mentioned in my email. The person who was hiring just sent me a text on my number that I am hired for this job. My question is should I take the job? Or is it unsafe since you have removed it from the marketplace? Or how can I even agree on a job when it is not posted here anymore?
Thank you for the help!!!

If it was taken down, then you definitely shouldn't work on it - it was probably a scam. In any case, you can't accept a job or get paid off of Upwork, or you'll be violating the terms of service yourself and your account could be banned.
