Hi Oroyinka,

 

Yes, I can confirm that the email you received is actually from Upwork and it's an invitation for you to apply. You can check this help article to learn more about the Upwork Skill Certifications. 

 

Thank you,

~ Luiggi
Upwork

The reason that Oroyinka and many other Upwork freelancers have written in the Forum that they doubted these messages were legitimate is because these messages from an Upwork employee are taking them off of the Upwork platform - to Monday.com.

 

I don't blame anybody for thinking this is a scam or phishing attempt, or at the very least, thinking that it is a violation of Upwork ToS.

Exactly. 👍 Preston, are you getting these too?

 

Oroyinka, was it a message from a Talent Specialist?

 

I was about to move one message to the spam folder until I checked it with the forums. This was more than a month ago: https://community.upwork.com/t5/Freelancers/Talent-Specialist-doesn-t-have-enough-Upwork-experience-...

 

In my case, the "Talent Specialist" wanted my CV and a link to LinkedIn profile... which made it look pretty shady.

 

I haven't got any new invitations like this (or I did and it went to my spam folder automatically! 🤣), so I thought Avery O. nailed it already.
