I received a weird response from Upwork regarding a job that concerned me, because this company recently reached out to me. Are they a scam? Here's your email content which alerted me today:

Yeah... the client was a scammer. So Upwork took the job down.

You don't need to do anything else.

Hi Rachel, 

I can confirm that the job has violated the Upwork Terms of Service which is why the team had to take actions against the job post and the client's account.
