Hi, just started my profile and did everything I should have done, even put in a couple of proposals but it seems as if every client replying to my work says I must contact them either on Telegram or whatsapp!! According to me the Clients are not supposed to do that? How do handle these clients and how do we know it is not scammers? I know I must not contact them via Telegram or whatsapp so what do I do?
