The job post was removed because it was not following Upwork Terms of Service and most likely a scam.

As a new freelancer, there is a lot you need to learn before jumping right in to sending proposals. First, communicating outside of Upwork is a violation of Upwork’s Terms of Service you agreed to when you signed up. Link below.
