Suspicious message from possible employer

Hello, I received this weird message from a potential contract. When I went back to to the message in the Upwork app, it looks like it was deleted. Here’s a screenshot of the email I received. The bottom image is on top for some reason. Is this normal?

Of of the many scams here on UW. Read the ToS, flag it, and never communicate outside of UW until a contract has been set up. Thanks for reporting it here, too.

Hi Sarah,

 

It looks like the job and the interview you're referring to have been cancelled and action has been taken against the account in question. As Peter noted, sharing contact information and communicating off Upwork before an official contract has been formed is against Upwork TOS and is something that should be avoided and reported. Check out this post for more information.
