Telegram or Apps Interviews

I got many messages from clients asking me to set up interview using Telegram or in Apps. Are those out of Upwork job that should be forbidden or they are legal and we can apply? Thanks.

ACCEPTED SOLUTION

Not allowed.

 

Those are scammers trying to steal your money.

Thanks so much!

Hi Yousheng, 


Communicating outside of Upwork before a contract has started is not allowed. Clients and freelancers can communicate via Upwork's video and voice call feature

I highly recommend that you read up on the "Safety First!" section of the freelancer resources we have compiled and these tips for avoiding questionable jobs for more information about working safely through Upwork.

It would also be best to visit these articles for more information on how you can keep in line with Upwork's Terms of Service when engaging on the website:

It's too bad you get "many" of these. All you can do is to flag them and wade through them all. Let's hope Upwork figures out a way for us all to be less exposed to them.

Good suggest. Thanks Peter.
