Connect on Telegram

I am new to upwork, I sent three proposals and in the case of two, they asked me to connect on Telegram, offered me the job and asked me put in a security deposit. I did not. Is this the practice for typing work?

Those are scammers.

They are trying to steal your money.

Not real jobs.

 

Real clients never ask freelancers for money.

 

It is against Upwork rules to communicate with them via Telegram. A freelancer who does that could be suspended.
