Interview through a gofile.io application

[5adf0e39]

I have received a message in reply to a submitted proposal to use a gofile.io link to an interview.  Has anyone been asked to do something similar or actually use the gofile.io link?  I'm concerned through some Google searches that the website is not safe.  Thanks.

Just tell the client you prefer all communication through upwork, as they will make this mandatory very soon (before hire) and you want to comply already.

Also, this is a scam.

Hi Judy,

Thanks for flagging this for us. I checked your report and action has been taken on the client account due to violations of Upwork's TOS.
