New to Upwork

Hi, I just sent my first proposal and I have received a message from the client to contact her/him through telegram. What should i do to be safe. I am here to look for a job but avoiding scam as well.

Hi Karen,

 

I checked the job post you were referring to and it appears that it's already been taken down because it was in violation of Upwork TOS.


Please check out this course for more tips on staying safe on Upwork and please use the flag option found on each job post or message anytime you’d like to report a violation.

 

Thank you,

Pradeep

Always connect and chat via Upwork chat. Most probably this client is a scammer, avoid it and report to Upwork. 

A genuine client shall never ask u to contact any 3rd party platform.
