Unresponsive and sneaky client

I applied for a proposal for a ghost writing job for a contemporary romance and I'm still somehow new to this because I have only gotten one job. So apparently this client tells me to message on telegram for more details and I had already bid for this work earlier that has cost me my connects. I message and the work seems to be entirely different and I keep saying to reply me on upwork as it is the site initiating the contract and I have not gotten any response. Please how do I report this because I don't know what to do? The client is unresponsive and does not want to do it the right way.

Before placing any order on Upwork, if a client wants to contact on another platform, IT IS A SCAM

I had a client send me a message to contact them on telegram for the details. I reported the message and the account was eventually removed. I think I was also refunded the connects.

Use the instructions in the article below to report the upwork message.
