Does someone has heard about **Edited for Community Guidelines**, I received a proposal of someone who claims to work for Upwork and it's asking for interviews via Skype and other data.

The profile seems legit and with a lot of history but I'm not sure about it...

Hi Erick, 

I reviewed this carefully and can see that you have been invited to send a proposal for an Enterprise Client. If you check the job post, you will see the Upwork Enterprise Client logo on the right-hand side of the job post. 

As noted in this announcement post, clients who utilize Upwork Business and Enterprise solutions are permitted to request and share contact information, as well as to conduct interviews or pre-contract communications, outside of Upwork. This exception extends to professionals’ communications with an Upwork Business or Enterprise client.

I can confirm that sharing contact information, and communicating outside of Upwork even before the contract has started is permitted in this case since the client is an Enterprise Client. I hope this helps!
