Attention Upwork Community!
We're experiencing an increase in spam messages recently, and we want to ensure you stay safe and informed. To tackle this, we’ll be temporarily blocking certain keywords and combinations of numbers and taking some other temporary steps to prevent confusion and protect you from these pesky intrusions.
Here are a few important reminders to keep you secure:
Phone Numbers and Email Addresses: Posting contact information, be it your own, another person’s, or company's for any purpose is against our Communiy Guidelines. Be cautious of any unsolicited contact information posted in topics.
Stay Vigilant: If you see any external links shared, double-check them on the company's official website before trusting it.
Your safety is our top priority, and we're here to help you navigate through these challenges. If you have any concerns or spot something suspicious, don’t hesitate to reach out to our moderation team. Thank you for your understanding and cooperation.
Let's keep our community safe and thriving!

Stan thanks for this. I too have experienced not only spam direct messages with links but also invitations to interview with either malware in an attachment or a link which is unsafe. I'm not sure what else to do aside from reporting the spam or malicious direct messages.
