Hi Shruthi,
I'm sorry to hear about your experience. I've checked and the job you're referring to has been taken down because it was in violation of Upwork TOS and action has been taken on the client account.
Please, check this help article for more information on how to use the flag option found on each job post or message to report any suspicious or inappropriate content. Also, check out this post for more tips on how to avoid questionable jobs.
Please, be careful not to share any private or sensitive information with clients on Upwork. All the information needed to hire and pay you via Upwork is available on your profile. We'd also like to use this opportunity to remind that offering and accepting payments off Upwork is a violation of Upwork ToS. Upwork requires all payments to go through our platform and offers Upwork Payment Protection for both hourly and fixed-price contracts.
Thank you!

Good catch. Be sure to use the "flag as inappropriate" link on the original job post so that Upwork can take down the job and refund connects.
