Client asking me to fill google doc form.

My proposal was approved and got a link to fill this form. is this kind of scam? I don't know why they wants this kind of information? What shall I do?

Payment method is verified but didn't hire single freelancer from Upwork.

I'm quite certain it's a scam. They will need to gain access to your computer though, maybe by tricking you to run some React app (or any executables). Have they told you to open/download something?

Edit: I forgot to tell that doing payments outside Upwork is a bannable offense so just flag them and move on.
