Client is asking for CV and my educational Certificate.

A client is asking for my educational certificates and CV. Is it safe or not?

He is new to upwork, he has no history.

Once he asked me about to attempt exam, I refused him. after it he say ok, kindly share your CV and educational certificate. What to do?

What do you mean "to attempt exam"? To take an exam for them? That would be academic fraud and forbidden on Upwork.

I personally wouldn't be speaking with that client anymore, and certainly not be sending any certificates. The client's next job post will likely be "Photoshop expert needed"

Yes, he asked to take the exam for them, I reused him by saying that its a fraud. after it, he just demands my certificates. the title of the job is expert academic writer. Now what to do,

Report him for attempted academic fraud (use the "flag as inappropriate link" at the top-right corner of the job post), then block him so that he can't send you any further messages.

I am glad you learned that lesson last time.

You just say "No", withdraw your proposal and block them, of course, and simply flag it as inappropriate.
