I confirm, it is a scam. Report scammer and move forward. Your contract will be canceled by Upwork after scammer banned, dont worry about that.

Risky contract to accept, in my view. It does not smell well when too complex and requiring your funds and your data.

Stolen CC used. It isnt a real money. Will be refunded after CC owner will report fraud.

She sent the money, from a stolen card, no doubt, to further invest you in the scam, and to make you think they are legitimate. They are not, and this is an old and common scam.
