First

Hey everyone..!

This is my first project in Upwork... This person send me an email with instructions and asked me to download an app to record myself speaking English to answer very simple questions...  My work in this project consist in just to answer seemingly, simple questions...

 

I just noticed the options to send documents or Links through the upwork chat...


my question is, should him have done this through upwork, entirely..?

Yes, this is a scam. Report them and block them. Buy why didn't you know you weren't supposed to communicate with clients off of Upwork until after you have a contract with them?

You don't have any projects on Upwork, so you must have set it up off platform. That's a TOS violation. You can't communicate with clients outside of the platform until a contract is in place. This person is trying to scam you. You can avoid scams by staying on Upwork.
