Hi Christian. It's unfortunate that you had to go through that. 

Forget about getting paid, because you won't. But, use this as a learning experience so you'll know better next time somebody ask you to work for free or on a promise of a good payment. You should always have a funded contract with them, and preferably an hourly job, where you will be protected by Upwork if you use the desktop app to log the hours. 

 And remember to always keep communications inside Upwork, at least until you have an active contract. Even then, I would keep communications inside as much as posible.

Christian: You used Upwork incorrectly.

The good news:
It is your fault that you didn't get paid for this work.

This is GOOD because it means that YOU can choose to do things differently next time. So YOU can choose to not get scammed like this in the future.

Thank You so much for the feedback. New things to learn, new experience and need to be more careful before work together.
