They target new freelancers who's profiles indicate that they might not be very well aware how everything works, for example that telling someone they are hired does not equal being hired on upwork. If you know the ToS, you are scammer-proof.

This is not the type of contract that confirms you are hired. To confirm you have been hired, the client needs to send you an offer (hourly or fixed price). Once you accept, you will see your contract here in your profile My Jobs (upwork.com)
Do not start working until you see an active contract in your profile.

report these profiles to Upwork and always apply on verified payment method clients check client reviews and countries.

Yes, typical scammer procedure. Maybe they didn't even have something prepared, so at least you wasted their time, too.
You don't ask for a contract, BTW. Contracts is something that scammers typically use, but are very rare on upwork. A client sends an offer, a freelancer accepts, and that constitutes a legally binding contract. Nothing is done or necessary outside of that, nothing is signed or sent back and forth.
