No.

No typing jobs.

You are talking to scammers who are trying to steal your money.

 

You need to read more about Upwork rules.

Hi Lance,

 

Thank you for your message. I am sorry to hear about your experience with a client. I checked the job post you were referring to and it appears that it's already been taken down because it was in violation of Upwork TOS.


Please check out this course for more tips on staying safe on Upwork and please use the flag option found on each job post or message anytime you’d like to report a violation.

 

Thank you,

Pradeep
