Anyone know about this site? It was offering 4,000 dollars for a CAD drawings. I check again the posting but it was already deleted.

Yep, it is scam.

When you see telegram, phone, email... report scammer and move forward. Dont waste time. And never try to contact.

It's important to be cautious when a client asks to move communication off of Upwork, as this is a violation of Upwork's terms of service and can put you at risk of fraud or scams. In addition, if the job posting has been deleted, it's possible that the job may not be legitimate or may have already been filled. But it looks like it's a fake client don't contact

Thanks for response. And payment of 4,000 USD for 3 days is really sketchy.

Thanks for response. It's my 1st so i didn't think clearly, I even started the project. How stupid of me. I withdraw the project and the client didn't even fight or get insulted.

You have wasted time. But it is not a problem. You can be banned here. Outside conversation without contract is ToS violation.
