Uh, no - there is nothing normal about that. In order for you to have a client, they should have an existing account in good standing and  job posted for you to apply/be hired for.

Hi JennyAnne,

Did the client ask you to create a new account for them on Upwork? If it was in Messages, you can report the message as well as the original job post as inappropriate. Please, note that there is a secure way for the client to give you permissions to post jobs on their account (please see this article for more information,) but you won't need to share any passwords with them then.

I was first asked to converse with them via google hangouts and was asked
to create an outlook. Thanks for your help. Really appreciate it.
