You violated Upwork's TOS when you agreed to communicate and work off the platform without having a contract in place. That rule is in place for various reasons -- including protecting freelancers from scams. You were scammed. You will not receive any money from the "client" and Upwork can't help you since you violated the terms and conditions. Stay on the platform until a contract is in place. This will protect you from scams. Also, it will protect your account since it can be suspended or banned for such a serious rule violation.

Hi Pravajja,

 

Thank you for reaching out to us. I checked the job post you were referring to and it seems that it's already been taken down because it was in violation of Upwork ToS and action has been taken on the client account. Please note that Upwork does not encourage freelancers to pay any security or registration fees to the client as this may lead to possible fraud. Also, communication outside Upwork is against our Terms of Service as well so I highly suggest that you don't entertain such requests.

 

Please check out this post for more tips on how to avoid questionable jobs and please use the flag option found on each job post or message anytime you’d like to report a violation.
