Regarding flitterbank.com

[efbce278]

Hi there , recently I get paid for doing job here in Upwork via flitterbank.com, then they ask me to register flitterbank.com, but I have to pay for the virtual card to activate withdrawal, anyone know about flitterbank.com? Help me.

The virtual card is one time purchase which is $250

This is a scam.

Getting paid/paying money outside Upwork is a violation of Upwork's Terms of Service.

Providing contact details on your profile is also a violation of Upwork's Terms of Service.

Please take a look at the Academy Courses - Upwork Community before sending proposals/accepting work as you are not ready to do it safely.

Hi Lerra. As all have said this is a scam. Take a look at your profile and you will see the job is not listed. Ligit jobs will be listed there. Even flitterbank looks and reads like a scam. They list their physical address as "Boulevard, New York, USA"

Lerra,

Never, Never, Never go off Upwork for payment. You will be paid via a client that has funds in Upwork's escrow for your job. It's also against Upwork's Terms of Service and can get your Profile banned. Please click the Academy at the top of this page for how to use the site. Have a great day!
