It is not a possible scam. It is a scam and if you do it, Upwork will suspend your account. It is possible for people to copy your profile. It has been done before, but allowing someone else to use your account is completely against Upwork's terms of service, which I suggest you read.

Thanks, its the first time to use Upwork, because my account its on verification status and never used, now I read more about the platform
