 Is this legit?

There is NO situation in which you should pay any fee of any kind to any new client. If you need to make a payment to a client after a contract is in place or even after a contract is closed, there is NO situation in which that payment should be made by you or the client through any channel other than Upwork's payment system.

There are NO exceptions to the above. Any client who tells you otherwise is very likely hoping to rip you off at some point.

No. It is not a client.

No, it is not legit. They are a scammer.

 

There is never a fee of any kind that should be paid to clients.

Can they be reported?

Yes. If the job is still available, choose the flag button on the job posting to submit a report.
