Plus membership means nothing, sometimes clients get that for free with a promo. What you should be concerned about is the number of interviews (14) & invitations (61). Combine that with the 20 to 50 proposals and even if it's legit, your chances of being hired are slim. The chances are higher it's a scam or a phishing website.

Hi Mara Luisa,

 

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 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.

 

Thank you.
