If it was removed from the site, then it was a scam, not a real job. Be very careful about who you talk to and don't give your bank account information or personal details to anyone. Also, all projects must be contracted and paid through Upwork, no matter what a client might tell you.

Hi Daniel,
Christine is correct. It's very likely that the job post was removed because of a violation of the Upwork Terms of Service. I highly recommend that you read up on the "Safety First!" section of the freelancer resources we have compiled, and these tips for avoiding questionable jobs for more information about working safely through Upwork.
