should I work on the project if the milestone is inactive?

One client sent me a new milestone. I have worked on his project before, a small one around 20USD. This time he sent me a big project, around 1,000USD. But he said when he set up the milestone, he got one error message, and the milestone is inactive(not funded). He said he will contact upwork support team to help. My question is: should I start to work on it, or should I wait after he activates the milestone? Here are some facts:
1, the deadline is quite tight only 4-5 days.
2, I am doing translation service, I need to do on one website, whatever I did, it will immediately belongs to him.
3, I checked his record, rating is 4.7
Any suggestion on it? thanks.

Milestone not funded?
Then don't do any work.

 

I don't trust this situation AT ALL.

 

 

$1000 fixed price milestone with a client who is having trouble funding a milestone?
I think you will do a ton of work and get paid nothing.

 

Do $50 worth of work and get paid first.
