Fake or Real

[#1]

Hi , I recently got into one of the project and they are communicating to me through another social platform. The work is done and when asking about the payment , they are asking for my photograph, number, age, etc. 

I just want to understand if this is real or fake !

You may communicate them on other platform once the contract is signed, If not do not work unless there's a contract!

If you do not have an active contract here My jobs (upwork.com)

it is fake. Payment has to be through Upwork and no real client will ask you for your ID details.

Make sure to look at the Academy ressources at the top of this page to learn how things work and to avoid account suspension for Terms of Service violation.

Definitaly FAKE never send any personal information (like photograph, number, age) via any social media site. You can send an invoice for the payment, thats all you need to do, and it would have been better if the contract was on Upwork that way the payment is secure.

If you meet a client through Upwork, the payment must go through Upwork and Upwork sends the invoice to the client.

If you are new, you need to take the time to learn how things work. This cannot be solved by a simple communication here. You can start with the link here: Explore learning paths - Upwork Community
