Freelance Translate Job

[e7e297d9]

I recently got my first freelance translator job. However, the process did not seem reliable to me. I'm telling you;

First, one of the jobs I applied for reached me on Upwork, sent me an e-mail address and said that they wanted me to reach them here.
I also sent an e-mail. A telegram account address was given in response and they said I should contact them from there. I did what they said. I actually talked to someone and agreed. However, they stated that the payment would be made 4 days after the work was completed and no offer contract was sent to me via Upwork.

Do you think this is reliable or should I cancel this job?

This is a scam. Clients and freelancers are not allowed to communicate outside of Upwork before a contract is made. This is a  violation of Upwork's Terms of Service.

Flag the job as inappropriate and stop all communications with the client.

As Clark mentioned, you to let us know if a TOS violation has happened by using the Flag as Inappropriate option throughout the platform. You can learn more about user reporting here.
