New to upwork

Halo everyone 

I'm Klotilda and this is my first time using upwork.

I'm here to ask you guys why would the client ask for my ID when I'm apply the freelance job?. Cause I think this is my privacy so I'm not give'em yet.

Hi Klotilda,

 

A real client will never ask you to give them money to start working, cash a check for them, work for free, or provide your personal information. Whenever you encounter these situations, please flag them as inappropriate so the team can investigate them further. Please take some time to read through this article for more information on how you can stay safe on Upwork, and visit this blog post from our Community member Wes for common red flags for scams.
