Okay...
You're right that this is fraudulent behavior on the part of that would-be client.
You are clearly wise enough to know not to do that.
As the person you are dealing with is not even an Upwork user, I think what you have is something interesting. But I don't think Upwork could do anything about this. Upwork has no way to ban or penalize somebody who is not even a user of their site.

If you work in Fiverr, you are bound to get 'clients' like that.

Thank you for sharing this here, George.
If you have more information about this client, may I request that you please send it to me through a private message so that I can look into this further.
