Scam?

I am new here. I applied for a job today and got the job the same day. The client sent me a Telegram username and asked me to contact her with a Telegram account. She explained the job and asked for a payment method that is available here in my country. Is my client a legit one? I needed the job, but I have doubts. Thank you.

Hi Marilet,

 

Thank you for reaching out to us. Please note that sharing contact info prior to a contract starting is against ToS and one of the most common scams is when the client wants to take your conversation to Telegram.

 

We highly suggest reviewing our ToS, reading these tips on how to avoid questionable jobs, and this post from our Community member, Wes, about top red flags for scams for you to keep yourself safe in the marketplace. Should you also encounter any suspicious user activity again in the future, please send us a flag so the dedicated team can review it and take action as soon as possible.
