Beyond that, I suggest you use the "Subject" search field to search for "red flags" and "scams" in the Community Forum.

I ask because I’m interviewing now I guess.....and I have recently been asked to work on a project involving Crypto currency investments and transfers using Zelle and ACH programs. I’ve been asked to create an account and I’m assuming these accounts would be attached to my personal banking information like my bank account #, routing number, etc. it just got weird. And honestly, it doesn’t seem right. That’s why I started this thread because, I think I’m 100% sure that it’s a scam. And before I regret anything. I rather walk away free.
That's a scam. Run!

Lauren, when that "little voice" or whatever signals us that something doesn't seem right we need to listen to it. You're to be commended for doing so.
Unfortunately it oftentimes appears that many on Upwork don't listen to it, and they share their after-the-fact horror stories. Generally their negative experiences could have been prevented.
