This is a scam. You should NEVER pay a client (ID fee, security fee, insurance fee) directly or buy anything on their behalf (like PUBG, crypto, bitcoin, etc...). This is also a Violation of Upwork's Terms of Service you agree to when you sign up.

Remember you are here to work, not to pay clients.

Flag the job as inapropriate to notify Upwork. Report Suspicious User Activity – Upwork Customer Service & Support | Upwork Help

Here is also an interesting post to get familiar with most common scams.
