Hello! 
I got a copywriting job and i asked to get paid through paypal. The client said to me ok But Then asked me to make a enroll account in silva credit bank and transfer my money there But Now i cant transfer my money and They asked me VAT code and Ask me to pay for it. Such account should be stopped. I wasted my 30 hours without Any result.

Hi Jamila,

I do not see any completed or ongoing jobs in your profile, which suggests you never started a contract with this client. I want to clarify that accepting payments outside the platform is considered Circumvention; this is not allowed and is a serious violation of the Terms of Service.

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.
