Stop communicating with them and flag them as inappropriate. You are violating Upwork's Terms of Service by communicating with them before a contract is in place.

A real client will never ask you to pay fees of any kind..

Thank you Sophie A, I understand your concern. I already flag them as inapproriate, but it is very defficult to find the right job fighting with scammers. How is UPWORK  thinking to protect us from this?

So far, the best person to protect you from this is you.

Great post to read about scams if you did not read it already.

Thank you so much for your help. The bad thing about those scammers is, they consume the connects which is not refundeble. am I right?

If a job post is removed by Upwork because it violates Terms of Service, Connects are refunded.
