Hi Hania,
I've checked your account and can't find an active contract with a client. Please be aware that any request for free work is not allowed on Upwork, and it is a violation of Upwork's Terms of Service. Also, 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.
Since no contract has been established, you will not be paid for your work with this client.
It's also important to know that sharing contact information before a contract has started is against Upwork's Terms of Service and that all communications before the contract starts must take place on Upwork. We also encourage you to let us know if you find anything suspicious has happened by using the Flag as Inappropriate option throughout the platform. You can learn more about user reporting here.
Additionally, you may want to check this help article and this thread for more information on how to stay safe on Upwork.
Hi Hania,
We’ve escalated your community post to a support ticket. One of our agents will be in touch with you soon to assist.
