Not sure if this is in fact fake but .... the client wants you to download an app to your own phone - then apply to a ton of different credit card offers. The app will give you "points" for each offer. You need to obtain $10 dollars worth of "points" - then you send you earnings to the client's personal paypal account. The client states he would give me $5 dollars and then he would keep the other $5 dollars. If he hires 50 + freelancers he stands to make money off of Upwork.

I don't download any apps to my phone ever.

This was really weird. The client does have other completed projects and has a 5 star review. So I don't know what to make of it ???
