Employer with "Payment Method Not Verified". Is it possible to work with these?

Question

Upwork

I ran into an employer with a good rating, but without a verified payment method. Is it worth it to deal with them?

Answer 1

Quite. After you have received and confirmed the job offer, ask the client to go through the payment method'a check to insure against possible problems with payment. This is done quickly.

Answer 2

At your own risk, they can check it and if something is wrong, the money will simply be taken back from you even if you worked through the time tracker without manual input. Was a disgusting experience. Upwork politics.
