Unfair? You broke rules and was scammed. Take time to read ToS or you will be scammed again or banned.

In addition to what Mykola wrote: 

 

1 ) "copy & paste" = SCAM. Come on, copying and pasting stuff cannot be a job.

2) Read this urgently: https://community.upwork.com/t5/Community-Blog/Top-Red-Flags-for-Scams-From-Community-Member-Wes-C/b...

I see I'm not the only one. I'm new to Upwork, and looking for a chance for personal growth. They contacted me to do a translation, they sent me by telegram to work for 6 days on 60 pages, I sent the work and they asked me to pay 85 dollars so that they could enable the payment. They did not pay me. If you look for a job here it is to grow, I felt so angry, but partly as they say, you should not leave Upwork and stay on the platform. You can see there is everything. I hope it helps someone if, like me, they accept a job in good faith and see that name.

Two BIG red flags here:

 

1) Taking the conversation outside of Upwork (Telegram = scam);

2) The "client" contacted you for a translation job. You are not a translator. NEVER accept offers totally unrelated to your profile.

In my profile I have translations as a skill because I do them. But definitely a beginner's mistake

You do not have translation skills in your profile. Read carefully the link above, or you will be scammed again.

no its not unfair, you are just not ready to be a freelancer. and before you get mad at me let me tell you why. 
Your profile says "Am Expert writter" which you are clearly not. then in description its all about web development and you have skills of data entry + AutoCAD. it all sums up to that you have no idea why you are on this platform at all, or in other words you are just a sitting duck for scammers to target.
