I am software engineer in India with 10+ years experience. I never deal any client directly. I quit my job and now trying for a startup, for this I made a small IT tech team. I approach many peoples through LinkedIn finally one Australian client give me response take my technical test and interview and he seems interested. He share a brief for a project for 10K USD for this he ask me to give him 1500 USD as security amount, and I need to sign an agreement as well. Do I need to give him money? or what is the right way to make dealing securely.?

    That's way outside the scope of a The Workplace question, but they sure as anything don't ask you to pay them money. That's the wrong way round.

    @AmitShakya A genuine client may be willing to give you a down payment on the contract. Never will they ask you to pay.
