There is absolutely no information online about the effects pack they demand you have, other than the store selling it for 30€. Other than the shop, it only shows up here, on twitter, and on upwork (with a similar brief). 

This is a fake job offer, to scam people into buying the (probably fake / broken) plug-in pack. There's absolutely no way some client is, by coincidence, requiring a plug-in that exists nowhere other than the store, and that nobody ever heard about - this "client" is the "plug-in" maker, trying to scam people into buying it, guaranteed. That's the only explanation for them requiring an extremely obscure paid software. Note the enticing budget as well, designed to get people interested. 

Do NOT ever buy software / plug-ins /anything because a client asks you to - unless it's actually industry standard, well known software (like, if a client says they need photoshop or after effects and you must own them, that would be legit for a lot of workflows). 

Very easy and lucrative business model - create a storefront selling some fake plug-in for cheap, post it as a requirement on freelance job boards on multiple sites, and watch the money roll in, from freelancers buying the "plug-in" to have a shot at a contract. 

Beware of brief scams!
