*Coughs*...

So...what you are saying is...

 

You made contact with a random stranger...gave out personal details....and had no contract? 

 

Oei vay! 

I trust this freelancer 😞 

Its my mistake as a new member. 

re: "Its my mistake as a new member."

 

That is the beginning of wisdom:

 

I undertand that I made a mistake as a client.

Because I did not understand how the system works.

 

The next thing to do is learn from my mistakes and figure out how to do things the right way.

 

For what it's worth:

Most of the mistakes that new clients make on Upwork are not actually related to Upwork.

They are "client" mistakes, not Upwork mistakes, and they would be mistakes on any freelance platform, or in any client/freelancer arrangement.

How this profile is live ?

First time its are suspended but now LIVE HER PROFILE.
I am really shocked by this behavior from Upwork .

Is it safe Upwork at all?

It's very interdasting that you are a brand new client but knew about the duplicate profile rule for freelancers. Talking about how you love Upwork is a nice touch. 

All kidding aside:

Instagram - like other social media platforms - has established methods for allowing freelancers/employees/etc. to properly (and safely) use your account.

 

The original poster made a number of mistakes, among them was that he let a stranger take over his Instagram account completely (?!) instead of properly setting the freelancer up as a delegate.
