Account Ownership Verification Required

[#1]

Hi,

I received an email 3 days ago that my Upwork account was temporarily placed on hold. I already sent the required photos and the site said, someone will get back to me within 24 hours. But, it has been 2 days since then and I haven't receive any response and update.

I have an open ticket for this issue but no one responded yet since 2 days ago.

I am worried what happened and I really need reassurance that this issue will be solved as soon as possible because I also have bills to pay.

If someone will walk me through to solve this issue, I would be grateful.

Sincerely,
Cecille E.

Hi Alex, my name is Laura, I had to create this account for my boyfriend (obviously with legitimate data) to be able to send this message. I need help, your system has detected inconsistencies on my account and has placed a temporary hold until you are able to verify that I am the owner. My email address for the account with which I have the problem is **Edited for Community Guidelines**, I thank you in advance for your help, I have already sent the photos you requested. I have work in progress and this delay affects my earnings and my reputation.

Hello Manpreet,

The Upwork Team assisted me to retrieve my account and it has been successful.

I think, the Upwork system detected an unusual activity on my account and they immediately secured it.
