Account suspended

[lucafucci]

Hi,

I couldn't get why my account has been suspended. I checked for the emails but I couldn't find one saying my account has been suspended and the reason why.

I had a video chat with an operator but the problem's still there.
How can I manage it?

I have the same issue. My ID was verified, but then when I completed my profile and clicked submit, I instantly got a notification that my account had been suspended. See attached image of the notification along with the notification that my ID had been verified.

Hi Avery, 

Thanks for your help. That ticket was closed so I am unable to respond. I'm not sure why I have to change my email address as this is the email I use specifically for my contracted work. I very much try to keep my personal email for personal contacts, and prefer not to create a new gmail address as most professional handles that would be applicable to me are all taken given the popularity of the platform. Can you provide some insight as to why my email address is being rejected, as it makes absolutely no sense to me? I would love to oblige UpWork's guidelines, but to be rejected based on a perfectly professional email address seems silly. 

Thank you!

Hi Ashley, 

I understand how changing your email is not the ideal situation for you. I have checked this with the team, but while I'm waiting for more information, I encourage you to reply on the same ticket thread. This will reopen the same ticket and will go to the team's queue. 

Once I get more information from them, I'll update this post.

Hi upwork community, I logged into my account his morning only to find that it has been suspended which I have received no mail informing of this action or the reason for it... I would really appreciate it if the moderators on here could review my account and tell me how I can fix it and why it was suspended so I can avoid it in the future... Thank You

Hello Moderators,

It's been almost 24 hours since I opened a ticket with customer support regarding the sudden suspension of my account and I have yet to receive a reply from them. 

I would really appreciate it if anyone on here could help get the temporary hold on my account released so that I could get back to completing my project currently in progress and also pursue future contracts.

Thank You, 

Adedokun

Sorry - have the same problem. Maybe it would be great to create kind of wizard to troubleshoot such issues? It seems this issue happens quite often.
Thx in advance.

Good afternoon.

23 Nov I successfully verified my identity and receive Congratulations email from Upwork.
But 24 Nov my account was suspended.
I received an email from the Help center, answered it and ask for unsuspend. A day passed.

No response followed. I send two requests about my problem, but still no response.

Can anybody help me?

Thank you very much!

[electrinics_dev]

Great!

Maris from the Help team helps me.

Thanks.

[alin_av]

Hello! Please, could you help me with a suspended account? I have already sent all necessary statements and ID confirmation to Upwork, just need to clarify the status of this request.  I didn`t get email  that my account is suspended  but it is

Good afternoon.

I have a problem - I am trying to unsuspend my acc since 24 Nov. I created several requests because the average time of the help team answer is about 24 hours. They were merged to one (https://support.upwork.com/hc/en-us/requests/27182232). There I explain, that I already uploaded my passport photos, address, utility bill. Also, I verified my acc by speaking with your colleague via webcam. My last message was a day ago, but I still have no answer.

Is there a way to speed up unsuspending my account?

Thanks in advance!

Hi, another suspended account here without any reason as to why. I submitted my application last Wednesday and resubmitted Saturday. 

And If you won't take my account out of suspension, please close it. I would do that myself if I could.

Please advise, thank you.
