Ok, then the client ask me to buy something for him. And he is paying me 200$ for hrs, u set up the timer, but my hourly is 15 per hr, so i think i m not protected! Right!

If your hourly rate is $15/hour, why would do you think a client would pay you $200/hour? What's so special about what you were doing for this client, that your time would be worth this much money?

Yes 😔😔😔😔

i didn't know that this is illegal, and something against upwork policies, hope they won't banned my account.

Regarding bonuses: When you buy crypto, PUBG UC, etc., "pending" means "gone with the wind".

Hello everyone,

I have worked with a client, and he was very satisfied with the job. He paid me for Upwork, but after a few weeks, I got a mail from Upwork support saying that a payment made to your account has been reversed by your client’s bank. I don't know why this client does this. also, how can I be protected from this kind of bad action?

Best regards
