Hello, I got a contract yesterday and some minutes after the contract started, I got a message from Upwork that the contract is now on hold.
I checked my profile and I see this little popup saying: 'Financial transactions for (XXXX) have been limited. Please check your email for additional information or contact customer support.'
Right now, I can't withdraw funds and I'm not getting any response from customer support about this issue. Please may I know why my financial account was limited if the fault is from the client and not me??

Chances are that Upwork are seeing a possible connection between the client and your own account. Can you think of any reason why and how that could be the case?

On Saturday, I got a contract from a client and some minutes later, I got a message that the contract is on hold. About 10 minutes later, I got this error message on my account: "Financial transactions for XXX have been limited. Please, check your email or contact support".
I've contacted the trust and safety team since Saturday but up till now, I have not received any response. I tried contacting CS through Live Chat but they keep asking me to refer to the previous mail which doesn't help as it just looks like a copy and paste message
I have other contracts and funds in my account without the ability to withdraw that money. And I believe you guys know that we all do this for a living and actually need that money to survive, you know and I have no idea how long this investigation thingy will take. Has anyone seen this problem solved before? How long can it take?
P.S. I've seen quite an amount of negative feedback towards Upwork but never got it why people don't like the system. However, now I'm starting to understand the situation.
Please I need help.
Thanks
