Help with another user's account

Hello all,

 

I am here on the behalf of another freelancer who wants to reopen his closed account but has no means to contact you. 

 

Could you please assist?

 

Ps: This is an urgent matter so please do not ask me to send you a private message if you will not check it.  Thank you

Hi all,

 

I understand your friend or colleague would like to contact support and resolve the issue with their Upwork account. They should be able to reach out to our support team via the chatbot without having to log in.
 
 

How do I reach a human in customer support?

 

 

  1. Please visit Contact Support and click the 'Chat with Upwork' button.
  2. Type a question or topic and select 'Send'. The bot will find relevant Help articles for you.
  3. The chatbot will ask you to confirm if you need additional help. If you confirm that you need additional help, you will be asked to confirm the account type you need help with.
  4. From there, the support options available to you will be listed. Select either of the options to be able to contact the Upwork Support Team.
Update:

Hello! I am writing on behalf of my friend, who has registered for Upwork since 2019.

 

In 2022, on April 19, updated information about himself left his account. He wanted to go yesterday from the PC and the phone, but he first writes that This email address uses Google Sign-In. and when he wants to connect via Google authorization, he writes: That Google Account is not recognized on Upwork. It turns out that you can not authenticate via email and password, and simply through Google-account it is impossible to do this because of the above reasons.

Hi Dr Mishal,

 

Thank you for your message. I am sorry to learn about your friend's account. I see that the account holder is already communicating with the relevant team. We are unable to discuss further details with you on the other user's account. Please request the account holder to continue communicating with the team.

 

Thank you,

Thank you for writing but if you please have a look at her profile she is communicating but it's more of a one-sided communication and there is no response from the upwork team. she is actually having trouble connecting with any member from upwork that can help her resolve things. My sole purpose of writing on her behalf is to request the moderators to help her communicate effectively with the team so that her matter can be resolved and she can resume her work. Any help will be highly appreciated.
Thanks

Hi,

I've a friend who's account recently got suspended by upwork. He's been scammed with one of his new clients and he didn't understand which part of all these got his account suspended. He did one mistake is that talked with that clients via whatsapp and google meet. Though he shared all the chat and conversations he had with that client to upwork expalining that he is not invloved in any of this part. The client was a scammer and his account also got suspended by upwork. 

 

What the client needed for his job, he described on google meet and a little in whatsapp chat. But soon my friend started working on his project, upwork suspended his account. He is also unable to post on community right now.

 

I know my friend pretty well as we've been together for over 12 years and he's an honest and nice guy. He's been working so hard to build his carrer at upwork. He had over 600+ working hours and around $12000 earning with over 40 jobs on upwork. Meantime he also got some very good clients.

 

I'm talking on behalf of my friend if there's any help he could get! This upwork was his only earning source and he needs to support his family i.e., his family depends on his earning. On his account he had around $4600, which he lost also as upwork refunded those money to his clients.

 

Please I'm requesting someone to help and reconsider his case and forgive him for any of his mistake he did unknowingly.

Hi Arjay,

Thanks for your response. He did try on upwork facebook, but there upwork told him that his account suspension is final and they can't say any details. Later, he couldn't reply on upwork's message. Shall I tell him to try on Insta or Twitter again?

 

He has been scammed by one of his client, and he's trying to proof that he is a legitimate freelancer. I feel truly sorry for him. If he could get some help and forgiveness for whatever mistake he did, he could support his family again.

Hello guys,

 

One of my clients from Australia told me that he is unable to log in to his Upwork account. Because he is unable to log in he could not reach out to the support team. I'm reaching out to you on behalf of him.

 

Concern person who can help us, please reach out to me so I can share his Upwork's associated email ID with you. Actually, he told me it looks like someone has hacked his account and changed the email ID. He is unsure about it, he assumes this because he is no more receiving emails from Upwork.

 

He cancelled the credit card but still Upwork charges him. He called the bank today to check on it. He told Upwork charged against the two-card number, that he don't know if he had in the account.

 

Please consider this as a serious issue and help us to resolve this.

 

Thank you,

Thanks, I'll ask him to get in touch.

 

Just checking, is this the only option? Any better way to reach out to get support directly may be by email or phone call?

Hello all, 

 

Need help asap. Today one of my colleagues was creating his freelance profile on Upwork but by mistake, he signed up as a Client. After realising the mistake he thought to close the account and create the freelancer profile again as he already planned.

 

The problem now is that when he is signing up for freelance and adding his email address, Upwork is showing that the email already exists, log in.

 

When we are trying to login in, it is showing the email address is invalid. 

 

Kindly help what we can do to contact Upwork and make our profile easily.

This is the problem of my wife's account, she has sent many emails but no response, her community posting system is also Disable, so she said to post my problem in the community so that some solution can be found.
From her
Support Team is irresponsible My order was completed on June 20 2022. After that my account was Suspended and I was not given any reason. I emailed several times but I did not get any reply from upwork . My order was also completed but 25 days have passed yet. they did not release my paymend. I emailed many times but I did not get any reply from upwork۔ I am very saddened to see this behavior. The saddest thing is that my account has been suspended without any reason. If I have made a mistake, let me know that I have made a mistake. I am a human being.Also many times tickets have been filled but I did not get any response. I have been reminded many times but still no response and this is not a good thing. Please if Can't give my account but give me the money I have in my upwork pending. I am facing a lot of difficulties. Please release my payment.upwork support team is irresponsible

Hi Sajjad,

 

Please know that, because of privacy reasons, we're unable to discuss any details of your wife's account with you. The best way for her to communicate directly with the correct team would be to reply to the email where she was notified about the suspension. If she's unable to post in the Community you could also direct her to message Upwork's social media profiles below.
