Stole my account

My account was stolen and the email address was changed and I cannot enter it, I have all the proofs that it is mine. What should I do?

First thing is to reach out to support with these details especially the timeline at which your account was tampered with.

How can I contact customer support?

Hi Arsen, 


You can send me the email address of the account you are referring to so that I can look into it. Please send it to me through a private message.

But now it isn't visible. Could you please check is it closed or not. If it isn't closed please close my account.
I have all the proofs that it is mine, if you want we can talk via skype, or I can send you my documents e.t.c.

Hi Ruslan,

 

Because you think your account was compromised we'll escalate it to our account security team for further investigation. Please allow time for our team to complete the process and update you via email regarding this concern. Thank you.

Hi, again
I want to clarify that the account was not exactly stolen from me, but it
was created by someone using my personal data (name, photo, etc.). I titled
my message Stole my account because I couldn't understand how to create new
topic, I just found this one.
Please resolve it ASAP because I don't want my personal data to be used by
someone else except me!

If you want we can talk via skype, I can send you my personal documents or
anything you need to prove that it is me.

Hi Ruslan,

 

Please click on my name and send me a PM with the profile URL of the account you`re referring. Our team will investigate it further and proper actions will be taken, thank you.

Ruslan,

 

It's difficult, but try not to panic and follow the advice you have been given by two moderators in this thread - send them all the details you can think of and they will try and sort it for you.

 

Presumably this person took the data from your existing Upwork account and created another account in your name?  

 

 


 

Hi, Nichola!
I created this account which I use currently just few days ago because I couldn't connect with Customer Support.
I think my personal data was used from my Linkedin **Edited for Community Guidelines**
