People are asking me to use my account

[merigliano_v]

Hello,

it has happened to me on more than one occasion that people from other freelancing websites ask me to give them my UpWork account. I have never agreed to it as I do realise it could, and probably is, a scam.

I would like to understand why they do this. I'm curious.

I have several emails about several upwork accounts that the Serbia account broker sent me.

The guy required $170 per month and required $75 for tax info verification and $50 for linkedin account verification to sell me.

I have several emails which contains sensitive data and screenshots of skype chatting.

I want to share to let other world people be safe from the guys.

Hello moderators!

It has been almost 2 months since my account got temporarily suspended. 

I already submitted what they were asking me but it's been almost a week and still no response. 

I always post here but the admins/moderators told me that my ticket has been followed up and an agent will get in touch with me but that has not happened yet.

I am completely desperate as I am unable to withdraw any of my earnings to buy my medications for this past 3 months now.

Please help me with this.
