People are asking me to use my account

[Christine A]

This guy told you that he was planning to scam people, and you let him have access to your account in return for money. So you aren't the victim - you're a scammer, too. Upwork will ban your account, and you won't get your money back. Be thankful that you only lost $25, because it could have been much worse.

[Martina P]

What is your age? You are under 18, right? Plus you don't have a real picture. Plus you allowed somebody else to use your account. You know where I'm going with this, right?

[Enrique C]

Why did you accept? I mean, what did you think they wanted your account
for?

[Enrique C]

I don't know how to help you. Maybe it's worthless, but try to contact
Freelancer and submit to the police all the information you have about the
guy. Maybe they can trace him somehow. It's not likely that you'll get your
money back, but it'll help other people.

[Maria T]

Why help him?
He has a fake photo, possibly he is not of age and it has become clear that he is a scammer.
Just as the original scammer's account was banned, this freelancer's account must also be banned.
And like Christine said, at least he's only lost a little money.
We don't need more people like that.

@ Veronica --

They do this because (as you have guessed) they are low-life scammers.

If and when possible (that is, if these pond scum have any connections/links to UpWork), report them immediately.

 How do you figure?

Ha ha.

(Aleksandr is being sarcastic.)

Of course, even if these "account borrowers" sincererely desire to use somebody's account in order to do good work for clients (which is a big IF, and probably NOT the case).... But even if that was the case...

Both the "borrower" and the real Upwork account holder would be guilty of "scamming Upwork."

It is against Upwork ToS for any Upwork user to let anybody else use their account.

Doing so is grounds for all people involved to have their accounts permanently terminated.

[Goran V]

Could you please share more details and clarify your question so that I can advise you accordingly? Thank you.
