Hi Christine
I have fallen for the cryptocurrency scam.
A client posted his offer to buy cryptocurrencies and being new and without a prior contract, I applied
The client contacted me, and we signed the contract in two milestones. Everything went well, and he even gave me good feedback and 5 stars. To my surprise, the client goes to complain to his bank about the transfers made and asks for a refund from the bank.
The bank also contacted Upwork. Really too many scammers on the Upwork platform.
Currently, my withdrawal is suspended. Puff
Solved! Go to Solution.

More likely it was a stolen credit card. Upwork can't pay freelancers if they don't receive the money, aside from that transaction being not allowed, but you know that now, I guess.
