Account Suspended | Cannot Post in the Community

[#1]

Good day, I hope this message finds you well and good. So, I have two issues. I have created this account because I want to post this to the Upwork community for help and support. I have tried all available means known to me post my issue on the community forum and reach out for support but to no avail. I understand that it is against Upwork's ToS to have more than one account and I abide to that. So I'd delete this account as soon as this issue is resolved. 

1. On Thursday, 29th October, 2022, I tried to buy some connects as I was out of connects and I wanted to apply for a job. As a result of this, I was requested to input my payment details. I did as requested, however, the card details I imputed could not be verified and for this reason, my Upwork account, Abdul-Aziz Osikoya, was partially suspended. I have access to it but cannot apply to jobs, accept a new offers, etc. It was mentioned that I can automatically resolve the suspension by inputting another payment details or using a PayPal account. I inputted another payment details which was accepted but awaiting verification. Since then, my account is yet to be unsuspended and I cannot do much with it. Please can you help me check it out and help me resolve this issue. 

Another thing that bothers me concerning this suspension is that I was the one who wanted to purchase something from Upwork and yet because my initial card details couldn't be verified, I was suspended. That seems absurd. Upwork was not requesting me to verify anything yet it suspended me for trying to input information about my payment details. Also I did not do anything to violate the Upwork ToS. Please help shed more light on this because I feel this kind of situation is very annoying. I was about to accept a contract offer from a client when this occurred and because of it, I couldn't. 

2. Secondly, I'm not able to post or reply to any post on the community forum from my original account. It says that I should verify my email or the reason that I cannot post is that I am not allowed to reply on a particular post. Please help me out. What should I do to resolve this issue?

Mind you, my email has been previously verified and my account is fully active. I have also posted previously, once, in the community. 

Thank you very much. 

Regards, 

Abdul-Aziz.

Hello Aaditi
Since you are new to Upwork, I think Upwork can ask you to verify your account anytime. This has happened to me before because I'm a new member as well.
I have to open a Ticket and they asked me to submit my Government ID to the Ticket I created before they can rectify my account.
Just be patient and make sure your Government ID is available in case they request any of it.
You can read more on this to know document Upwork Accept

Hello Upwork Community,

Can anyone help me with this?

My Upwork account got suspended on 3rd December.  I did not receive any email from Upwork regarding the suspension of my account. I even checked my spam folder in my email, but I have not received any mail from Upwork regarding the suspension of my account.

But I reached out to the Upwork support team and now my account is active. Now, even though my account is active, I am not able to access my profile.  It says, "this profile is not active". I cannot access my own profile. Even my clients cannot view my profile and portfolio.

Apart from that, all my proposals including active proposals were withdrawn without my consent. 

Can anyone guide me on how to solve this problem? I want to access my profile just as before.

Thank you.

I'm facing the same issue. My account was suspended without a reason, and now it is active. But I can't access my profile. I contacted the support team and I was told to clear cache and cookies which I have done, but still the same result. 

Please Upwork, can you provide a solution to this? This is already frustrating. 

Thank you.

Hi 

i have an account that i was using from more than 3 years.i haven't made any violation of TOS but upwork has suspended my account without telling me the reason of the suspension they just say that i have a critical violation and we will no longer assist you on this issue.

i have my money in my upwork wallet.if upwork has to suspend my account upwork should allow me to withdraw my money.

and if i create a new account on upwork does it has any effect on my new account for the previous account suspension?

Hi, My account got suspended last week, I contacted Upwork support using Chat and they told me that the account is suspended because my account is from Russia and Belarus.
I am from Pakistan and I never traveled to Russia or Belarus. My Profile location is also Pakistan and I also verify this to Upwork using my Pakistani Identity card. 

Please help me to restore my account so that I can continue working on my profile.
Thanks
