Account Suspended

Please resolve my issue !!
I am not able to submit proposals as it says "you can't submit a proposal because your account is suspended.".
However, when I submitted an appeal to unsuspend my account they responded that my account is not suspended. Please resolve my issue.
I'm not getting a proper support on this. I've been only asked to clear cache & cookies & I've tried it several times but doesn't work. Also, the same issue persists on mobile app. There must be a technical issue then. Please investigate this matter.

Thank you!

Hi Hassaan,

 

If the action buttons that you usually use are grayed out, the Trust & Safety team may have suspended your account. In that case, you will have received a support ticket with an email notification about the action on your account. Please refer to your ticket on this page and reply to the email if you have any questions for the team.

Today I had a problem getting SMS code to login to my account. Suddenly I got locked out, I've reported it and I was told Upwork support can't verify my account. Everytime I login it says my account has been suspended and when I filed a dispute, Upwork replied that they either could not find my account or my account is still active. I still have funds to withdraw and I still have an active contract right now. Please help. I just created this new account so I can post here. Thank you!

Hi Denise,

 

Could you please click on my name above this post and send me a private message with the registered email address for the account you are referring to?

Hi Jerry,

 

Thank you for reaching out. The ticket you shared is under a different account than the one you're using to post. Are you reaching out on behalf of someone else? If so, please advise this person that the team assigned to their ticket will continue to assist them and follow up within the next 24 to 48 hours.

Hi LuiggiR,

 

Thanks for the response. Yes. I did sent the message on her behalf since she can't login to her account. 
It's been more than 24hours. She needs help as she has an active contract. Ticket #  (#46152660 ). As per her she was successfully reactivated it "Your account has been successfully reactivated. You can now use it to log in" then when trying to login she received a message saying it is suspended. Please help.

Hi Jerry,

 

My name is Joanne, and I'm responding here on behalf of Luiggi. It seems like you are following up on the status of a ticket for someone else. We won't be able to discuss the status of another user's account for privacy and security reasons. Please have her check the ticket directly or the email associated with her Upwork account, as the same information will be sent there. The team will be assisting her directly.

Hi JoanneP,

 

Thanks fot the response.

 

We tried to check the ticket directly however we received a message "

Oh! It looks like that page has moved." 

 

We don't want to send a follow up on the email we received because it might go to the back of the queue. Arnold E. was the one who sent the email but till now no update. Ticket number https://support.upwork.com/hc/en-us/requests/46152660  

 

Should she create a new acct so that she can login and report this issue and get the update since you cant share the information due to privacy?

 

 

Please help. It's already 48hours.

Hi Luiggi, would you be able to help me with my ticket as well? Ticket 46163651. This is my account that got suspended. I just created this new account so I can post. I was told to check the ticket for updates but I am not able to do that because I don't have any access to my original account anymore.

Hi Denise,

 

Thanks for sharing this with us. You should be able to access the ticket even if you can't access the account. You should've received a notification to the email associated with the account and be able to communicate with the team through your email. Could you please check on that and let us know if you are still having trouble? Check your spam/junk folder if it's not in your primary mailbox.

My account is now locked because it says my security question answer was incorrect but it was the correct answer. I'm not unable to login and haven't received any contact from support as I have funds attached to the account. I have created a ticket but received no response or follow up. Hoping to get help and verify my identity as quick as possible. The only way I was able to make this post was on a separate account. My main account is not accessible. 

Hi Saijean,

 

Can you please click on my name and send me a private message with the registered email address of the account in question? I'll be happy to look into it.

I just set up a new account and added a credit card.  One credit card was not accepted, so I entered another card which was acccepted.  Then noticed a banner at the top of my account that stated "We have permanently blocked your account".  I can find no way to submit a ticket or appeal.  Not a great experience so far.  I'm just looking for web design, I'm not sure what I did to have my account locked...  This is wasting my time as well.

My account says suspended, no idea why? Absolutely ridiculous that you can't speak to anyone about this. Need this fixing today or i'm going to use Fiverr instead.

Hi Chris,

I'm sorry to hear about your account suspension. You could try reaching out to support to discuss this matter. I'm sure the support team will assist you in understanding the exact reason and help you resolve it.

chatbot doesn't let you speak to a human. You have to open a suspension appeal form and if you read on here it takes months. Upwork customer support is awful.

Hi Chris,

 

I'm sorry to hear you were having trouble reaching out to support about this. We’ve escalated your community post to a support ticket. One of our agents will be in touch with you soon to assist.

Upwork was accepting my card without a problem until I had no funds to cover for a contract by hour, I added funds to my account and upwork is now declining my card "error". I contacted my bank and they said its upworks issue, any card I add now it doesnt work. It's been almost 72 hours since the ticket from live chat support, still no response, and now I am getting emails from upwork to solve this issue before I get some restrictions. My contract with a freelancer has been paused because of this, and you are making me lose money now. Thank you very much upwork for your lovely bugs and support team. I am limited for your own mistakes and bugs.

how can i help am a freelancer

I am writing in behalf of my finance since she can't login using her account. Can we please get an update with this ticket#46152660. It's been more than 48hours and we still havent received any details. She badly need to access her account since she has an active contract. Thanks!

Hello,

 

I got permanantly banned from my account when all I did was request a review for my work. If I cannot do that, what can I do? Please give me back access to my acocunt. I had an ongoing order and I already paid, but have not yet released payment to the freelancer. I will not release till I get my account back as I need her to clarify some points. I need my account back now. This is not fair. Please investigate nicely and do the right thing.

Hello Upwork community,

My account was suspended over two weeks ago for 'paying myself'. I have given an explanation for this incident, and reached out multiple times with Upwork support, but haven't had any response. Does anyone know what I should do about this?

Thank you,
Will Hawkins
