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.

Hello,

 

My account was permanantly suspended without giving me any notice. Apperently because I had a duplicate account open a long time ago which I forgot about. They asked me to choose, and I chose this. They still haven't lifted the restictions from my account, it's been 2 days. I have an ongoing job with a freelancer, and I cannot receive my work, nor can she receive payment. I have a really urgent deadline. 

 

Worst upwork experience ever. Never using it again after this job.

Upwork is not responding to my ticket and my account is restricted from past almost 15 days. I want to submit my proposal and I am being restricted as of now. I want to grow and I have invested so much of my money and time in this profile.

Hello, I've completed the verification process, and currently, my status is under manual review. However, I've been actively engaging in recruitment discussions with potential candidates. Unfortunately, I'm now suspended, and I'm concerned that this might cause me to lose out on potential hires. Is there any way to expedite the process? My business urgently needs to recruit staff.

Hi Upwork Team,

My Upwork account was suspended since 12th March 2024 because I violated TOS unknowingly. I have submitted all the email conversations with client and the screenshots of our work done to prove the point in the appeal. The support team is unresponsive now. Please kindly help me to reactivate my account.

I will take care of all Upwork Terms in Future. 

Hope to hear from you soon.

Regards,

Hi NikolaS and other Upwork team,

 

It has been more than 3 weeks and my profile is still showing temporary suspended. I didn't hear any reply from Upwork even after regular followups.

Please help to activate my profile asap so I can start my work.

 

Thanks!

My account original account was blocked a few days ago, the support did their checkups and marked the case as solved. They said the only thing i needed to do was change my profile picture.  However I was unable to edit and change the profile picture, the edit button was greyed out, cleared cache and nothing same with no emails or follow ups.   This is not my freelancer account, I created this simply to get into the forum.  I did not use my same name so there would be a flag of creating another account.

 

Please assist. 

 

Here are my support case numbers ID#46220186 & ID#46247889
