I was scammed by an Upwork Client in January; the dollar amount was low therefore I just decided to let it go. Recently I realized, as a result of this incident, and because I am new to providing freelance services on this platform, my Client Success Rate dropped below 60%.
As per instructions from the Chat bot, I flagged the message correspondence with the “Client” however, I am not sure if this will fully resolve the Client Success Rate issue.
I have been a consultant for over a decade and have never encountered an issue like I had with this Upwork User during my career. I would like to continue trying Upwork, in hopes this is a rare incident, however, I am afraid prospective clients, understandably, would not engage with someone with such a low Client Success Rate. For the sake of other freelancers as well, I truly hope this User is reviewed by an appropriate Upwork resource.
I’m feeling pretty low about this experience; I would be grateful for direct correspondence with a representative.
Thank you in advance.

I think it was client's private feedback. Upwork dont care about that and wont help you with. Sorry, but as-is.
Keep collecting good feedbacks to allign your JSS. In your case an 2-3 jobs for $300 will fix it. Also you can ask your "in progress" clients to close contracts with feedbacks.

Nah forget about it.... how can I trust UpWork at this point. What if I get scammed out of a much larger job and UpWork will not bother to respond to absolutly any attemps for contact. I can't afford to waste the time. I have a feeling UpWork will continue to decline until someon buys them out.
