Hi Muhammad,

 

If you need help verifying your email, we’ll need to ask you to confirm some private account details in order to help you. At Upwork, protecting your privacy is our priority. With this in mind, it would be best if you reach out directly to our support team so they can assist you within a private and secure channel of communication. 

 

How do I reach a human in customer support?

 

  1. Please visit Contact Support and click the ‘Chat with Upwork' button.
  2. Type a question or topic and select ‘Send’. The bot will find relevant Help articles for you.
  3. The chatbot will ask you to confirm if you need additional help. If you confirm that you need additional help, you will be asked to confirm the account type you need help with.
  4. From there, the support options available to you will be listed. Select either of the options to be able to contact the Upwork Support Team.

Trying to post a job but it says I need to verify my email, so I try to do that, but I'm caught in some kind of loop.  I click on send verification email, then I receive an email, but when I click on it I get the following message:

 

This email verification link has expired or is incorrect.

We have sent a new verification link to...
 
So then I get another email and click on it and get the same error message again.  I'm stuck.  I need help please.

Hello. I set up a new account last week and have been waiting to receive an email verification email ever since. I have twice requested the email to be resent, and still have received nothing. Since I am unable to call or email anyone directly to look into this, I am hoping this post will reach someone that can help me out. Thank you.

Hi Rebecca,

 

I checked and the confirmation email was sent to your email successfully. Make sure you've entered the email address correctly and lastly use the option to change the email address you provided if you are still having issues. Afterwards, Please resend the email one more time, check your inbox and spam folder, check the settings for your email provider and make sure emails from Upwork aren't being blocked. 

 

Let us know if you received the confirmation email.

 

Thank you!

I am having trouble as well. If I click re-send email I get the email but when I click to verify it says the link has expired. It then sends me another verification email and you guessed it, the link has expired. It’s stuck in some hellish loop.

Hello, 

 

My attempts to verify my email result in a loop with the following message: 

 

This email verification link has expired or is incorrect.

We have sent a new verification link to **Edited for Community Guidelines**
Use this new link to verify your email address.
 
But ends in the same result.

I am having a similar issue as I see others have had. I'm attempting to verify my email, and the response says "This email verification link has expired or is incorrect" so I do it again and same thing happens. I the meantime, I seems as if my access is limited. I've been unable to invite/add another user, etc.
