Hi,
I recently noticed several large charges to my checking account from Upwork. I believe these are fraudulent charges because I have never linked a payment account to my profile nor have I hired anyone via Upwork in the past. I will be cancelling my debit card but is there anything that can be done on Upwork's side?
Thank you!
Katie

I also had a fraudulent charge this morning for $309. It didnt go through as I didn't have that much on my debit card. I just made this account to post this. I have never given you guys my card number or had an account. Please fix this.

Hi Bonnie,
I'm sorry to hear about this expected charge on your account. I certainly understand how alarming this situation is for you. I'll have one of our team members review this charge and investigate further the account in question. Could you please reach out to me via PM (click on my name) with more details about the charge in question? Like your account or reference number for the transaction so that we can review and assist you accordingly. If you can provide screenshots of the charge that would be extremely helpful. Looking forward to your response.

Hi Pradeep, I am also facing the same issue for being charged over $1000 on my card from upwork. I just made my profile now to be able to contact you and I have never even heard of this website before. Would highly appreciate if someone can get in touch with me.

There are multiple upwork charges of over 1000 USD in my checking account on 27th May 2022. I believe there fraudulent charges as I have no association with upwork. Can you please resolve this as soon as possible or else I have to dispute these charges.

Hi,
I've just seen two unathorised transactions from upwork on our bank statement and have not used upwork for over a year.
Please escalate this issue as a priority and contact me back as soon as possible.

re: "I've just seen two unathorised transactions from upwork on our bank statement and have not used upwork for over a year. Please escalate this issue as a priority and contact me back as soon as possible."
Did you check to see if you have any open contracts?
For example, you hired a freelancer a year ago, and the freelancer did not log any time during the past year, but suddenly logged time during the past couple of weeks.
If I saw surprise transactions on my credit card, the first thing I would do would be to check my Jobs and Contracts.

Yes, I have. A job was posted but no one was assigned to the job.

Hi Hannah,
Thank you for reaching out to us. Do you have a reference number for the transaction? Could you also please provide the date of the transaction so we can check this for you?

Hello,
I've just been charged 1057.5 USD now from my credit card by upwork where I didn't have any activity on my account since years which means nothing has been initiated from my side, the bank informed me that there was a tentative on 15th August for same but didn't succeed due to low balance, but now I got deducted this big amount.
Please support to get back this money ASAP
Thanks

Hi,
Same issue here. I have never heard of Upwork before and got fraudulently charged 8653.8 HKD from my card on 11/10 Hong Kong time. I could not find your email on the website, so I just signed up to post my issue here. The case has been reported to bank.

Hi,
I am having the same issue. I was charged $295.38 by Upwork. I have never had an Upwork account before, so I have no idea why I was charged this. I just signed up so I could post about it here. Please contact me to resolve this issue. Thanks.

Hi there
I just registered an account for the sole purpose of posting this for the Admin's attention.
I have been charged EUR880.50 (around HK$6944.99) on around 3-4 October 2022 last month although I have not applied for any services. I believe this is a fraudulent charge because I have never linked a payment account, credit card, or hired anyone via Upwork. I have cancelled my credit card but please can Upwork liaise with my credit card service provider and resolve the matter ASAP?

Hello,
I create this account solely just to report this.
I've been charged for USD787.5 (HKD 6,179.23) last night 14 Nov 00:57 HKT.
Upwork -530763995REF Dublin IRL.
I never made an account in upwork, neither knowing about your company & the service.
I have called my bank n they verify this transaction not even generating OTP.
How could you even let any transactions happend without OTP, and reading from this thread, it seems this issue keep happening since long time ago and it still happening.
Please take action ASAP and resolve this matter.
Thanks

This is the reference on the transaction and the date

I have fraudulent charges on my account. **Edited for Community Guidelines** never did any work for me. I did not like his work product. He has charged hundreds of dollars through Upwork. Please have someone contact me.
