Hello everyone))
I'm Khamid from Latvia.
I worked here as a freelancer for 1 year and 6 months and earned a steady income. Thanks to Upwork for this.
I'm currently talking to a client who came here 4 days ago to start a project.
He said in the project details that I would work with his agent on the current project as he was very busy with other projects.
They also said they would pay a price that was almost 1.5 times higher than the hourly rate I suggested.
I am currently doubtful whether I should enter into a contract with this new client.
I had a similar client just 2 months ago and had a very bad experience with his contract.
His contract was determined to be fraudulent so I had to re-verify my account and was unable to work for two weeks because of it.
I'd like Upwork support to look into the client, but I'm not sure how to submit it.
I'd like to get help from the community on this.
Thankk you.
Khamid

Sorry to hear that. I am having a problem just like I accepted a contract for $26, whereas my rate is $24, but I have contracts for $22. Don't be pressured by the client; beware if any contracts get suspended. You can raise a ticket with the details about the proposal.

Thank you Aehab.
During the conversation, I felt that he was a fraud and I did not enter into a contract with him.
