Account Suspended | Cannot Post in the Community

Good day, I hope this message finds you well and good. So, I have two issues. I have created this account because I want to post this to the Upwork community for help and support. I have tried all available means known to me post my issue on the community forum and reach out for support but to no avail. I understand that it is against Upwork's ToS to have more than one account and I abide to that. So I'd delete this account as soon as this issue is resolved. 

 

1. On Thursday, 29th October, 2022, I tried to buy some connects as I was out of connects and I wanted to apply for a job. As a result of this, I was requested to input my payment details. I did as requested, however, the card details I imputed could not be verified and for this reason, my Upwork account, Abdul-Aziz Osikoya, was partially suspended. I have access to it but cannot apply to jobs, accept a new offers, etc. It was mentioned that I can automatically resolve the suspension by inputting another payment details or using a PayPal account. I inputted another payment details which was accepted but awaiting verification. Since then, my account is yet to be unsuspended and I cannot do much with it. Please can you help me check it out and help me resolve this issue. 

 

Another thing that bothers me concerning this suspension is that I was the one who wanted to purchase something from Upwork and yet because my initial card details couldn't be verified, I was suspended. That seems absurd. Upwork was not requesting me to verify anything yet it suspended me for trying to input information about my payment details. Also I did not do anything to violate the Upwork ToS. Please help shed more light on this because I feel this kind of situation is very annoying. I was about to accept a contract offer from a client when this occurred and because of it, I couldn't. 

 

2. Secondly, I'm not able to post or reply to any post on the community forum from my original account. It says that I should verify my email or the reason that I cannot post is that I am not allowed to reply on a particular post. Please help me out. What should I do to resolve this issue?

 

Mind you, my email has been previously verified and my account is fully active. I have also posted previously, once, in the community. 

Thank you very much. 

 

Regards, 

Abdul-Aziz.

My freelancer account has been suspended 6 days ago. I've raised support tickets also. But the tickets showing as SOLVED, but my account still remain suspended. I posted here several times also, but every time you are telling me to wait 24-48 hrs. But I didn't get any result. Please remove the suspension asap. I can't submit proposals. Let me do work, please.

It started when my project catalog was approved, Upwork emailed me saying some of the images I uploaded there contained contact details of other individuals, do I still have a chance to reactivate that account and withdraw my earnings? I also have ongoing projects.

Hello Everyone

Today morning i was trying to buy new connects and my transactions got declined multiple times, at that time i did not notice but my debit card (attached with upwork) was blocked. and due to this unsuccessful payment upwork team suspended my account, I have unblocked the card its fully activated now as well as i have added my payoneer account as secondry payment method, below is the Email i received from upwork team,

Hi Muhammad,
We wanted to check in with you regarding the status of your account, as our attempt to validate your Visa ending in 2637 has been declined. Please contact your bank if you believe this is in error.
Unfortunately, we have to suspend your account until a valid payment method has been added. To resolve the issue, just update your card or add a new card or PayPal account. Once your payment method is validated, your account suspension will be lifted and you will be able to start new contracts.
If you need assistance, please contact Upwork Support.

I need help in getting my account back, as i have consistent clients that i need to deliver projects on time.

Looking for any solutions from upwork coordinators.


Regards

Muhammad.

Hi Harsh,

Please know that freelancers are not allowed to have more than one account on Upwork, regardless of the old account being closed, or suspended. Having multiple freelancer accounts is a serious violation of the Upwork Terms of Service
