Suspended Account

Hello,

 

We are agency and we had an account with upwork since many years. We were busy with the other work. Since last few years we were not accepting the freelancing work due to business contracts.

Now we want to start with the freelancing work again. When i login to my account i see a message "Your account has been suspended". We alreay have work history on upwork. Can someone help me to get the account active.

 

 

 

Thanks & Regards,

All these dealings between family and friends are always suspicious.
Why does your cousin hire you through Upwork?
Why pay fees and other expenses when he can hire you directly?

Because he wants to know how to use Upwork and also make sure it's really useful platform.... Did you get it?

Good evening, I noticed a similar problem on my account, I joined upwork not too long ago.
After I was verified by documents and video, I was asked for verification by documents and address. I provided all the necessary documents and once again waited for moderation, after the verification passed I noticed that I had a blocking badge gone. Of course I was happy and wanted to go back to search for customers, but I saw that I could not send an offer, the button simply did not click and was grayed out.

How do I definitively verify my account, what documents do I need to upload that I could use my account? And most importantly how to avoid this in the future?

Hello,

Why my account has been suspended?
I don't know my fault and how I can get back my account,
could you tell me the reason for suspending the account..?

I like to work on Upwork, not other sites.

Hello everyone,

I am a newish freelancer on Upwork. I have done 10-20 proposals over the last few months and I received 3-5 contracts; none of which I accepted and as of yet ; I have not completed any work on Upwork.

The main reason of course is because those opportunities I was presented with were not a very good fit for my skills and/or lifestyle. 

I always reject offers politely highlighting the reason why while wishing the client all the best so I never upset anyone or anything.

2 weeks ago, I have finally found a Customer Support role that I like and really believe to be a good fit (Hooray!)

The contract is due to start on the 2nd of may. 

I woke up today to Upwork freezing or blocking from Upwork without stating any reason why or which rule exactly have I violated I mean is it because I refused to work the previous opportunity? Is it because I have been on the platform for a few months without earning any revenue?

I tried contacting support but I have received no response as of yet.

I'm afraid this will embarrass me with my client and it will definitely lead to a frustrating experience for the client.. 

What should I do? Should I speak with my client or is there a certain official email for upwork's team that I can send to?

I have not even worked at all for all I know, how can I violate a rule without even doing anything?

Your advice is very much appreciated.

Regards
