Upwork permanently suspended my account How do I regain access, I recently got top rated and I have over 3k dolls there right now. This is the respond I got Your Upwork account has been suspended for being in violation of our Terms of Service. We have reviewed the information related to your account and we will not be reinstating you. This decision is final and your account is permanently suspended. Can my account be reinstated ever. A client messaged me and sent me his number to message him on whatsapp which I did, then I when i was done with the job, I told him to pay me on Upwork, which he did. However I didn't attach any job files to it. Upwork sent me a message that the job looked fishy, so i was told to send screenshot of the work I completed and the chat we had outside the platform, which I did and sent them the full chat trail. But however, I got a mail today that I've been suspended permanently for violating their terms of service, and now i cant access my over 3k dolls funds there and also I cant access the support ticket again. God I feel really heartbroken, I've been working hard for the past three years and even got top rated badge this year. I caa |

reverendfather: It is so sad to read this. I can’t say I know it feels, but I can only imagine how hurt you are by reading you post. So sorry. 1) You don’t communicate off Upwork until an offer has been made and accepted. 2) What is the nature of the job you did for the client. YouTube review? Posting on FB marketplace? What exactly? 3) You definitely broke the TOS in (1). You have to shed more light on (2). There might be a possibility that your client paid with someone’s card. - Any client that wants to communicate with you off Upwork (Telegram especially) is most likely a scam. It is the same way yahoo boys are always quick to take their victims off FB to WhatsApp. - No client is a fool. Always compare the work to the pay. Clients are more likely to underpay than overpay. If a client is offering $3000 for a basic work, be careful. $3k is not small money anywhere in the world. Sadly your account is gone. The money is gone too… 2 Likes |

The outside communication is a problem, plus the fact you also sent them trails of communication outside Upworks, that's a major issur. I communicate with clients outside Upworks, but we don't type it in the chat, we do it outside upwork message. Sorry about that 7 Likes |

reverendfather: Devastating. I'm sorry this happened to you, brother. If you've been on Upwork for three years, I'm pretty baffled you didn't know outside communication from Upwork without a contract in progress is probably the no.1 violation of Upwork's TOS. At the same time. We make mistakes, and I really understand you. 1 Like |

reverendfather: "Upwork sent me a message that the job looked fishy, so i was told to send screenshot of the work I completed and the chat we had outside the platform, which I did and sent them the full chat trail." It's very strange that you were specifically asked to send chats from outside the platform, was there no communication on Upwork at all? Might have been why they got suspicious. I hope you get your account back though. 1 Like |

I will wait and see what Upwork is trying to do with this recent W-8BEN update. A Nigerian TIN may suffice or not. Or not, because we do not have a tax treaty with the United States. Hence, I hope it's not what I'm thinking since Upwork is a US company. Let's see how they handle this, otherwise, non-US freelancers on the platform may be subjected to 30% tax withholding rate. This means Upwork's fee: 20% + 30% tax withold = 50% slashed from your earnings in total. >: Welcome to corporate America. *So, you may need an ITIN or EIN later. |

Mannyautos:I did, they deleted my post and banned the new account I used in creating the topic, because when suspended, you can't post on their community.So, I created a new account just to post my issue. But instead i got banned and blocked from using the new account without anyone looking into my issue |

Dollywood:I had no idea, honestly speaking. I have never accepted payment outside the platform before, I know this is against their TOS, I had no idea chatting whatsoever outside the platform is prohibited. |

People telling you you would get your account back are people that do not know Upwork. Let me tell you how crazy it can be. If you create another account with that same PC, they would ban it too. Always move your earnings put of Upwork every payday. 2 Likes |

Re: Upwork Thread (Questions/Help/Advice) by Nobody: 2:17pm On Dec 18, 2022 |
pocohantas:The post is quite sketchy sha because Upwork empties the account every month or biweekly depending on the choice So unless he made $3k before the payday that month, there's no way that much was closed with his account |

F*ck Upwork. A race to the bottom platform that sucks. Imagine after buying connects, sending tons of good and shitty proposals, interviews and all. Then you manage to earn $400 on a project on Upwork, they will deduct $80 from it. Leaving you with $320. Which work did Upwork help you with to deduct a whole $80. Only genius will understand where I’m driving at. To freelancers, look for better ways to seek clients. Your clients are everywhere. Run outta here 2 Likes |
