Updates: Also I had 5.5K in my Upwork wallet but Upwork made my account suspended so I couldn’t withdraw… Perhaps they will get it.

I am an individual freelancer and most of the time, I love to make websites.

In June 2019, I found Upwork is a secure and trusted freelancing platform with unlimited clients and projects.

Wow!!! What a nice platform!!! I thought.

I did create my account and started working.

For the first time, it was really hard to work because clients told me “you are a new freelancer”, “no Upwork work history” and etc.

But I could make the first goal with a basic HTML project and that was enjoyable.

Freelancing on Upwork was very nice at that time, even I got a new hourly fee job, that was unbelievable.

I did really hardworking and my clients love my deliverable.

I received good feedback from my clients and they helped me to get new jobs.

And I could make brilliant success on Upwork and made 20K.

Good luck but bad luck!

As you know, after creating upwork account, we need to have a call with Upwork and must verify your identity.

I started with Rising Talent badge, but after a video call, it was disappeared.

I made another video call and another after 1, 2 months later.

Personally I don’t like this kinda complicated process, but I followed the policy and their process.

But on Sep 21, they sent me a message that they found irregular activities on my account.

But I did nothing.

I just have relocated and my IP address has changed.

Even I have got a new ID card from the government.

I explained why and they understood me. Their response was fucking…

I need to wait 2 days for their reply every time.

I have uploaded my ID successfully and made a video call with the Upwork agency.

But nothing… By now, they sent me my account will on hold permanently.
