Scam

I was scammed by people posting they were going to give me leads. All lists provided were trash. So I reported them and asked for a refund, now I received an email that I owe money? To my surprise. I log back in, which I thought I had closed the account, and long behold, it is still active and it’s charging me. I will not pay for scam. Refund and close my account

Desapoined

I trying to contract a freelancer abroad, but you blocked my account. What a great help for an entrepreneur.

Communication and ease

I have no idea how to invite someone to a job or message them. I’ve combed all over the place. All I can see is post a new job and there’s no way to talk to customer support.

The worst experience

Upwork must not be wise and professional decision for serious projects. Neither Upwork nor their freelancers can understand the significance of real serious project.
