Has anyone experienced restrictions on their Upwork account right after completing their profile? If so, I’m curious to know how you dealt with the situation and whether support responded to you?
 
They are getting better and better at detecting fake accounts as is everyone else. Maybe they somehow connected the new account to other accounts you have and found it suspicious. Or you used a suspicious proxy/VPN or browser.

1) I used all unique, unique ip, laptop etc. 2) Account not fake it registered on real person
 
Maybe the account creation triggered their security. There should be a notification informing you of the issue. Try reaching out to support to check what you can do.
 
I've noticed this too. Not just upwork even freelancer(dot)com and fiverr(dot)com are too sensitive nowadays when it comes to creating new accounts.


The only solution I would recommend is that you email them and tell them that you are a real user looking to find work or hire a freelancer. They will definitely uplift restrictions.
 
Try contacting them on Twitter too. Their support there is sometimes quicker than email.

no one message from support and no one reply on my sms
 
what real person did you used? I mean if you were able to find it maybe someone else too and spam that person information :D but if this your account and your info just wait for a response or just try to create a new one also they might have a triger during registration to get an account under review or allow it.

https://support.upwork.com/hc/en-us/articles/360001176427-Verify-your-identity Do this. I can imagine that your last one got banned because you were trying to take people off the platform got caught, or doing a bad job. Thats the only 2 reasons you need another account.

Its a great way to break family ties and friendships relaying on people for 3rd party accounts. They have to do all the work for verification. You should be more responsible, and not bother your friend, but take on the platform yourself. If you can't get back on then should have thought about that first, and now you can join in on bhw and tell the noobs you see trying to spam upwork with bought accounts or whatever, that they should use the platform the right way.
 
Hello,

Did you get the account back? I created a new account for my friend as well, from my computer and he got restricted instantly... under review for 2 days now.

Thank you.
