Erik Manuevo is bringing down Upwork.com
My Upwork.com account was shut down due to a reputable client in the LA area. They were 100% legit, huge marketing firm, even tried working with Upwork, Inc to resolve their account but apparently Upwork Inc kept asking for more and more information.
Finally, they closed both of our accounts. They removed ALL approved payments, over $2000 from other clients as well, not just mine.
The ticket started off saying we have a problem with this other person's account, you can continue working. It turns out that while I was making money during the 16 day investigation, they decided to close my account and remove all my earnings :(.
Very unethical business practices. They do not give any proof that you have violated any terms. I have no idea in regards to the other client other than they are quite big and there was nothing to hide; but let's say even if the client was breaking the terms, I shouldn't have my account closed and my money removed.
