Senior Graphic Design

Upwork is a great platform for a graphic designer that is looking for a job opportunity while working from home. It really helped me raise my monthly income and work from home at the same time.

I recently signed up at Upwork and had my first project which took me about 1 day of work. All seemed to be perfectly normal. I completed the project the client approved payment and then suddenly my account was blocked.

After reaching out to the Customer Service, they informed me that I had to verify several details. Which I did, then they asked if I could reach out to my client as there was a problem they could not explain. I reached out to the client and didnt get an answer.

Then I mailed Upwork during a period of 2 months several times, I hardly got any response, sometimes it took over a week to get a respond from Upwork.

Today I received the message (see screenshot attached) that because my client was fraudulent they won't be paying me for my completed work.

It has been a terrible experience working with this company. There CS is rude, unprofessional takes ages to respond and the worst: they won't pay me for my completed work.

I strongly advice to not work with Upwork if you don't want to lose your money. This company is a mess!

Easily the best platform to find and be talent. No arbitrary barriers to entry like TopTal--just a community of people with skills and portfolios to show their abilities regardless of level.

While Upwork does take a 20% commission, I believe it is worth it to have all your clients managed through one place and to have an easy hub to find jobs.

Dont waste your time!
March 17, 2016

Don't use this website if you are smart! I shouldve read the reviews before I signed up with this company! They are a joke. Majority of people on this site posting ads are scam artist and or identity thieves! Upwork help and support team is a joke and they don't uphold anything they say in any way shape or form. This site is EXTREMELY UNETHICAL AND THEY ENABLE PEOPLE TO SCREW YOU OVER AND THEY ARE RIGHT ALONG SIDE OF THE SCAMMERS! DON'T SAY i DIDN'T WARN YOU... GUARANTEED YOU'LL BE HERE WRITING A REVIEW LIKE THIS.
