Terrible website full of sharks and… Terrible website full of sharks and there is NO protection or customer service. We found a freelancer on Upwork - who caused us so much damage. They also sneakily get you to sign up to there dreadful service and its impossible to find out how to stop the subscription. All automated CS no one interest and couldn't give a damn. Still trying to contact them - the chat is a BOT not a person

Poor success rate I’ve used the site 4 times and only once have I received what was paid for. Full of untrustworthy freelancers who just do not deliver on tasks.

site that extracts data and money Freelancers have to make a public profile with a photo of their face, first name and city, which is enough information to identify you if you live in a smaller town or just have an unique name - at the same time it doesn't influence scammers with a very common name or those who are unreachable anyway. Clients don't have to do the same and there are lots of scams. You need to pay upwork to apply for jobs, so freelancers are basically paying to get scammed. At the same time, actual clients aren't happy with the results, as the site focuses more on people's appearance and names (this whole site looks like Facebook), rather than verifying their portfolio and work experience. It is a perfect place to mine data though.

By far the most annoying experience… By far the most annoying experience I've ever had with a freelancer platform. My account is simply blocked for no reason and despite repeated requests. What exactly the problem is, is referred to the terms and conditions and after reviewing the terms and conditions, despite repeated correspondence, I see no reason that justifies the blocking. I can't get any clear information from support. For me, this is nothing other than the biggest scam. How can you block the account of someone who is economically dependent on it? That's unbelievable. I will never use this stupid platform again.

Thieves and scammers Absolutely to be avoided.... A den of scammers from Pakistan nigeria and other remote places . I was scammed for $100. I won the dispute but Upwork refuses to give me the money back. Makes excuse after excuse blaming PayPal . They are a den of thieves . Stay away from them .
