I decided to try Upwork for a project recently, found someone with a perfect rating and tons of happy reviews. She started off great, chatting every day, keeping me updated on "progress." But in the end, it never actually materialized. Every update was just vague promises of "great things to come" or "exciting developments." By the time the deadline loomed large, I hadn't seen a single piece of the project finished, no messages, no updates, nothing. Of course I got alittle scared later, reached out to Upwork's support team.they some digging and found out this freelancer apparently has a history of this – disappearing acts on other clients. They couldn't exactly call it a scam but what is this then?? How could they let someone stay in the system like this???

We started discussing the details, and they asked for official documents like my license, pictures of the car, and some other information.

I loaded funds to my Uption account using my credit card, and the payment was successfully deducted—but the money never showed up in my account. Since then, I’ve been trying to reach UPT (Uption), but it’s impossible. No one answers the phones, and they haven’t responded to any of my emails or inqui...
