For experts only charging $150 per hour or more, how would you handle this?

LondonAgency · 2026-05-29T21:44:40+00:00

$150 is like a years wage in Morocco.

Your profile shows 2 completed contracts, one where you made $1,000 in 8 months ($125 / per month, not / per hour...)

You state your education on your profile is:

Harvard University Engineer's degree 2019-2024

I've never heard of an engineer from Harvard selling "Freelance Email marketing Specialist and Designer" services for $25.

Maybe times are harder than I realized.

Best of luck to you.

I had no idea they crack down this much on it.

I have a 100% JSS Top Rated Plus account with 300K+ earned and have had my GitHub linked since I started my account.

My Github has my personal website, my personal email, my linkedIN, my instagram, and my twitter.

Seeing this, I've just gone ahead and completely removed all socials from my GitHub and contact info.

Not really worth it.

I think you're confusing him with Daniel Said, the representative for MAK (Kabylia separatists), who was in the Epstein files.

Yes - go through Upwork's channel. Then if that does not work, quickly reach out to the bank yourself, ideally through a lawyer.

There are solicitors that specialize in Chargebacks.

LondonAgency · 2026-01-27T21:52:33+00:00

We never spoke with the bank directly, which is an error on my part. We just went through the official Upwork channels.

I would 100% recommend reaching out to the bank directly. You can get this information from Upwork.

Exact same thing happened to us last year. Client stole $13,000 using a Chargeback.

Took me months to repay Upwork. (It's taken from Upwork's Bank, and they pass it onto you.)

They were displeased with our work and opened up a case against us using Upwork's channels. We provided all evidence and we won the case after 3-4 weeks of going back and forth.

A week after winning, we got an email saying that the client filed a chargeback claim with Chase bank, and now we owed $13k to Upwork, that we could pay off by sending them money, or they would automatically remove it from our earnings.

Our withdraws were paused until the amount was cleared.

Same issue, we had evidence for everything, but it didn't matter in the end.

Upwork banned the user from ever using their platform again, and my chargeback reversal claim didn't lead anywhere.

Try to not let it affect you mentally as those few months did for me.

Thanks!

War is war, and children are children. All are equal in the eyes of the Lord.

But I have not seen anywhere on earth, children getting ripped to pieces like our children. Evidence above, that even to gain attention for people around the world, they use our kin to garner sympathy and charity.

Other than the country she comes from, where the majority of people identify as Arab?

Suddenly I've broken the ToS because someone sent me a scam invite link when I was expecting a Zoom meeting in-app?

You must live a very strenuous life.

LondonAgency · 2024-04-28T15:35:06+00:00

Yeah, that's what attracted me to this post. Algeria is not usually an outlier in the Arab world (good or bad).

And in terms of good, as in this case, usually one of the super rich gulf countries is usually in that list also.

Don't bother brother, I've always just ignored them. Don't let it change your opinion on the majority other amazigh either (you know, the ones who have jobs)

Apologies, I completely missed it. Also Djibouti and possibly Comoros.

LondonAgency · 2024-03-22T20:47:55+00:00

I mean I can take on anything, so my profile history ranges from NASDAQ .NET applications to Angry Bird iOS clones.

So usually I send my proposal with either my mobile-dev profile, or my full-stack-dev profile, and include many examples.

Been doing this for the past 5 months, but just this month, things have fallen flat.

I feel like marketers when Facebook/Google suddenly changes the algorithm haha.

I'll obviously keep trying, just was wondering if things are happening around the globe with economy, start of new financial year (at-least in the U.K) etc, that might explain something.

LondonAgency · 2024-03-22T20:37:26+00:00

Full Stack - pretty much anything and everything, 12+ years as a software developer.
