Dear readers,
Upwork.com is disturbingly defective. It has informed me for the 1st time=
=20
after I had registered an account that it blocks functionalities because=20
it wants to send a text message for verification to a =E2=80=9Cphone=E2=80= =9D. No employer=20
ever gives me a telephone which can receive a text message.
Another fault of Upwork.com is that it misleadingly said in red writing=20
that its Address-Line-1 field needs to be within a certain size range=20
(when it already was) when actually it was malfunctioning because its=20 Address-Line-2 field was correctly not empty. I overcame this bug by=20
moving this Address-Line-2 field=E2=80=99s contents into this City field (t= hereby=20
losing enough space for this full address).
A defect of Upwork is that it does not let me use it to contact a=20
freelancer who uses it. Upwork forbids SWIFT-IBAN wire transfers for=20 payments! =E2=80=9CStay safe
Only pay f re e lance rs through Upwork, e nsur ing Payme nt Prote ct=20 ion.=E2=80=9D said Upwork yesterday. Copying and pasting from Upwork does n= ot=20
work! I lost a lot of time on 11/05/2025 and 12/05/2025 because=20 WWW.Upwork.com is a buggy website - as a bank confirmed on 12/05/2025 that=
=20
I correctly entered Visa-debit-card details into this website.
I emailed a complaint to legalnotices at Upwork.com on
Date: Mon, 12 May 2025 02:07:04 +0200 (CEST)
- =E2=80=9CDear Sir/Madam of Upwork [. . .]
Upwork's buggy website said inter alia: "We are unable to authorize your=20 card. Please add another billing method or contact your issuing bank."
[. . .]
I do not have time to waste and Upwork wasted a day, especially with a=20
huge number of pages of terms and conditions. Upwork does not impress me.
Upwork so-called "Support" refuses to solve this bug. Solve it=20
immediately. I do not have time to waste!=E2=80=9D

Seventeen minutes after I invited a freelancer, Upwork wrongly showed:
"Posted 17 minutes ago [. . .]

Upwork does not work with Google Chrome Version 49.0.2623.112 m..
Upwork does not work at all with Internet Explorer 9. It says:
"Internet Explorer cannot display the webpage
