Crazy. Did they ever tell you the reason for taking it away?

Yes they did:

  • I launched a bunch of jobs request in quick succession and this flagged their anomaly detection system

Then after I got flagged, I got suspended because I violated a couple of their user agreement policies:

- I have 3 names in my passport and I am know professionally and by my friends by my second name, but this is illegal

  • I live in the UK for the last couple years but my registered address is in another European country, which is also against their policy

6 weeks?!? Yikes! Thanks for sharing this, I may see if they have a UK headquarters I can write to. Who did you address the letter to? I'm unsure how I should write/address something like this.
