I'm trying to develop a library that try to detect auto-click on a page.The library will be imported on several different pages, some will have jquery, some other will not, or will have other different libraries, so my solution should be vanilla javascript.

the goal is to have several security layers, and the first one will be in javascript, this library will not be the only counter measure against auto-click, but should provide as much informations as possible.

The idea is to intercept all click and touch events that occur on the page, and if those events are script generated, something will happen (should be a ajax call, or setting a value on a form, or setting a cookie or something else, this is not important at this stage).

I saw this working on a html page without any other js in it, but since I added this javascript to test the auto-click detection simply "nothing" happens, and with nothing I mean both autoclick and detection.The same code as follow, if used in the console, is working fine, and events are intercepted and evaulated.this is the script used:

I guess the problem is in "how I attach the event handler", or "when", so what I'm asking is what can I do to intercept clicks events "for sure", the idea is to intercept clicks on every element, present and future, I don't want to prevent them, just be sure to intercept them somehow. Of course I cannot intercept those events that has been prevented and do not bubble, but I'd like to "try" to have my js "before" any other.

Unfortunately, when the client fails to pay for hours logged by the freelancer, any hours that aren't covered by Upwork Hourly Protection may be reversed. Please check out this help article for more information. When this happens, first an automatic notification is sent but the team will also be reaching out to you directly via email with more information about your specific account.

I have the memos, DON'T USE MANUAL TRACKING and AUTO-CLICKER, USE UPWORK TRACKER and it all can see in my work diary. I have the spreadsheet of the work I've done. I was confident that Upwork hourly contract is protected, unfortunately it's not. Upwork should give me back my hard-earned money. It's 60 hours of work!

I am a new freelancer in upwork, recently my earnings refunded to my client account showing a cause that is "auto clicker detection" but I never installed any auto clicker apps and and never use it. So why upwork did this. The contact was hourly and I regularly provided update about my works and time to my client. He was totally satisfied with my works and gave me 5 start review. My earnings status was in "pending " and at the end of the day, upwork mailed me that payment refunded to client. And then I went to message my client But I found, he blocked me as soon as he got refunded.

Hello Annie Jane B
I got your point. But my question is that when I did not use any auto clicker even though I never install any auto clicker in my desktop then where they found an auto clicker in my desktop?

Another point is when my client was worried about time and asked me how much it will take. I replied to him with an estimated time that was (1.2-1.5*26) which means 31.5 -39 hours. He had no complaints against that estimated time.And I finished his job within 31 hours ( in the lowest time). But in the end, he did not pay me and as soon as he got a refund he blocked me.
On the other side, Upwork denied my payment as well as suspended my account by showing auto-clicker detection.
please let me know what was my fault. I really want to know my fault.

I know none can give the answer to my question. When they mailed me the second time they said that I manipulated my keywords ( they notified some unusual in my keywords) I explained to them why it was unusual. They did not reply to me regarding this issue instead they are asking me to leave feedback about their support.

I can see in these thread that same issues is happening. We don't used auto clicker and yet our supposedly payment automatically refunded by Upwork. What's happening in Upwork? Is the freelancer no longer safe to work here? All the hard-earned money will be loss instantly and Upwork will not help freelancer to get it back! This is so frustrating!

I've been working on UpWork for the last 5 years and never was in such a situation: I was absolutely shocked, when I saw an email from UpWork today, telling me that I have to return the money for the perfectly completed work. (Email attached below)

And this contract was SUCCESSFULLY finished 1 month ago, my client was satisfied and he paid all the amount, then we closed the contract. Now after a month Upwork tells me that I have to return the full amount (550$) because my client made some kind of a bank reversal. What is the point of the "Upwork Fixed Price contracts protection" ? Where is the protection, where are the guarantees? HOW can a freelancer be charged to return the money that he earned for successfully finishing a job? What if my every client will make a "payment reversal" ? How is it even possible... Why doesn't UpWork compensate this and contact the client, but instead, contacts the freelancer and asks the freelancer to return all the money for the completed work?

I have all screenshots of a dialogue with the client while working, all Work-In-Progress steps. I have no idea what happened with my client, I'm writing him right now too. But it is a nonsense that freelancer is responsible for the CLIENT'S card reversals, while UpWork gave all the guarantees. For real?

I'm sorry to hear about the unexpected refund/reversal that's been processed on your account. Please note that when the client fails to pay for hours logged by the freelancer, any hours that aren't covered by Upwork Hourly Protection may be reversed.

Hello sir,
How are you? I hope you are well. I need your help. Can you see my contract details?

Contract ID 31915120

You can see why I am getting this contract money back at my work but, I have successfully completed my work. My client was happy with my work and approved the mailstone after my work submission. But, why would I pay you my payment? I requested your refund. Upwork Let me know that we send you the final reduction in 90 days and 90 days have been completed, please help me look forward to your kind response. I don't want this money. Please help me.

I applied for a job in 2016, at that time when I was applying on the Job. The Client profile was showing "Payment Method Verified". The client hired me and I started my work. I worked "10:50 hrs" in a week. When it's time to get paid on Sunday. There was an error while charging his account. So there could be a couple of options that the client used, he removed his payment method before Sunday, or he blocked his card from the bank before Sunday. That's why Upwork gets an error while charging the payment.
So what is my fault? I completed my work, Spent my time. I applied for his job, while Upwork showed his "Payment method Verified". What is the benefit and guarantee of Upwork?
The client sent me a message in my inbox as well. You can check below:


"""Hi sorry sir, I've just realized the situation - it seems our assistant had to suspend all contracts due to a legal issue with another freelancer. I have just been notified now of the situation. It is an issue regarding adding manual time that was not tracked so currently contracts are suspended until our team goes through work diaries to make sure everything is clear."""

So what is my fault? It is your guarantee to Pay me because it was an Hourly contract and when I applied for the Job, the client profile showed "Payment Method Verified".
Also, a client can't hire on an hourly contract, until his payment method is verified. Why my contract started with him if the payment method was not verified?

I worked continuously for about 16 hours for a client on an hourly contract. My payment was pending and tomorrow I was going to get that. But now I have received an email from Upwork that they have to refund the payment back to the client because of a few memos. The screenshots are there and the client did not say anything during this time period.
My question is why the client does not dispute and why this thing did not happen when the payment was in review.
It was 1200$ and I spend a long period on that.
Please help me

I'm sorry to hear about the unexpected refund that's been processed on your account. Please note that when the client fails to pay for hours logged by the freelancer, any hours that aren't covered by Upwork Hourly Protection may be reversed.
