[US] Yesterday I was charged by Upwork (roughly 2000) despite not having an account with them or ever using them.

After I deposited a check into my bank account, I checked later in the day and was charged 5 times total for over $2000 total. I checked my email accounts and didn’t see anything from UpWork regarding an account being made or anything in the last few years. I called my bank and they canceled by card and they sent me a fraud refund returning all of the money that was lost but my understanding is that we have to wait a few days to confirm that it’s good to go basically. I tried to contact UpWork support, but no one is available until Monday. I also made an account over the weekend, even though that probably won’t make any difference (especially with life now and all) in hopes that it would help me contact support. Is there anything else I can or should do to ensure this issue is resolved for good and my money is back for good. I don’t recall ever giving anyone my card information, including people who have tried to scam me (which was obvious that they were).

Edit: it was a cashiers check that i picked up from one of my tenants in person that I had deposited in person at the bank the next day.

The money i was charged was done 5 times, with 4 of them being $267.49 and then a final one of $1317.49. I was caught completely off guard when I saw the transactions. As I prior to this, i was trying to pay a condo fee online, but it wouldn’t let me due to some account related info so I checked my account and saw the transactions showing UPWORK Brannan street and some numbers and immediately contacted my bank about the incident.
