How best to disentangle brewed porridge?

I'm a little paranoid and really don't like giving sites my data - rough handling, vulnerabilities, and all your data in someone else's database. At some point, I began to use Virtual Identity - First and last name, nicknames, date of birth, which are not mine, but they are the same on all sites, and even communicating live with people is not a problem.
Recently, I decided to try freelancing. Many wrote about UpWork, quickly registered there, filled in all the fields with the left data that I was already used to, sent the profile to the appraisal - everything is ok. Orders are just a sea, the first order was quickly found, followed by the second, and the third. I decided to withdraw money - I tied Payoneer, everything is ok.
Then I decided to read about Best practice, and then I realized what a fool I am. UpWork easily gives permanent bans for this, and it looks like I already deserved it, because:
1) Registering a second account for real data - a ban for multiacc.
2) If you continue further, then there is a possibility that they will require some kind of verification for nothing, and then a ban for the left data.
3) To change the data, from one person to another, this is generally fucked up, and I myself would give a ban for this.
Attention, the question: Who communicated with support, how understanding are they with such weirdos like me? Can I hope for a pardon for turning myself in (I am even ready to pay a fine)? I didn’t cheat on anyone, all the clients were satisfied, UpWork received its percentage, everything seems to be clean here. Is there a way out of this situation, or am I already stigmatized for life?
It's a shame, because I liked the experience, it's easier to communicate with clients than I thought, they gave money almost for nothing, and there were plans to devote a lot of time to working here.

right now they will tell you how you can soar upwork on one Pioneer card, yeah
, services that drive money online have a huge problem - fraud , and fraud on upwork is not 29.99 like on pornsite, but 299, 1299 and more
To counter the fraud, Upwork asks there is more information (the Pioneer has the same, by the way), and anyway, having a new account with a passport scan, an active number and a male voice answering, no system is able to predict who is on the other side. Therefore, bans "if caught" in all such services are eternal.

paranoid upwork does not like mother's anonymous - get ready for the worst.
but in general you can go to https://odeskconf.slack.com - conf of Russian upworkers, there are their employees there, you can ask.

Delete account, then create a new one, it seems obvious to me

Who communicated with support, how sympathetic they are to such weirdos like me?
with zero understanding
highly unlikely
Abandon this account, register another one from another computer and IP address for real data. All cards, accounts, photos, descriptions, etc. of course others too.

support does not accept such things, it would be logical to remove the ak and start a new one, protecting it from the old one as much as possible

Excuse me, what's the problem with getting a new acc? I'm not a specialist, and I don't know how exactly they catch multiacc, but I don't think that 24/7 surveillance is established there for every freelancer.
1. Do not go to the old acc (or, as they say above, delete it altogether, if possible).
2. Register a new one.
3. If possible, change the IP address (you need to check with the provider), but this is not important (a lot of providers do not provide a real ip to their clients, several thousand people can sit on the Internet under one ip, this can be answered by Upwork if you suddenly there will be questions), the main thing is not to log in at the same time under different accounts.
4. If you installed a time tracker, you can reinstall the system to update the system identifiers, but I don't know if they have a similar check.

I changed my first and last name to upwork, two years before the first earnings (my profile hung inactive for about a year). There was nothing.
I would register a new account through a proxy and through the proxy I went to it once or twice. And then he wrote to support with your question.

nehrist Please write how you managed to solve this issue. I have exactly the same story, and this question worries me very much - I think half of my head is already gray because of this.
