I also tried doing UpWork in my spare time, I had a few gigs with good reviews and made ~$300 over about a month. I only took on jobs that I enjoyed so it wasn't like I was trying to live off it.

They also sent me a similar email and requested a video call to verify my identity. They quized me with some programming questions. I found it very impersonal and insulting honestly. I did not get banned but I stopped using their platform after that.

I also tried Freelancer but never did any work there, it was an awful expereince but for different reasons.

I got that call in 2016. I passed that. This was maybe second or third time they have a call with me, and this one was the shortest. Maybe 3 minutes top.
