What do you think???

The message is a clear scam. Contacting the user by email is ToS violation. This has been left up as a double caution. OP: Do not ever contact a Fiverr user (scammer or not) outside Fiverr.

How can people still fall for those sorts of messages? I guess it still works from time to time, otherwise they wouldn´t exist anymore.

[onlinedzshop]

Have you read fiverr terms ? contacting a client outside of fiverr could get your account terminated…

[hughmura]

Oldest scam still active. Thanks for alerting those who do not know.

[fitrigwrites4u]

Don´t fall for that.

[coz9797]

Definitely a scam, I’ve had something similar myself.

[misscrystal]

Many of us got that but you are the first one to admit on the forum you contacted her by email . This is strictly forbidden.

[destinyrose]

I have seen that same one all over the internet wow hard to believe anyone would fall for it

[ytheekshana]

I got the same message from a different person, Just after second i received it, I reported the message

[fora3studio]

Hello, please do not contact out side of fiverr otherwise your account will be block by fiverr 😦 so be careful.

[gracebjarnson]

The more people report these scams the better. I posted about this several days ago. We have to work together to make Fiverr a safer place to do business.

[drawinglady]

Scam!!!

[mikeiverson]

Just kidding. I guess.

[jkesslick]

I contacted that woman and got the money:)

[zahidmushtaq]

It’s a scam. You should report to fiverr. If a buyer ask you to contact him/her on email.

[backlinks_index]

It is a fraud old model.

I often receive emails like that.

They just want your paypal address.
Then they will be hacked easily.

Or your account number.
And they have the software scans the password.

Do not believe the load of bullshit like them

[techmachine]

Not a good idea… first of all fiverr is strictly against contacting buyers outside fiverr… you should go through their TOS. You need to ignore such buyers for the best.

[techmachine]

same here!

[n_shah]

Never respond to such Messages.Report them to fiverr customer support.

[mukadog]

What? Now you tell me it’s a scam. I already quit my job and was looking forward to being rich. Dang

[pabelahd]
