Beware!

I liked a popular post on Fiverr’s facebook page, then recieved a friend request from a ‘Sam’ from Sri Lanka.

I will not post any more detail.

Basically he mailed and asked for my Fiverr username, then asked If we could work together using paypal cutting out Fiverr.

So I blocked him.

Basically I just wanted to warn people, and also make sure your Facebook does not show your email address…

Unblock him and tell him to order on fiverr! maybe he never saw TOS 🙂

I doubt It, he also said It was for his 30 gigs…

More so I think my email address was more of a priority.

Reply to @brack3n: Send him gig url, i am telling this because same happen to me few times. I send gig link and they ordered 🙂

I think its better to not use your Fiverr or Paypal email address for nothing else but those sites. So I would say refrain from using a facebook page that’s linked to anyone of those email addresses. There’s a lot of bad people out here. You gotta be careful. You did the right thing by blocking them. Kudos to you! 🙂

Reply to @oldbittygrandma: No one can hack knowing your gig link… If i block every one who ask for my gig link, i will never become lvl 2

Thank you

To clarify, he asked If I had a fiverr account so I gave him my url, and I asked If he was the seller whom bought a vehicle (the post on Fiverr’s facebook page), He said he was, and asked me If I would to do some work for him, In which he would pay me directly via paypal. I blocked, screen dumped the conversation, and contacted customer support ataching the screen dump. I posted here due to thinking this guy would probably have been trying this with other sellers which I believe would lead to account hacks, and I knew Fiverr would take 48hrs to see my ticket 🙂

I think the same guy contacted me. Claimed that he will send me $300 for a project. The funny things is, he didn’t message me, but placed an order and attached *.txt file with his facebook details. Reported him, sent a screen shot and it’s all sorted now.
