jamessmith650 Posted September 2, 2018 Share Posted September 2, 2018 This has happened to me twice. Somebody messages me saying they are interested in one of my Fiverr services. I tell them “Great! What would you like?” and they essentially use this whole copypasta about how they got locked out of their ****** [Fiverr competitor] account and now want to remotely access my computer to create a new ****** [Fiverr competitor] account and how they’re going to pay “A large per month salary”. I’ve never fallen for it, but it is kind of disappointing being a new seller and the first buyers you get turn out to be scams. I just made this post as a cautionary tale to any other new sellers out there to not fall for these tricks.– JamesMod Note: Fiverr’s competitor’s name edited.

maitasun Posted September 2, 2018 Share Posted September 2, 2018 I deleted his messages from my inbox and unfortunately I don’t remember his username. Is there any way to retrieve either the messages or his username?Once erased, you can’t retrieve the message. Maybe CS has a way to see it although it has been erased but I can’t assure you that.Anyway, you should contact CS and tell them about this.
