newsmike Posted January 11, 2018 Share Posted January 11, 2018 It seems that you are new, so my advice is try not to worry about abolishing injustice and promote your gigs to get as much business as possible. Will someone screw you over here?, yes. But it is easier to take when it is one out of 1,000. Like @nikavoice said stuff happens. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

misscrystal Posted February 3, 2020 Share Posted February 3, 2020 I have received 2 fraud messages in the last 2 days from Fiverr users. They asked me to create an Upwork account and let them use it for $150 a month and $200 a month from the second user.One user name is winwin311.How horrible for you! I hope you reported them!

genuineguidance Posted February 3, 2020 Share Posted February 3, 2020 This is a 2 year old thread. LOLAlso, just a heads up, you are not allowed to “name and shame” buyers or sellers here. Even if they are worthy of such.GG Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
genuineguidance Posted February 3, 2020 Share Posted February 3, 2020 Now that’s a surprise. Are scammers allowed to prowl Fiverr?Of course. There are going to be scammer buyers as well as sellers here. But, they get their comeuppance at some point and their accounts banned.The point is, you are not allowed to “name and shame” a buyer or seller here. If you have a problem with either, take it up with Fiverr customer service directly.GG Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
misscrystal Posted February 3, 2020 Share Posted February 3, 2020 Now that’s a surprise. Are scammers allowed to prowl Fiverr?The forum rule is we are not allowed to name either buyers or sellers. Otherwise this would become just a list of people others have grudges against for whatever reason and they didn’t want that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Otherwise this would become just a list of people others have grudges against for whatever reason and they didn’t want that.Also, there are always 3 sides to a story - and the one who comes in the forum to name someone and lay out the story to of course, make themselves look like the good guy or victim (even if they are), only gives one side of what went down. So, imagine if someone wanted to just smear a sellers name and reputation with a fake story - or a seller wanted to do the same? Not very fair. That is why it is better to contact Fiverr if you have a problem in this area.There is no rule against coming to the forum (Ranting Pot) to complain about an experience you have had or are having - as long as you are not saying WHO you had this experience with.GG Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
misscrystal Posted February 3, 2020 Share Posted February 3, 2020 I give everyone respect but if you want to scam me, game over. I will not mention by name again in this forum.I understand where you’re coming from though.That guy makes 50 new accounts a day. He doesnt care anyway.

misscrystal Posted February 3, 2020 Share Posted February 3, 2020 Now that doesn’t surprise me.Each account gets reported and removed within minutes so it may be even more. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

humanissocial Posted July 19, 2020 Share Posted July 19, 2020 Same happened with me! now I think it was my fault to give him free sample…Don’t do that.Why do you call it a sample? Custom work is NEVER a sample. A sample is a generic piece you can share with multiple people, not free labor.No legitimate buyer expects you to write something for free before they decide to work with you. None.
