How can we prevent a hurricane 🌀 apocalypse? We can’t! 💩 hits the fan, then deal with it.

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.

New sellers sometimes have requests for free samples. Don’t do it.

What @misscrystal said. Don’t do free sample s!@t and at all times: if you feel in your guts that there is something wrong, don’t do business with them.

Yes, the “free sample” will be their job, they will bolt and you will lose. Like we say all the time "Never work for free"

💩 typical fraudulent buyer: “hey I want to know if you can send me a FREE sample”

if your response is: 🤨 “I can´t do that, this service is not like tasting a piece of cheese for free and then buying it! :cheese:” buyer: 💩 “oh okay”

but IF your response is: :crazy_face: "oh yes!!"
buyer: 😈 “thanks for your free sample, see you in the future”

or 😇 “thanks, send me offer please”

then, at the end: 💩the buyer left you 1 star review

😱

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]

This is a 2 year old thread. LOL

Also, just a heads up, you are not allowed to “name and shame” buyers or sellers here. Even if they are worthy of such.

GG

[genuineguidance]

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.

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.

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.

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]

Now that doesn’t surprise me.

Each account gets reported and removed within minutes so it may be even more.

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.
