Reports about spam messages

[natalieab]

Hey everyone,



We’ve received some reports about spam messages that were sent to a number of our community members this week. Fiverr only operates under fiverr.com and websites that contain the word “fiverr” “fiver” should not be followed. Just as a reminder and for your own safety, do not open any suspicious website links sent to you that you are unfamiliar with.



You are encouraged to click on “Report” in the conversation page for our Trust and Safety team to review. This is a good opportunity to remind you to add extra protection to your account by enabling the Security Questions feature if you haven’t already done so.



Have a great weekend!

[adnagam]

Thanks for the update! I received a couple of spammy messages this week.

[nikihiphop]

tHNX Last week i had two spams!terrible 😕

[Guest ypmagic]

I hate these scammers. Somebody needs to stop this madness! DEPLOY THE FBI

[pr_junction]

Yeah, there were some spammy messages in my account too.

[titinochka]

I also got some spam lately. One of the messages attached file, after i download it ask to run as administrator on my PC. I cancel it straight away. Fiverr really need to work on this.

[nir_anjan]

Also I got 3 spams. But now, when I am going to open the conversations, it says’‘For privacy reasons, this user may not be contacted directly’’

[twitterbirds]

I got some too, but the reason why I am here is to remind support about the report I lodged some days back about a fake buyer who after doing a perfect work for him still went ahead to give me a negative feedback, I went through the delivered work and I didn’t see any fault. I took my time to cross check the work done before I delivered it to him, I expect support to look into competitors that disguise as a buyer just to drop a bad feedback for good seller with the intention of reducing the seller’s rating, support please look into this and stop all this lazy sellers.



Sheriff’s note: do not spam other threads please; if you have some complaint, please create a new thread on the proper section!

Reply to @twitterbirds: Please read the Sheriff’s note to you. Also, @natalieb is an administrator, not a member of support, and everyone else are buyers and sellers like you. You need to address your concerns to customer support~

So the report button is only to report spammers? What about people you just want to block? Can it be used for that too? I’ve reported some people who kept asking for free gigs. Is that ok to report?

[ryuken]

I have reported a lot of messages who have asked me to open stuff or do something for them. If they are not clients or friends on this site. the message is going to be either spam or scam.

[superseller2020]

[misscrystal]

I get emails that tell me to go to fiverr and usually I don’t have to login but got a few a month ago that surprisingly I had to login for, then it was nothing, like why did fiverr want me to login for nothing? I didn’t think of spam.

[seotips4u]

Yeah, I got lot of spam advertising msgs

[francy986]

I got a message twice about some book to earn fast in Fiverr. I discarded it right away. :)>-

[superseller2020]

Anyone know how to recognize a Spam Message ?

[idostuff4u]

I’ve been getting a lot of those lately.

My Gig also seems to have gone really quiet, No sales, not even a message.

I wonder if there is any relation?

[ishara94]

Thanks for the info and most of the times, the targets of the spammers will be new members like us.

[Guest bigmish]

Reply to @francy986: Actually, depending on who it is from, it might be legit. I got it from a reputable level 2 seller (As far as I know, they were active on the forums.)



It was a pdf. I didn’t get much from it, mainly because it was geared toward other businesses on fiverr, not so much writing.



I did, however, learn that I could make my video a static image with a voice over. I don’t have an HD camera yet, so that was a big help.



I’m not saying open it if it is from someone you don’t know, but if a level 2 or TRS gives one to you, check it out. They wouldn’t put that work in just to scam someone and get banned, ya know?

[solow13]

A lot of spam lately here on the forum and also via inbox, I’ve received two similar messages that says that they find my profile on fiverr forum.
