Strange Email From Fiverrr

[beardguy1]

I got this strange email today through my company contact us email.
It is as follows:

I am writing to let you know that your fiverr account will be suspended for violation of our terms and conditions.

Please contact us to restore your account. I also ask you to leave us a 5 STAR review on TrustPilot https://uk.trustpilot.com/review/www.fiverr.com

If I do not see a review within 24 hours, I will be leaving negative reviews for your business. Do not waste time and leave us a 5 star review.

Thanks for your cooperation.

You can reach me at support@fiverr.com|

Anyone else see anything like this?

It’s someone who tries to trash fiverr 🙂 Probably someone banned not able to let go.

It looks like you are not the only one receiving this. There are several people on Trustpilot all mentioning similar emails:

It is basically a form of PR hacking from someone with a vendetta against Fiverr. Just ignore it and you will be fine.

Yes, these emails are not from Fiverr and we are working internally on a solution. Please do not click on any link in them and please report any emails like this to support so we can track them.

This is clearly a scam.

[misscrystal]

Apparently even people who never heard of fiverr have gotten that.

[dishadesignshop]

Ignore this type of messages.

This is very good to hear, while you can’t help with the ones that are not customers, it would be smart to send a mass email to your customers telling them about this scam, and to please disregard any requests for reviews on Trustpilot.

This could be a good idea. However, emails like the one in question usually target businesses not affiliated with Fiverr in any way. That you received this email via your company contact page suggests that you receiving this email and being a Fiverr user is a coincidence.

Typically, when businesses send out warnings/notifications like the one you suggest, they do so in response to hacks and other data breaches. Even though this isn’t the case here, this is how such an email might get interpreted by some people. That could cause panic and be worse for Fiverr than the current Trust Pilot situation.

All that said, if I was Fiverr, I’d turn thus situation to my favor by publicly announcing a bounty available to anyone who can identify the people responsible for the Trust Pilot email.

From reading some of the examples on Trust Pilot, I get the impression that emails are being written and sent my at least two different people. If I’m right, a bounty would be a good way to turn a team against itself. Then there is the fact that people who do things like this often like to take credit and blab to other people.

As I see it, bounty hunting the culprits would potentially catch them and generate some good Fiverr PR in the process. Maybe float that idea past the people at marketing @mjensen415 😉

To break this down simply, this person is called Bob, he’s sitting somewhere in a dreary Internet cafe somewhere in country that is not America, and he wants to empty your bank account.

This is a standard scam email template with a few Fiverr references thrown in to catch your attention. Just ignore it and keep living your life.

Also, depending on your spam filter, report it for phishing and block the domain.

Ignoring these kind of emails is the best solution. But if you are confused its good to confirm it like you did before getting into trap. Moreover do not contact Fiver support for this.
